Thanks Hank - I should have guessed you would have some. I bought your book and am eagerly looking forward to reading it.

Just occurred to me that since Cobb isn't in the 1939 photo, either, there may never have been a photo of the four of them together.

You would think that Wagner/Mathewson & Cobb/Johnson might have occurred at least once - since they played in the same 8-team leagues.

I believe I have seen Mathewson and Cobb together in their WWI uniforms.

I've seen several of Cobb and Johnson. And here's two more with three of them together, Christy Walsh Syndicate photos.
