I post an image of Joe Agler and I wonder if the player identified as Moore could be Agler. To my eye I also see some differences from the player identified as Moore in the image with Fred Smith.
Both images above identified as Moore actually picture Moore. I have included larger versions of both along with a 1913 Phillies image, all clearly showing the same ear angle and right cheek mole.

The photo of Moore in a dark Buffalo road uniform could have been taken in 1915, as Moore was with the team early in the season (likely only during spring training) but refused to accept a cut in pay. It was reported in July 1915 that Moore was going to become an amateur player for a Cleveland-area team.
