I believe the second photo very closely resembles the first photo of Charles Moran when he played for the Washington Senators in 1903-04. The third photo I included, which I also got from Getty, is Jim Buchanan who only played only one year 1905 for the STL Browns. He is wearing the same team jacket and hat as the player in the second photo which is another reason why I believe the player in he second photo is Charles Moran and not Charlie Moran. Hope this makes some sense. What does the group think?

Jim Buchanan is the player facing to our left with all of his buttons buttoned. Charles Moran is oriented to our right, but facing the camera, with one top button unbuttoned. I've attached below a group photo from Sporting Life that includes both players.
