Maybe this is a Billy Myers endorsed signature. Billy was a key cog SS for the champion Reds in 1939-40. He shows up on a Hutch, also Banner and is cataloged in D&M in 1940-42. Hutch or D&M could have made the glove for McMillan Co. Also possibility a Buddy Myer, also same era player and also
on a Hutch. (Player Autograph Finder)
