Tony,

Did a little more digging, and see what else I came up with in post #10. I'm wondering if this photo wasn't taken outside Chicago, possibly in New York. They may have all been together on some MLB business. Also, once Tinker moved to Orlando in 1920, I would think with his team ownership and managerial duties, along with the start up of his real estate issues and his wife's health issues, this chance photo op more likely took place before his 1920 move to Florida. Pure speculation on my part though.

I’m not any value to the history of the photo but wow, what a great one.

I played with the levels in Photoshop, so here is a close up of the pictures at top right. Maybe it'll help identify them...

And I zoomed in on the pin on his chest to give it a bit more clarity. Perhaps it's also a clue(?) or can help provide insight (if it isn't just a part of the jacket, I mean)...

Funny how the young guy in the picture above Evers head looks eerily like Tinkers Carl Horner portrait.
