Jack Hoey is my great grandfather. Our family always thought he was the 4th from left. He was known to be very close friends with Cy Young standing next to him.

From left to right -
1) Player is identified as "Railing", but there is no player named Railing in BR. I think he bears a resemblance to Sox player Jack Hoey, pictured at the bottom right below. Thoughts?
2) Identified as Killian, but there is no player in Sox history with that name. There was a Tiger pitcher named Ed Killian at that time, and there is a resemblance, and the Tigers were wearing black pants at the time. BUT - Killian was 5' 11", which would put him 2 inches taller than #3, who is Ralph Glaze, who checked in at 5'9". I think (Hope?) #2 might be Tex Pruiett - he had a cleft chin and was an inch shorter than Glaze (image of Pruiett below between the larger image and Hoey) .
3) Ralph Glaze
4) Unidentified - any assistance would be appreciated.
5) 'Nuf Ced McGreevey
6) Cy Young
7) Rube Kroh

Thanks for any assistance![/QUOTE]
