Default I know it's Cobb, but is it Speaker???

I recently purchased a 1930s snapshot photo of Ty Cobb hunting with a group of friends/associates. It measures approx. 5x7 and while the faces are not very large, it is undoubtedly Cobb.

When I received it, my immediate reaction was that Tris Speaker was also in the photo on the far left (I believe Cobb and Speaker were hunting buddies). After digging around for some images, I am fairly certain that it is indeed Speaker, but would like some other opinions.

I am basing this on his face in the image, but also the unique "hunting hat" he is wearing. The first image is mine, followed by enlarged views of Cobb and most likely Speaker. The other photos were off the internet with the last being a photo showing an older Cobb, Speaker and Ruth.

So, in your opinion, is the guy on the far left Tris Speaker?
