I think that Mosse Solters may actually be second from the left in the fourth row and the third from right in the second row may be Jewel Ens.

I wonder why Bob Feller or Johnny Allen aren't in the photo.

The player you have as Moose Solters is wearing glasses and I haven't seen a photo of Moose with glasses.

I can't find that Jewel Ens was with the Indians in 1939, I know he managed the Indianapolis Indians in 1940.

But thanks for the reply.
