The Dick O'Connor image looks like the image in the facepack. Johnny O'Connor images look different to my eyes. Also, they are two different players, and I would be very surprised if Dick O'Connor was the major leaguer, since our only notes described the Chicago catcher as a Boston boy / local semi-pro. Since Dick had minor league experience and gone to spring training it seems with the Phillies in 1915, that likely would have garnered a mention in any 1916 accounts of the Cubs' one-gamer.
