Default Christy Mathewson Type 1 Photo ID?????

Hey all,

Picked this up recently and had a few questions about it. First some facts about the photo: It is 8"X10" and is sepia toned and is glossy.

1) According to the Fogel/Yee book, the stamp on the back definitely puts it between 1915-1920. So my assumption is that since Matty joined the Reds in 1916 and ended in 1918, COULD THIS BE CONSIDERED A TYPE 1 PHOTO???

2) Edd Rousch came over with the trade, and that is him standing next to Matty, however, Matty is holding a glove and it looks like a team lineup before a game, AND Matty only pitched 1 game for the Reds on September 4th, 1916 against Mordecai Brown, SO COULD THIS BE THE PICTURE FROM THAT GAME SINCE HE HAS A GLOVE IN HIS HAND??

3) Lastly, does anyone know who the other player is in the photo??

MANY thanks to all of you, as this board is the best at helping other fellow collectors.
