Hey Lance, in response to your observation about the Scranton photo, I'm pretty sure it was taken during Opening Day of the season. I've seen several big league photos similar to this and it was common practice back then to have an on field ceremony which would normally include large boquets of flowers. Also, notice that all of the dignitaries are wearing long coats, which probably indicates it was early in the season as well...

The flowers on the first base line have a ribbon that says good luck so I would agree it is early in the season.

1913 catcher & roomate of Lefty Williams (Black Sox), Ed Noyes of the Nashville Volunteers. (Perhaps Lefty is in the background next to kid on bench to the right of 2 other Vols players in the bullpen)
