It clearly looks to be Frazee to me. The mayor is holding a baseball in the photo so still a little confusing but much more clarity than I originally had. At least I opined it was an opening day ceremony. I was just two years early.
It makes sense to me. Umpire hands the Mayor the ball, walks away and hand shakes and posing begins. Maybe there was also a picture taken of Connolly handing over the ball, but we may never know unless it's residing in another collection somewhere, or the photographer didn't get the timing right, or it just never survived.
