Photo help with 27 Yanks

[Lordstan]

Hello all,
I just picked up this lot of 18 snapshots.
The 70yo gentleman I bought them from told me his father told him they were taken in Spring Training 1927,
The first group include, what I think is a very rare snapshot of a team photo. While, I am not an expert on these, I have never seen a snap of a team before. Also the the pics below and to the left of the team supposedly show a young Lou Gehrig. It is hard to tell for sure, but does look a lot like him. To the further left are 4 pictures containing Herb Pennock, two in action. The last of the first group is labeled Chapman.
In the third picture upper left, is Tony Lazzeri.
The rest I am unsure of. This is where I would like some help from the board to identify some of the other players.
I will post close ups of faces if anyone would like.







Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Mark

Edit:Sorry the pictures came out a lot smaller than I thought. I will rescan them tomorrow a bit bigger

The guy surrounded by girls--one holding his bat, the other his glove--is catcher Pat Collins.

There's a photo of the young guy standing with pitcher Wilcy Moore.

Bigger scans would help.

Top row: First 2 pics are Pennock;the third is ???;fourth clearly a team shot

2nd Row: First pic ??; second pic looks like pennock in front & ?? in back; 3rd pic ?? in front & not pennock in back (righty thrower); 4th pic ??

3rd Row: first pic david may be right on wilcy moore, second pic possible coach Charles O'leary, 3rd pic John Grabowski

4th row: first pic ??; second pic could be Meusel (too small to tell); 3rd pic ??

5th row: first pic Lazzeri; 2nd pic looks more like Bengough to me than Collins

6th Row: first pic ??; 2nd pic looks like Coach Arthur Fletcher

[David Atkatz]

I think you're right, Phil--it's Bengough.

Agreed. Small and often blurred, badly lit, fingers in the lens, poorly developed etc. But no doubt, one-of-a-kind images.


The players expressions are far more (genuine) in these, than the professional shots.

Nice stuff Mark!

Thanks everyonewho posted so far. I do plan to do better scans tonight which should make id's easier.

Steve,
Very nice album. I'll have to look at AC Moore for that one.

I just posted a bunch of close ups of the snapshots, below. I numbered them all and will label them as they are identified.
Viewing them this way makes me wonder if they two in the first grouping below are Gehrig, but I think the third is closer.
Any help is appreciated.
