Pre-War Photo ID Help Needed
 
Hoping someone can help me out with these two.

First is a photo of George Moriarity being carried off the field after an injury. Can anyone identify the other Tigers players who are doing the carrying??

Here is another one. Back is written "filing in to the grand stand". Anyone know what park this would be for?

Any help is appreciated.

The fencing in the bottom photo looks like outside the Polo Grounds.
I had some 1912 World Series shots like that. Not sure, but worth looking at.

It happened on August 8, 1911 in the 1st game of a doubleheader at New York.

That is pretty awesome!

Hard to tell and could be completely wrong but the guy towards the back does look like Cobb to me.

I agree with Jeff.

Looks like it could be pitcher Ed Siever (the guy who looks like Cobb ) and catcher Boss Schmidt to the right of the player wearing a sweater. The umpire may be holding some of Schmidt's catcher gear or possibly just his own gear.

Boss Schmidt would make sense. He played in the second game that day and was an absolute beast. I think that is the trainer and not an umpire (medical bag). I don't think it is Siever unless he was a coach after his playing career. His last major league game was in 1908 and this happened in 1911.

Harry Tuthill the Detroit Tiger trainer with the bag.
