1916 Cubs Player Photo ID?

Could be McConnell, but it looks too young to be him. From the pic, it resembles Culbreath to me. Good luck finding him in Baseball reference-- seems Hugh Culbreath was a college player called up for Spring training who did not make it on the opening roster.

I dunno, here's an earlier shot of him (also in the background) and the dimensions of his body appear to match. Also, there are a few, albeit lousy, photos of him kicking around online. Look closely at his cheekbones and his ears and they appear to be very close if not a direct match.

Hm. The body builds are very similar. Here's a quick overlap of the two images.

Of course, tall and lanky is a common body size. He does seem tall in the first image, and McConnell is the tallest in the group photo...


I also wonder what these Cubs players thought of having to don the bush-league Fed uniforms? Doesn't seem like the new owner got off to a great start...

I think it looks like Zimmerman. It's a nice photo of Vaughn, congrats. I was looking at that lot and thinking it was a good deal.
