Here's another photo of it:

Those are two different pictures, but now I'm inclined to agree that they were taken on the same day. (The people in the bleachers are arranged almost identically in the two images, and the debris in the foreground also matches.) I think that Jim "Deacon" McGuire is the balding man in a sweater who has just taken his cap off (second from the right among the Tiger personnel), and he did not join the Detroit coaching staff until 1912.
