I was mistaken in seeing a "P" on the uniform. Looks more like a "V" which would make it Vancouver. Their ballpark in those days was Athletic Park for which there are more images to be found. The attached colorized photo, although from 1935, shows a similarity with the row of houses. My semi-educated conclusion then is that the photo was taken in Vancouver. As for the year I think the telltale would be the bee on the sleeve. The 1911 Obaks don't show it and the 1914 team postcard doesn't show it either. That leaves 1912, '13 and '15. I'd start with 1915 and try to photo match faces. Some of the mugs are pretty distinctive but I'm still not able to ID anyone. The tall fellow on the right could be Kelly for all I know although I haven't found anything to substantiate that except for he is big and lanky, and I want it to be him. Maybe one of the N54 eagle eyes will be able to help.
