1912? Eastern League photo ID?

[JeremyW]

I recently picked this silver gelatin photo up & was hoping that someone here could help me ID this guy. From the research that I've done, I believe he played for either the Rochester or Buffalo team (Eastern League) sometime around 1912. There are quite a few cards in the C46 set that match the uniform & background of this photo. But, so far no match. I was able to Google a few images of 1911/12 Rochester premiums, but sadly no matches for this guy. I'm hoping somebody might have a Spalding guide or something that would help me learn his identity. Sorry for the poor scan, I haven't taken it out of the frame/glass. Again, any help or leads would be greatly appreciated. Jeremy

Thanks Vincent! It looks like Toots even got a little playing time for the Phillies in 1911 & 1912. Thanks again.

At first glance (without reading your preface), I thought "How can he not know it's Ty Cobb?!?"

:o

It does look a bit like him on the gelatin though...
