Thanks for the clarification regarding the uniform. Excuse my error on the date. The formation of the "U" is different in 1919, and the letters are red and blue, thereby excluding that season. To me, this player bears a stronger resemblance to Newkirk than Grimes. The cleft in the chin appears to be more pronounced in the standee photo. Can anyone provide more photos of either man?

Here's a clear 1921 Conlon photo of Grimes. It's so close (right eyebrow, ear, puffy eyes), but I'm put off by the subtle differences (right nostril, tip of nose, lack of steeliness in the eyes) which are what keep me leaning towards it possibly being Newkirk or someone else. Thus far, nobody else from the 1921 club comes close.

ETA: Would the standee photo likely date to 1923? The pairing of the blue/white hat with the blue sun collar on a road uniform might just narrow it down to that season. If that's indeed correct, then a much more obvious case can be made for Ray Grimes.
