I need help to identify old polo grounds world series pre game photo
3 Attachment(s)
An original 5" x 7" photo at the polo grounds which i purchased with an original 5" x 7" carl buckeye, tris speaker, ty cobb, max wilde in their hunting outfits photograph (posted in separate thread) need help to identify the gentlemen at the polo grounds. Thank you for any info.

Guessing 1913 World Series. The gentleman to the far left appears to be Ardolph Loges Kline, who was acting Mayor of New York at the time. Try doing some research on New York and Philadelphia politicians or executives who may likely have attended.
|
On further thought this could be 1911 or 1912 World Series. If so person second to the left appears to be New York Mayor William Jay Gaynor, who died in Sept. 1913, and to the far left is Loges Kline who would have been in Gaynor's administration.

Bingo. Found the photo. Apr. 1913 Polo Grounds. See link...

Unfortunately he does not want to do that. He would rather have others do his work so he can then list it on ebay as a rare photo with a price of $500 or more. Take a look at the prior conversation on the Rangers photo. Told by several including myself that it was not taken in Lake Placid but rather in either Switzerland or France. He then lists it on ebay stating that Net54 members identified it as Lake Placid.

Evajoy, I suggest you change your Rangers photo listing. If you show your willingness to do the right thing, and use the information given to you correctly (not just selectively pick what fits your story), then you may see more willingness from from others on the board to help you with items like your "Carl" Buckeye question - which, by the way, is very easy IF YOU JUST LOOK CLOSELY AT YOUR PHOTO AND THEN GOOGLE SEARCH - I mean really look, it is right in front of you. |
Joe, you should charge this lazy guy for doing his work for him. He did not have time to google, but he had time to list it on ebay for $500. He starts these individual threads for each of his photos, purely as advertisement for his sales. All have been listed on ebay after he first has us do his research for him.
I guess he supplies hits for the website advertisers, but that's about it. |
