Description
Portrait of Johnny Kling, catcher for the Chicago Cubs. Printed on back: "John Kling, acknowledged to be the greatest catcher before the public. According to the well known critics, it was mainly through his brainy play behind the bat that the 'Cubs' were twice winners of the National League pennant. John's strong point is his throwing and many base runners have fallen before his accurate whip. He is a heavy sticker. Copyrighted and published by A.C. Dietsche, Detroit, Mich., 1907."
