Top Row: Harley Young, Lefty Leifield, Vic Willis, Warren Gill
Middle Row: Beals Becker, Royal "Hunky" Shaw, Ed Phelps, Ed Abbaticchio, Deacon Phillippe, Paddy O'Connor, Dal Alderman, Fred Clarke
Bottom Row: Tommy Leach, Danny Moeller, Caleb Shriver*, Cecil Neighbors, Howie Camnitz, Nick Maddox, Harry Swacina, Jim Kane, Harry "Buzz" Wetzel
*Shriver was sometimes referred to as "Pop" Shriver in the newspaper accounts, but he was not the same player as the former major leaguer known by that name.
