I've always loved this photo, signed or unsigned. It's still weird to see Hooks as a coach for the Yanks that year - he's always a Giant to me!

i believe i know but i am going to double check first. About 4 years ago this went at auction and sold for 90,000 plus, and there is quite a nice scan of it on the internet too.

That is a different Hooks Wiltse, not THE Hooke Wiltse.
From SABR In 1925 Miller Huggins brought him back to New York as pitching coach of the Yankees, just in time for Babe Ruth's bellyache to mire the team in the second division. Wiltse retired from baseball after spending 1926 back in the International League with Reading. This is a jim wiltse or wiltsie who had a tryout as a pitcher in 1927, he didnt make the team, he took the moniker "hooks" in tribute to george wiltse.
