They called him "Slick"

In the past two weeks, I have received more pictures from family members than I have in the past two years. I hope to receive more, and I will post them here with any additional information received.
 
The pics below are of Frank "Slick" Raykovitz (1896-1986), my maternal grandfather's brother.
 
Thanks, Damian.

"I think 'Slick' got the nickname as a result of his being a slick pitcher for the Blackman's Athletic Club baseball team in 1917"

 
More to follow.
