My off hand guess is the first is a fake, in part as I've seen reprints of that same image.

Though it isn't impossible for a player to be photographed in another city, in particular if it's a city in the same league. A city's photographer was sometimes responsible for photographing players in the entire league, photographing visitors as the came through. Red Wing is a bit obscure-- though I've been there! Home of Red Wing Shoes. For a legitimate photo, big city Minneapolis or St. Paul would make more sense.

Examine the player image with a very strong magnifying glass. If you see multi color dots, it's a reprint. The cardboard mount itself could be antique.
