Here is a 1916 photo of Detroit Tigers players warming up in Spring Training at Jungle Park in Waxahachie, Texas. This is my hometown and the park, which is still in use and celebrated its 100th anniversary yesterday, was built to host the Tigers and a couple of other major league teams over the ensuing decade.

I know it is a long shot given the shadows, but can anyone identify any of the players depicted?

And of course if anyone has this original photo please let me know.

Best I could do hosting without enlarging them which seems no better (actually not as good)..Sorry about that.
Kind of hard to make them out but good luck!!

Certainly looks like Crawford is the first on the left. Cobb the one swinging his arm.

Second from left Stanage or Bush?

Just taking stabs in the dark here.
