I need help to identify old polo grounds world series pre game photo

Guessing 1913 World Series. The gentleman to the far left appears to be Ardolph Loges Kline, who was acting Mayor of New York at the time. Try doing some research on New York and Philadelphia politicians or executives who may likely have attended.

On further thought this could be 1911 or 1912 World Series. If so person second to the left appears to be New York Mayor William Jay Gaynor, who died in Sept. 1913, and to the far left is Loges Kline who would have been in Gaynor's administration.

You are welcome, but all I do is read and learn from the outstanding members of this board like Brock, and so many others. Take a lesson that with a little effort you can do some research on your own too. All I did was google "Polo Grounds 1913", and looked through the images - you could have done that.

Unfortunately he does not want to do that. He would rather have others do his work so he can then list it on ebay as a rare photo with a price of $500 or more. Take a look at the prior conversation on the Rangers photo. Told by several including myself that it was not taken in Lake Placid but rather in either Switzerland or France. He then lists it on ebay stating that Net54 members identified it as Lake Placid.
