Walter Johnson is pretty obviously next, and George Mogridge is, I believe, on the right. If my IDs are right, this is a much better picture of Courtney, and a Senators UNI for Erickson.
My best guess would be that the player is not Courtney but Slim McGrew. Courtney is listed as 5 lbs lighter than Erickson next to him. McGrew at 6'7", 235 seems much more probable.
