Default Pete

It is 1926 at Cubs Park/Wrigley Field. The Cubs and their fans held a "day" for the popular old Pete Alexander...in support for his off-field problems with alcohol (which came to a head in 1925). On this day in June, Alexander received this new Lincoln auto and some cash. A few days later he was released and the St. Louis Cardinals picked him up. I am not sure why Alexander has a 1925 cap in his hands. Thoughts?
Sorry, I don't recognize the other gentleman.
