Just picked this up. Do any of you have any idea who the players might be in this Vitagraph photo with John Bunny from the movie short |

I see a Ward's Tip Tops bread sign on the fence so I think this is probably Washington Park in Brooklyn. And since it's 1914 I think you have some Brooklyn Tip Tops (Federal League) players in the photo. |

Nice score...It looks like the players on the right are Brooklyn players - maybe the guy in the catcher's gear is an actor?...he's wearing a bow tie. Looks like maybe three Tip Tops players and the rest are probably actors judging by their uniforms. |

Could the guy in the photo who actually looks like an athlete (far right) be Casey Stengel? I think it looks something like him and he played for Brooklyn at that time. |

The reason why I think this is Washington Park in Brooklyn is because of the Tip Top advertising...Would the Brooklyn Robins (Dodgers) allow Tip Top advertising in their park when the owner of that company also owned the Brooklyn Federal League team? I doubt it, especially when you consider the bad blood between the two leagues. |

OK I've seen the movie --I always thought it was the Superbas as there was a reference to Wheat. |
