vintage spalding uniform

I joined the glove forum yesterday and my first post(besides saying hello) is about a uniform?

I found this uniform over the weekend and was wondering if anyone could help date and value it. The lady at the antique store told me she bought it from an estate and was told by the seller that it was her brothers and he played for a team in Gary, In or Chicago Heights, Il in the 1930's. I looked at the Spalding glove patch collage that someone posted on another glove site and according to that it would date a little earlier, but do glove patches apply to uniforms?

Here's a link to a site that shows the uniform tags and years. Hope this helps

I guess the lady at the antique store was right it does look like the patch from 1925-1935 era. She told me the lady who sold it to her had a picture somewhere of her brother wearing it. Wish I had that too. Thanks for the link to the website.
