Rixey's shadow is different in the two photos. Also, there's a little wooden bridge that covers the drainage ditch at the gate. It's up in one photo, down in the other. The photos were not taken t the same time.

I think that's just the angle. Maybe not the same exact second they were taking, but both Bain and Conlons were taking a picture(s) of Eppa Rixey next to each other while he was warming up.

If you look in the stands...they are empty expect one guy in a hat. That's in both photos. Distance seems right as well. The patch of grass that is dead by his foot as well.

Default sorry to hijack the thread
Strange that the Bain photo notes Fred Luderus, who may be off to the side.

One of the other Bain photos was used by Mendelsohn for J. Erskine Mayer's m101-5 card--thanks for the link as I am always trying to track down source photos for the m101 sets:

Luderus and Rixey had a facial resemblance to each other. I think it was a misidentification by someone who didn't know that Luderus threw right-handed.

That's a Luderus explanation.

To me it looks like the bridge is down in both photos.
