1935 Burke Photos - Identification Help

[bijoem]

After scanning and labeling my Burke photo stamps (1935-1937) -

I am left with 25 'unknowns'.

If anyone can help identify any of the people in these photo stamps - that would be awesome.

Thank you in advance for any help provided.



The first grouping.....
American League unknowns.
6 Yankees, 3 White Sox





The second grouping.....
National League unknowns
4 St. Louis, 2 Giants, 2 Braves, 1 Cub





The third grouping.....
a little tougher - I don't know a team affiliation for any of these.

Top group middle row left side I think is Frank Crosetti.
Top Group bottom row middle I think is Harold Muddy Ruel.
Middle group middle row left I think is Bill Hallahan
Bottom group Top row right is Bill Terry
The rest don't look immediately familiar.
Best I could,
Mark

Just for quick starts, the Yankees in the first group, from left to right in the first row: Russ Van Atta, Red Rolfe, and Pat Malone...

The second row: Frank Crosetti, Ben Chapman, and Johnny Broaca...

Hope it helps somewhat!

[Lordstan]

Damn.
I should've known Rolfe!

Last scan Packy McPartland was a somewhat famous Boxing Referee.

Second scan from the bottom is old timer Duffy Lewis, I know the signature better than the face.

Oh, and I'm pretty darn sure that in the last group of photos, the third on the first row has to be Bill Terry...

Second Group Middle Bottom Row Braves Uniform looks like Bill McKechnie

I assume the green checkmarks denote those who are already identified. In that spirit, without looking anything up, I give you the the following:

-Second scan, first row, far left is Bill DeLancey
-(Guess) second scan, first row, far right is Paul Dean
-second scan, middle row, middle is Giants trainer Doc Schaeffer
-second scan, middle row, far right is Giants coach Tommy Clarke.

It appears as though there are a few career minor leaguers included here. I'm not at all familiar with this issue.

also.... someone has pointed out that the person in the third picture - second row - far right - may be Roy "Cotton" Bogren who was the head groundskeeper for the Cubs for a long time / but started as the 'clubhouse boy'..... any thoughts on that one?

also - - I will look for Paul Dean photos to hopefully find a match.

I'm still trying to find out who is right next to Delancey(it's killing me!) but the one right next to him i'm pretty sure is John Rothrock...that would me 2nd picture top row far right. regards, brandon...Edited to add that it's Jack Rothrock (John was his birth name)

[gashouse34]

okay...I'm leaning towards pitcher Bill Walker right next to Delancey. My apologies if i'm wrong... Brandon

[gashouse34]

Can't sleep tonight so I thought I'd take a stab at one more if okay...Third group top row middle...I'm guessing it could be Virgil "Spud" Davis. Looks like a Cardinal Uni and the eyebrows match other photos of him but i've been wrong before! Brandon

[Brian Van Horn]

Third group middle of top row is Virgil "Spud" Davis-St. Louis Cardinals. Last picture in grouping is Ford Frick-National League President.

[bijoem]

Thanks Brandon and Brian! awesome

I am going with Ford Frick and Virgil Davis (found similar/supporting photos).


That does look like Bill Walker next to Delancey but I am going to try to find better supporting photos.

And.... I will try to come up with something on Jack Rothrock (can't seem to find any photos to support).


Thanks!!
