Default Help with player/team/date IDs on old photos?

Hi, trying to help out a guy on another (lightly trafficked) forum who seems unwilling or unable
to post here as we recommended he do. Regardless, our own curiosity has by now been piqued
sufficiently that we're gonna post here anyway. He has a group of seven photos mostly devoid of
any identifying information. We think we've solved a couple of them, but most have stumped us.
Any certain identification of the pictured individuals, their team, the ballpark (when visible), and
the approximate date the photo was taken would be hugely appreciated. We've annotated the pics
with what we think we know -- please confirm, refute, or add...

pic 1 -- we're pretty certain this is Benny Bengough in a photo taken between 1923 and 1926:



pic 2 -- no idea on this guy, although we're probably stupid not to recognize him.
High collar suggests pre-WWI, but the big G has us stumped. Can't match the uni
to any major league team. Stadium look familiar to anybody?



More to follow...
