The photographer is Zeph Magill. He shows up in the Troy Street Directory from 1890 to 1893 identified as a photographer. By 1894 he is no longer listed under Photographer in the business guide, but he is listed up through 1897.
Devlin is likely the player in the back row, second from the left. Breckenridge would be the tallest player, who stood well over 6ft.
