Default 1914 B18 Blankets Questions

FYI - I am working on a description of an upcoming auction. I only buy them here and there but the collector in me has a couple questions about this set.

Can someone confirm (with images) these three player/variations?
Chance/Yellow Pennants-Blue Infield,
Griffith/White Infield-Red Pennants,
O'Neill/Red Pennants.

The few near sets sold at auction have all been missing these same three. They are listed in the SCD but I am wondering if they even exist.

Red Infields
SCD lists 17 different. Nine are Boston Braves and there is one player for each position. The other eight are Detroit Tigers, again, one player at each position but no shortstop. I'm thinking there has to be (or at least should be) a ninth Tiger and it should be their shortstop. Baseball-reference.com says their SS was Donie Bush but he isn't in the set. Del Gainer is in the set but not listed in SCD as having a red infield. According to baseball-reference.com he was 1st base and OF. Does anyone have a B18 Del Gainer with a red infield? It make sense if a ninth player exists it is going to be Gainer.

Thanks for any help,
Peter
