Well, if Tinker and Evers didn't speak 1905 to 1938, could not even stand each other, then how could the guy in the middle of this photo be Tinker?

James, see post #29, unless we are prepared to say that Tinker is also not pictured in that photo. I know from haggling around on these ID threads, that it's easier to say or show that it is not a match.

The Sporting News photo is a nice find - and it shows Tinker's teeth. The guy in question has a broken left incisor while Tinker's is intact in the Sporting News photo from about the same period. As I pointed out above with the earlier photo of Tinker, the teeth don't match so I stand by my thinking that this probably isn't him now that we see his teeth again from the later period.

Also go back to my last line in the first paragraph of post #10. Despite the rumor of them not speaking till 1938, I pointed out how that was untrue apparently due to them appearing in a theatrical skit together in 1929. Plus, as Rob pointed out, there is the 1923 photo that is of Tinker, Evers, and Chance to supposedly show they did get together for at least one other possible group photo.

Maybe Pete can weigh in on teeth. Here's the back of the photo in question. It's interesting that the only id is "Chance". Maybe because it was for West Coast publication, and Chance was regionally more famous, or maybe the person who wrote, "Chance" thought the other id's were more obvious.

I hope LOTG's expert chimes in with his thoughts, or anyone else.
