fun to guess
From Okkonen's work, it would appear to me to be from 1909. I agree it is likely a St. Louis Brown in the rundown.
It appears to be a rundown between first and second. Is the player on the right lefthanded? seems so (is the left hand in a glove or clenched?). The problem is that Cleveland had no lefty first basemen in 1909, and had really no left-handed pitchers either (the top 7 were RH and the most appearances by a southpaw was 7 for the season). That would leave a RF coming in on a rather prolonged rundown, since it wouldn't be a catcher, 2b or SS--Wilbur Good?
The player chasing the runner does not look like a catcher to me--wrong build and no gear, meaning it's a pitcher or 1b. I agree the second sacker is off camera, and the SS may be as well. Given how far he is from the play, the man behind the umpire is either a pitcher or 3b, IMO. Seems he may be too far up on the grass for 3B.
