Default Mystery quiz: help ID somebody else's old baseball pics

We've nothing to do with this other than that we really enjoy sleuthing out (or seeing someone else sleuth out) the pertinent facts of old photos
(and really hate unsolved mysteries and when somebody comes to a sports forum asking for help with that sort of thing
and then doesn't co-operate or even respond despite scads of help offered).

A vendor showed up about a week ago on the eBay Sports Cards & Memorabilia forum asking for ID help on four old baseball pics
(glass plates, as it turns out), seen here:
http://community.ebay.com/t5/Sports-...4314#U21014314

We haven't gotten very far (or really anywhere) with them, and through the vendor's apparent lack of interest, that eBay thread has idled
and is sliding down towards page 2. Our best wild shot in the dark on the fourth photo is Red McKee, at Hilltop Park, 1913, Joe Smith catching
(our second best guess is Colonel Mustard, in the parlor, with a wrench).
The third photo looks to be a Cleveland player, also from 1913 and at the same ballpark.
Any help, boys? Players, years, stadia?
