In August of 1912, Cobb was stabbed in the streets of Detroit while involved in a street fight with three men. He was on his way to the train station to catch a train to take him to a road game - in Syracuse, NY. It wasn't unusual for MLB teams to play exhibitions against minor league clubs during the season back in the day. A little research might indicate a minor league city was where the photo was taken. Also, MLB teams played many minor league teams on their way back north after spring training. A check of the Free Press might yield some information on where the Tigers played in 1912 besides major league cities.
