Maybe an aging Hooks Wiltse in the center? Good luck

Moose McCormick is on the left. The photo was taken in 1944 at the same time as this image (which I do not own).

NYT article about "War Bonds" game on June 26, 1944. Doesn't appear to have been an old-timers game per se but rather that the deadballers were trotted out in uniform as part of the fund raising ceremonies.
