As best I can tell from boxscores, Cady played a single game with the club, on June 1, 1884. Walker's first appearance was June 6, and Yott's last game was June 18. Cady couldn't be in the photo.
I couldn't find a player with anything like Cain in the name, except for McElwain, who didn't show up until late August.
I couldn't find exact dates for Walker's signing and Yott's release, but there is a roughly two week or so overlap between the two when this photo could have been taken, if they are both in it.
Isaacson, Murray, Reid, Nichols, Caruthers and Casey were with the club all season long.
Bob Parker's first game was on May 13. He was a graduate of Brown University, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. He was gone at the end of June.
Update: I found a second note on Parker that said he graduated from Dartmouth in 1882 and was studying law in Chicago. He was released July 6.
George Fisher started the season with the club, and his last box score was about the same time as Yott.
The other players with multiple appearances in June were Bart Grether and George Mundinger. Maybe James Donnelly was still with the club, even though the last boxscore I found was June 1? And Wyman Andrus started with the club on June 16, so maybe there was enough overlap with Yott for him to be the final player?
Where do the IDs available come from?
