Default W516/W520/W522 Wibur Cooper & Babe Adams

I was looking for a 1920 card for the chronological thread and noticed that the pictures of the W516 Babe Adams card and the W520 Wibur Cooper I have are the same picture (just reversed). It is one of the goofier pictures in the sets and I always thought the image looked nothing like Babe Adams, but never really looked into it until today.

Anyways here are the two images (along with Wilbur Cooper's W516-1 card as well)



I'm not sure who the right id is but I would lean more towards Cooper than Adams. Anyways, I thought it was interesting.

I happen to collect cards of Adams and Cooper and have wondered about that middle Adams. I never noticed how much it looks like Cooper, but I did recognize that the player is wearing a Phillies cap. In any case, it doesn't look much like the great Babe Adams.
