Attractive basketball postcard from 1918 featuring Warren Giles ostensibly the team's coach. By 1919 Giles had returned from being stationed in France during the war and was asked to run Moline's baseball team. This began a long history of coaching managing and serving as a sports executive which landed him in the Baseball Hall of Fame. The postcard is in GOOD condition some minor surface wear not disrupting the image at all. Some writing on the reverse including identification of the photo's subjects is present.
