    Not to argue with whoever captioned the negative, but I think that's Tommy Leach on the left. He was a short guy, and would have been in his late thirties at the time this picture was made. Compare to this picture from Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tommy_Leach_2163486436_01b787e...

    Hi, rjones0856, I have passed on your question to a group of baseball experts for their second opinion. While the players on the far right and left look amazingly similar, when examined at full resolution the player you identify as Leach does have facial wrinkles similar to the image in your link while the player on the left currently identified as Leach appears to be wrinkle free.

    Just occurred to me to look up the other guy, too. Here's a picture of Jimmy Lavender's other profile: www.retrosnapshots.com/images/sports253.jpg I think I'm right. Dunno about the guys in the middle though. :)

    rjones0856, Good eye! Several other avid baseball fans have checked in and they agree with you -- it appears that the names of the players are reversed in the picture. The photo should read from left to right: Tommy Leach, Charlie Smith, Ward Miller and Jimmy Lavender. We'll note the error when we update this record.

    Leach Cross (b. 1886) was known as "the fighting dentist." He was indeed a dentist, born Louis Wallach in an Orthodox Jewish immigrant family on the Lower East Side. He won forty-three fights and fought five champions to draws. See Ellis Island to Ebbets Field: Sport and the American Jewish Experience by Peter Levine (Oxford University Press 1992). Carl Morris (1887-1951) was a Kentucky fighter known as "the Original White Hope." cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/morris-c.htm
