Unless my eyes are going, does his cap lack the Cincinnati "C" on it? If it is missing then this is definitely taken at spring training - the Reds used plain caps during the spring, that is, navy crown and red brim, no "C". I've seen countless spring training shots of the Reds circa 1938-41 and this is so. Not quite sure why, but maybe because once the rosters were settled the guys going with the big club had a "C" sewn on and those guys going to a minor league affiliate got what ever letter went with that teams uniform. Or maybe plain caps were cheap and disposed after spring training, who knows? The Brooklyn Dodgers also had a giveaway sign that a picture was taken at spring training - the "B" was embroidered on a separate piece of wool and then sewn onto the cap. When opening day came around these were exchanged for a regular cap with the "B" direct embroidered on the cap. The 1940's Pittsburgh Pirates were the same as Brooklyn.
