Paul Waner (HOF) - circa 1918
Appears to be Paul Waner (HOF) sitting in the middle of the front row. My scanner is not great, but had a chance to compare features with an 8 x Lupe and they appear to be spot on - especially nice match on his unique ears and nose - as well as his mouth, chin, eyebrows, and overall build. AZO four triangles up would date this around 1918 - if him, Waner would have been 15 years old - the other guys all look older, but then Waner would have likely been the best player regardless, so it would not have been unusual to play with older men - also, looking at the different uniforms, this appears to be some sort of All-Star team. Paul Waner would have been living in Harrah or near the Oklahoma City area at this time.
The man sitting at the far right, appears to be the same player and teammate, from a different team photo that both Paul and Lloyd Waner are in.
