Looking at the picture while I am here at work, I believe the guy standing second from right might be Irv Young. Anybody else have any thoughts? I have access to many Spalding Guides but unfortunately not to the guide from 1916 (which would have the team from 1915, which is when I suspect this photo is from). Also the Spalding Guides have American Association and Eastern/International League rosters in the "Official Roster" sections, so anybody with a 1916 Spalding Guide would be of great help. I am thinking 1915 because Barbeau started with Milwaukee in 1914, but since I don't see Felsch I think it may be the next year (Felsch was essentially the top prospect in baseball after his 1914 Milwaukee season, and was in the majors the next year).
