Default 1907 NYAL mystery photos

I have a 1907 composite photo that is likely a presentation piece after season was done but 2 of the photos are unlabeled. Any guesses on who the players might be? One looks like Neal Ball but I thought you guys might have some ideas. One could be either Rudy Baerwald or Branch Rickey?

I think that both images could be Clark Griffith. The middle two photos below are Griffith in 1904 and 1905.

I don't know. Griffith would have been 38 in 1907 and only pitched 4 games. Photo looks like a much younger player. I guess earlier photo could have been used but he was already pictured as the manager.

The image on the left (with NY clearly visible on the shirt) shows a player wearing a 1906 uniform, when Griffith pitched in 17 games; he was very much a part of his own pitching staff then. The face has the same strong features as Griffith's; I'm pretty certain that's him. The other photo is not as clear, but still resembles him. Perhaps this collage was made as a gift to Griffith himself, so the images of him in uniform did not need to be identified.

On the reverse there is a notation of Al Orth - I was kind of assuming that this was distributed to all the team members after the season and that it might have been in whatever he saved

Al Orth is the third player and looks like in Chicago. Here's another of him in Chicago in 1905.

Below is detail re Orth on the composite. I still think the unlabeled guy near him is Neal Ball.

The unlabeled player is wearing a dark uniform, which the Highlanders last wore in the 1906 season. Neal Ball debuted with the team in September, 1907. Why would he be wearing a dark uniform?

This is not a 1907 team photo but rather a composite photo. I guess the team did not have individual photos done of each player each year but rather provided the photographer what they had on hand to put together the piece.

Lew Brockett is included among the players on the composite. Brockett started the season with New York, but his contract was sold to Montreal of the Eastern League in early August. I don't think that any of the players that joined the team in September are clearly identified on this piece, so it seems likely that it was made before or early in the season rather than afterwards.

In addition, Cy Barger (who is in the composite) pitched in just one game for the Highlanders, on May 10th. The rest of his games in 1907 were in the Eastern League. This is pretty clearly a composite of the team that began the season.
