Appearance and position suggest Clay Perry to be the better fit.

I found an article in the August 13, 1909 issue of the Chicago Tribune which indicated that Detroit had farmed Clayton Perry out to Little Rock. Baseball-reference.com indicates that Clayton played 140 games with Little Rock in 1909, so he must have been there all season, but the Tribune article at least provides evidence of a continuing affiliation with Detroit well into 1909. I agree that the appearance of your photo also looks like Clay, so I think you have the right identification.
