The best fit seems to be Marty Callaghan.
Agreed

Agreed again.

Great work, Dto7 and Cusick. I don't have a lot of time to dig in right now but based on the 1923 date we can determine that the player in image #2 is likely Cubs third baseman Bernie Friberg. A cursory exam of comparables at least generally supports that assumption. The left-handed thrower with the narrow nose in image #3 may well be Howard Fitzgerald. I'm afraid that, for the time being, I don't have time to do a more in-depth analysis on that image or the fourth photo.
