On the right, New York Giants Catcher Chief Meyers, who would end his long tenure with the Giants at the end of the 1915 season to play for their Brooklyn rivals, the Robins (Dodgers). www.baseball-almanac.com/teamstats/schedule.php?y=1915&am... On the left, Brooklyn Catcher Lew McCarty, who would also switch teams and play for the Giants in 1916. www.baseball-almanac.com/players/player.php?p=mccarle01

I think that is an "H" on the negative, and this is Henry Irslinger on the left, an Austrian best known as a champion wrestler. www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/profiles/h/henry-irslinger... However in 1914 he was managing Tom McCarty. In a newspaper article from November, 1914, McCarty is mentioned as "the newest White hope", referring to the effort to find a white boxer to unseat Black boxer Jack Johnson, who had won the heavyweight championship in 1908. news.google.com/newspapers?id=PPxbAAAAIBAJ&sjid=mlQNA...

Thanks for providing the links artolog. It appears that Henry Irslinger was managing Tommy McCarty in 1914. We'll make the change to the caption and add the date to the record the next time we update.

Luther McCarty (not McCarthy) also here and here.

Thanks! We'll fix the boxer's name in the source data and reload the description.
