Let’s play ball!

Another in a series of photos from Bertha Smith Athya’s photo collection. 

I love this photo but unfortunately, can’t identify either of the boys, who most likely lived in Armstrong or Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. It’s possible one, or both, are Bertha’s brothers—Howard Stanley Smith, Benjamin Gordon Smith, George Nelson Smith, or John Thompson Smith.

Could the one on the left be Howard, born in Apollo, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania in December 1890?

I feel like the boy on the right looks like George, born in Apollo in October 1885.

What do you think? Anyone care to weigh in? I’d love to hear from you.
