To barnstorming teammate John Meyer. He wants him to report to Regina with another player, Slim Turin. Typed signature, "Hap Felsch." Sent from Winnipeg, Canada, one of the few places they were accepted ten long years after The Scandal. Some creasing and scrapbook back (6.25x8"). Newspaper photo affixed to the back of Felsch playing with Regina. The Chicago Black Sox Barnstorming Letter Collection Collection of letters and telegrams to a gentleman by the name of John Meyers who played for several 1920's baseball teams that barnstormed throughout the country. He majored in the Black Sox. He was friendly with some of those banned players that highlighted his tours. The Black Sox were popular to organizers because they could be had for a good price, drew a crowd with the fascination of what had happened to these fallen champions, and they were damn good ballplayers. The following were pulled from a precious scrapbook emanating from Mr. Meyer and are some of the few letter examples that exist of these rare signatures.
