Don,

The photo mentions the White Sox having just escaped the Kansas Flood. That being the case, I think that it might be a mid-season photo. The only Kansas flood of any great importance around that time happened in the first few days of May 1914. The Sox were on a road trip in St Louis at that time, so they were in the area.

Tom, you could be right about the photo being after the season started.

The work up of the photo that you did is certainly more clear. Hopefully when I get it in I can make a good quality scan and post it.

The last guy seated all the way at the back on the right could be Hal Chase possibly. Face seems somewhat shaped like his. Just speculation though.

Pretty blurry images of these guys to go on, as Mark said a better quality image is needed for any definitive id. The only person that bears a slight resemblance to Eddie Cicotte id the guy on the left in the middle with the bow tie, dark vest and baseball cap on.
