It's a fantastic photo - players I recognize are Davy Jones, Sam Crawford, Ed Killian, Matty McIntyre, Boss Schmidt, Hugh Jennings (mgr), Jim Delahanty and some others I just know that I recognize, but can't place a name.

I think almost certainly this photo is from spring training 1910. There is no Germany Schaeffer whose last year with Detroit is 1909, and it includes Delahanty whose first year with Detroit is 1909, but he didn't start the year with Detroit. Throw in McIntyre and Killian who both played their final year with Detroit in 1910 and it pretty much narrows this photo to spring 1910.
