Identify this 1911 White Sox player?
 

This RPPC is from March 1911 when the Chicago White Sox trained in Mineral Wells, Texas. I am confident of that, but what I am not confident in is the identify of the player. Anyone know who this is?

I'm going to take a stab without looking for comparisons just for fun(the forensic ear as nose folks will be here shortly to get to work). I'm gonna say,.....Donahue

congrats on the pic up. I was interested as it is from spring training in Mineral Wells (very popular donkey rides there then)

I thought it was either Lord or Tannehill with Lord being my first guess

Jim,

Here are the stats of the 1911 Chicago White Sox at Baseball-Reference.com. When you click on each name, a picture comes up on the next page.

also I would suggest if you have newspapers.com account reading the reports from spring training to get a better ST roster as they would have players who didnt make the team as well.

Ive done a ton of research on the White Sox ST from 1916-1919 and IDed group photos and it can be challenging to find photos of the minor leaguers who may have never made the big leagues or worse...example...try to find a photo of Gwynn Williams who trained with the White Sox in 1918 and 1919 who was apparently a local teenager (18-19yo) possibly serving in the Army stationed near by....it can be more than challenging lol

Jesse Baker
 

Putting my chips down on Jesse Baker.
And he was with the Sox in ST in 1911

I was also thinking Jesse Baker, but I couldn't say for sure.

Here is Jesse Baker's photo (which is probably just a b/w image of the Obak shown) from baseball-reference.com. Jesse pitched for Spokane in the PCL in 1909 and 1910, and for the White Sox in 1911.

Looking at the images, I don't think it is Jesse Baker.

Not to question your date & place, but this reminds me of the famous image of the White Sox in Royal Gorge, Colorado, from 1911 I think.

Thanks for all the replies so far, a few look like possibilities and that is my dilemma so keep them coming. I originally thought it is reminiscent of the Royal Gorge as well, but aside from the front Mineral Wells attribution I also found a March 1911 newspaper article about Mineral Wells presenting the White Sox players with burros which had a photo of Ed Walsh on a burro in the same location.

Here is a good list of players in camp on 3-3-1911

Yes it is unquestionably Mineral Wells, the donkey rides were a thing they did.

I have no knowledge, but this is really cool to me, as I'm not too far away in Fort Worth.

This probably doesn't add much but it's the White Sox training in 1913....and I have some 1921 postcards of them training too, one in Waco..

What does the 1920-21 postcards look like? Would love to see them!

Here is another 1911 Spring Training RPPC of the White Sox in Stephenville, Texas. Note the tricycle in the foreground.
