In the right photo, McGinnity is shown with the Chronicle-Telegraph Cup that was awarded to the Superbas after their post-season, three-games-to-one victory over the second-place Pirates in a series sponsored by the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph newspaper and played entirely in Pittsburg. McGinnity pitched two of the three Brooklyn victories and allowed just three unearned runs.

The center picture was published twice in the Brooklyn Eagle with the player identified as Willie Keeler; however, Keeler was left-handed, and I am fairly certain that this is Sheckard.

1903 (or 1904) Brooklyn Superbas team photo

1903 NL Brooklyn 2.jpg

An original print of this was sold at auction a few years ago, labeled as the 1902 Brooklyn Superbas. The auction description included a discussion of the difficulty of determining which player is Willie Keeler, and concluded that he was fourth from the right in the back row, even though "the face looks a little wide for Keeler". The correct conclusion is that Keeler isn't in the picture, and the reason is that he had left the team to join the New York Highlanders of the American League. The player in the middle of the back row is one of the most recognizable players of that era, Dirty Jack Doyle, who joined Brooklyn for the 1903 season and remained with them until April 30, 1904. I don't think that Harry Lumley, who was a rookie in 1904, is in the photo, thus I am guessing 1903, but Lumley could be the third player from the right in the back, which would date this as a spring 1904 photo.
