Nice Wags but what's up with that PSA holder?

Here's one I've never seen before, a 1905-08 Real Photo Postcard of Fred Applegate (Toronto Maple Leafs)

What makes this postcard real cool are the embossed initials "F.R.A." (Frederic Romaine Applegate)

Need some help on this one. This belonged to Zach Wheat. Was in a bunch of his stuff from his early playing days. Does anybody recognize anyone on this card? I know Wheat isn't but wonder if these could be teammates of his.

Interesting tid-bit about this card. The Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards, The Sports Collector's Bible, and Sports Postcard Price Guide all list 17 cards in the 1907 Dietsche set. The Dietsche set is actually 15 cards (16 with Cobb "fielding"). So what is this 17th card then??? It was believed to be a dual-player card of Schaefer & O'Leary. The problem is that no one has ever seen this Dietsche card. It is now believed that the Schaefer/O'Leary Dietsche never existed, but was actually that Wolverine card that was confused by early collectors to be from the Dietsche set.
That Cy Young is awesome by the way.
