Mystery quiz: help ID somebody else's old baseball pics

[Butch7999]

We've nothing to do with this other than that we really enjoy sleuthing out (or seeing someone else sleuth out) the pertinent facts of old photos
(and really hate unsolved mysteries and when somebody comes to a sports forum asking for help with that sort of thing
and then doesn't co-operate or even respond despite scads of help offered).

A vendor showed up about a week ago on the eBay Sports Cards & Memorabilia forum asking for ID help on four old baseball pics
(glass plates, as it turns out), seen here:
http://community.ebay.com/t5/Sports-...4314#U21014314

We haven't gotten very far (or really anywhere) with them, and through the vendor's apparent lack of interest, that eBay thread has idled
and is sliding down towards page 2. Our best wild shot in the dark on the fourth photo is Red McKee, at Hilltop Park, 1913, Joe Smith catching
(our second best guess is Colonel Mustard, in the parlor, with a wrench).
The third photo looks to be a Cleveland player, also from 1913 and at the same ballpark.
Any help, boys? Players, years, stadia?

Working on other stuff at the moment, but just so that folks don't have to flip over to eBay (which I didn't even realize had a Sports Cards & Memorabilia forum), here are the images they posted:









Have at 'em, boys!

The 3rd photo is Cleveland player Joe Birmingham,

4th photo looks like Detroit Tigers player Red McKee.

Here's where #1 and #2 are from

Don, thanks very much for your work on these!
Birmingham -- excellent. Looks like a match to us.
McKee? Can't be -- we said McKee, and we're never right!
And we were wrong about Hilltop Park -- Yankees' last season there was 1912 -- so we're still curious as to what singular-looking
1913 stadium it might be that's seen in both those last two pictures.

Most interesting find regarding the first two pics -- the eBay vendor's are allegedly glass plates, so, knowing next to nothing
about that aspect of early photography, we're confused as to how they could be in the LoC and also in the vendor's hands.
Aren't glass plates one-of-a-kind?

Still hoping others will chime in with player and stadia IDs...
