Hulswitt is an inch shorter than Flood and Cross at 5'8" listing. My leaning is to place Flood as T8, Hulswitt T10 and Cross B3.

Hulswitt had never played for a Cleveland team before, so it seems very unlikely to me that he would have been working out in a Cleveland uniform before they had been distributed to the whole team. I think that if it is not Hulswitt top row, third from the right, then it could be one of the players in camp of whom we have no images (Hart/Stupka/Sump). We can't resolve that unless we find photos of each.
