Brian - I think you do. Before we get to that, the uniform/cap styles of the guys on your image are basically pre-1910 (note especially the collars). Two of the guys have lace up jerseys - so it can even be late 1890s-early 1900s. Paul Waner was born in 1903, so that's a problem and makes the Waner ID unlikely.
What is conclusive are the substantial facial feature differences. I know the scan you posted (below center) is not good, but it's good enough to see that your guy has a nice turned-up nose, while P. Waner had a big hook nose. And yes, the ear is way different. Your guy isn't him.
