the card "Trying to Catch Him Napping" is very close to one of these photos as well showing Fred Tenney and an unnamed runner. In the original photo I think the runner is possibly another Giant and its just a photo of a warmup or practice game where as on the T3 it is obviously a Red.
The card you are speaking of I am pretty sure is Art Devlin as the 3rd basemen pictured seems right handed. That eliminates the possibility that this T3 could have been a variation of one of these original photos showing Fred Tenney as Fred was Left handed. That fact that the other card is very assuredly Tim Jordan makes me think he is the runner is the card you mentioned.
Hope this is of some help
