1935 Burke Photos - Identification Help

[bijoem]

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

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

on the final 8 image recently posted......

One more was found -

Second row, third one over -
It is the bat boy for the Cubs - Gilly Hasbrook.

Here is a 1993 Conlon Collection card of Bill Walker...maybe this will at least help identify him? Brandon

Brandon -

Is that a mole on his face?

Because I don't see a similar mole on the person on the stamp.

edit: it sure does look like him otherwise.

I'm sure that it's not but i did find something better....If you do a search on this site under gashouse gang you will find an archived thread called "lets see your gashouse gang". Go to page 6 of this thread and you will see that Frank Wakefield has the same picture you do with Walker sitting down maybe in the dugout? Sorry i cant figure out how to link this directly to your thread but this might help a little more.
