also.... someone has pointed out that the person in the third picture - second row - far right - may be Roy "Cotton" Bogren who was the head groundskeeper for the Cubs for a long time / but started as the 'clubhouse boy'..... any thoughts on that one?

also - - I will look for Paul Dean photos to hopefully find a match.

I'm still trying to find out who is right next to Delancey(it's killing me!) but the one right next to him i'm pretty sure is John Rothrock...that would me 2nd picture top row far right. regards, brandon...Edited to add that it's Jack Rothrock (John was his birth name)

okay...I'm leaning towards pitcher Bill Walker right next to Delancey. My apologies if i'm wrong... Brandon

Can't sleep tonight so I thought I'd take a stab at one more if okay...Third group top row middle...I'm guessing it could be Virgil "Spud" Davis. Looks like a Cardinal Uni and the eyebrows match other photos of him but i've been wrong before! Brandon

Third group middle of top row is Virgil "Spud" Davis-St. Louis Cardinals. Last picture in grouping is Ford Frick-National League President.

Thanks Brandon and Brian! awesome

I am going with Ford Frick and Virgil Davis (found similar/supporting photos).


That does look like Bill Walker next to Delancey but I am going to try to find better supporting photos.

And.... I will try to come up with something on Jack Rothrock (can't seem to find any photos to support).


Thanks!!

Thank you to everyone..... we knocked out 17 of them pretty quickly.


I am down to the last 8.





- - Top row, first person on left - - After seeing Ford Frick, I looked up the American League President of the time..... this has me wondering if this photo is Will Harridge (looking for a young photo of him to match up).

- - Top row, second person looks like Bill Walker (looking for more photo evidence)

- - Top row, person on right - signature looks like Cotton Bogren.... who was a clubhouse boy for the Cubs (and eventually a long career as groundskeeper). I am looking for some photo evidence.

- - Miiddle Row, first photo on left - possibly Paul Dean. Looking for some more photo evidence

[gashouse34]

Or at least confuse a little! I'm at work so I cant provide solid photo evidence but I feel pretty confident in my Jack Rothrock and Bill Walker ID's. I will say for certian that the one i believe to be Rothrock is definately not Daffy Dean. Maybe some other old cardinal collectors will chime in. Also wanted to add that in your new photo the player that is dead center looks like a young player for the Boston Braves maybe? With that in mind he kinda reminded me of a VERY young Vincent Dimaggio(who came up to the bigs i believe in '36 or '37 w/Boston) but I'm not at all familiar with the old Braves teams. Best of luck with the rest though and again sorry to confuse! Brandon
