This one was a bit tricky but I think I have it from a few small clues and the power of google. I think it is the Heinkel HD 40 (could be HD 39 also), which was apparently built to deliver the newspaper B Z (top half of photo). I initially spotted the German wording in the lower half, then tried googling for newspaper carrying aircraft and similar ideas, and came up with this which seems to fit (and the wheel struts appear to match).

Think it is an HD 40 as the 39 had 10 bays for dropping newspapers, this appears to have 15.

Per Wikipedia, it sounds like both the HD 39 and HD 40 were custom-built, single prototype planes. The HD 40 was only in service for six months before crashing, but the HD 39 was in use for a few years before it too was replaced.

Apparently, this is a better photo of the HD 40:

the New York Times account of the military drills preceding the June 2, 1917 Yankees-Tigers game noted that the Tigers drilled with "sticks", not the guns the Yankees used. query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=950CE7DE133BEE...
