A postcard of Leslie Mann when he played for the Chicago Chi-Feds, the Chicago Franchise of the Federal Leauge. The team was known as the Chi-Feds in 1914 and the Whales in 1915. It is believed that this photo was taken in Spring Training in Spring Training in Shreveport, LA in March or April of 1915. For biographical information on Leslie Mann, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/563. The date was arrived at because of information within the Leslie Mann Collection and the fact that they apparently used the 1914 uniforms in the Spring of 1915. 1915 Whale logo was used for the regular 1915 season.
