Tom Needham was not with the Cubs in 1908. The player near the left whose face is most visible (he is wearing half sleeves) looks like Jimmy Slagle.

Needham, however, appears to be the player with Frank Chance in the lower photo (not Jimmy Sheckard).

Carl Lundgren was released on April 23, 1909, before the Cubs had visited the Polo Grounds (where these photos were taken). I think the pitcher may be Irv Higginbotham.

The picture with Chance at the plate is of batting practice; the catcher is a Cub (and is wearing a Chicago uniform).

The "Cardinal" sliding is definitely a Brown (but I can't determine which one).

Thanks for sharing these!

Hi Ken

In the Merkle pic, Needham was playing with the Giants and can be better seen the alternate version that is in the Library ofcongress. All the non roster Giants are wearing black hats (Mcgraw,Needham, and what is presumably McGinnity) and the roster Giants are wearing white. The guy with the half shirt sleeves is I am 99% positive is Schulte

I agree regarding Higginbotham


You are right on the chance photo as I just noticed there are still people warming up on the sideline

I agree regarding St. Louis as well. That means the other player is a Highlander as all these photos originated in New York

Great work!
