Default Federal League HOF photos, how rare? 1915 Roush shown

Thought I'd try my luck on the memorabilia side as well. I am curious as to how rare Type 1 photos of ML HOFers in Federal League uniforms are. The possibilities are Chief Bender, Mordecai Brown, Bill McKechnie, Eddie Plank, Edd Roush and Joe Tinker. I suspect that they are quite rare, but would be glad to be proven wrong, particularly if you can post a Bender.

Post any that you have. Here is mine. It is a 8 x 10 of Edd Roush in 1915 with the Newark Peppers.

Here is a paragraph from SABR's bio on Roush:

"Roush wielded a short, thick-handled bat that weighed 48 ounces, one of the heaviest ever in baseball. He snapped the bat at the ball with his arms and placed line drives to all parts of the field by shifting his feet after the ball left the pitchers hand and altering the timing of his swing. "Place hitting is in a sense glorified bunting," he said. "I only take a half swing at the ball, and the weight of the bat rather than my swing is what drives it."

The photo perfectly exhibits the technique described above.
