1911 Washington Nationals

I have made my first attempt at identifying the players in the photo, listed below. I believe that Dixie Walker and Tom Hughes are not in it. Walker had been injured in his previous start, and was probably not in uniform for the games in New York. Hughes was scheduled to pitch the first game in Philadelphia after leaving New York, and may have also chosen not to dress for the last game at Hilltop Park. John Somerlott joined the Nationals later in the month, but there is no evidence he was with the team in New York**. I have attached an image of him below. That left me with 18 players to fill 19 spots. I cannot find a good match for the short man at the far left of the top row. The players who were with the team late in spring training and then cut are all accounted for (they were not in New York, as far as I can tell). All of the players not in sweaters played in the game on April 24th. Here are my IDs:

Top Row: Conroy***, Sherry, Gessler***, Cunningham, Lelivelt, Groom, Somerlott**, Johnson, Hughes*, Street, Otey, McBride.
Bottom Row: Schaefer, Milan, Conway, Miller, Ainsmith, Elberfeld, Henry.

Having just posted this, I see we have a number of differences. Miller was the only lefthander in the lineup on the 24th, and Milan was right-handed, so I think Miller is a better match for the player fourth from the left in the bottom row. Conway was 5'11", taller than the player on the far left of the top row. (UKBaseballFan has updated his IDs since I wrote this.)

*I have replaced Gessler with Hughes, after further discussion with UKBaseballFan. I am doubtful that Gessler is the player on the far left of the top row.

**I have determined that Somerlott was with the team in New York, and have now placed him in the picture.

***My confidence in these IDs is lower than for most of the others.
