Somehow he seems a little sad. His eyes are focusing something behind the photographer... maybe eternity? He puts up a smile, but is actually thinking about something completely else...

A mechanic with a coin belt and conductor type hat??? The greasy shirt says "mechanic", but his accessories say "not". Maybe he was pulling double duties. Great photo anyway.

don't forget those were the days of full-service gas stations. I'd guess he pumped gas in addition to his mechanic duties. also, back then most service station attendants wore uniforms including peaked caps.

Likely Clarence Kraft, with a "K," a minor league ballplayer, whose major league "rights" were owned by the Brooklyn Dodgers. After Kraft briefly played in the major leagues early in 1914, Charles Ebbets and the team sought to send Kraft to the Newark Indians AA league team. However, Kraft's minor league rights were claimed by the Nashville Volunteers A league team. The dispute concerning where Kraft should play would almost lead to a player's strike. The matter was eventually resolved when Ebbets paid the Nashville A team $2,500 compensation to rescind their claim, and Kraft's designation to Newark was approved. For more details, see: Baseball: The Golden Age, by Harold Seymour, Oxford University Press, 1971 (Pages 228-229)

TVL 1970, thanks for correcting the spelling, I ask our catalogers to fix it. That's an interesting story. $2,500 was a good a bit of money back then but I guess it's better than having the players go on strike.
