Thanks to the good folks over at Johnson University I have a better version of the 1909 Johnson Bible College baseball team.

Mystery Photo

A reader, Robbie, contacted me about a glass negative that he has in his possession. He came across this 5"x7" glass negative at an antique sale in Kansas City.

Could this be a team photo of the Knoxville Pioneers? The Pioneers were part of the Appalachian League from 1921 to 1924.

Here's the standings of the 1924 Appalachian League:

	1924 Appalachian League
	Team	W	L	Pct.
	First Half
	Knoxville	34	19	0.642
	Morristown	29	24	0.547
	Greeneville	26	25	0.510
	Kingsport	26	26	0.500
	Johnson City	25	29	0.463
	Bristol	18	35	0.340
	Second Half
	Bristol	35	22	0.614
	Knoxville	33	23	0.589
	Greeneville	28	27	0.509
	Johnson City	25	28	0.472
	Morristown	26	30	0.464
	Kingsport	18	37	0.327

Knoxville went on to defeat Bristol in the championship.

So, can anyone help identify the team in the photo?  Is it a team from Kansas City?  Is it the 1924 Appy League champions?
