I am trying to locate a photo of 1940s/1950s minor league pitcher Bob "Luther" Burns and am not having any luck.
Burns played for the Springfield Cubs (1949), Sioux Fall Canaries (1949), Des Moines Bruins (1954), Cedar Falls Indians (1954), Burlington Bees (1955) and Magic Valley Cowboys (1955) ... but I'm not having any luck even finding a team photo that he was in.
Mr. Burns passed away recently and his family is looking for photos. They have news clips, but no photos.
Any suggestions?

Found this one of a pitcher Bob Burns in The Gazette (Cedar Rapids) August 9, 1954.
