Hey all,
So, I recently bought a copy of this photo in the hopes that I would make a painting from it someday. I received it in the mail yesterday, and while I was in the middle of cataloging it, I noticed that some (if not all) of the player notations made on the negative seem to be off.
The LoC has the image list as follows:
1) The first player on the left is Del Howard.
2) The second player on the left (behind 'Howard') is Three Finger Brown.
3) The fourth player on the left (without the hat) is Kid Durbin.
4) The sixth player on the left (with his head down, and hat covering his face) is Jimmy Slagle.
5) The largest player on the right (with the bag in his hand) is Frank Chance.
So, in no way does that player with the bag in his hand look like Chance to me. If anything, he looks like catcher Johnny Kling. And, the only player I think I'm pretty sure about being correct is Kid Durbin (even though he does look, oddly enough, like Chance).
Can any of you shed some light on the players in this image? Even the ones who are unnamed?
