There is an existing photo of the club with the players identified at Threads of Our Game ( https://www.threadsofourgame.com/). Both photos are shown below (unknown first), with the identification of the players in the second one numbered as they are at the bottom of the photo in the complete image.
This second one is thought to have been taken in May. All players in the photo were with the club at the start of the season. Also with the club in the spring were George Mappes (released May 6) and an outfielder named Howard, released in April. As neither are in the known photo, I would assume that photo was taken of the opening day roster.
Known photo:
1) H. Boyle; 2) A. Bauer; 3) J. Quinn; 4) F. Graves; 5) C. Sweeney; 6) E. Healy; 7) J. Denny; 8) F. Dunlap; 9) E. Seery; 10) G. Myers; 11) T. Dolan; 12) J. Cahill; 13) J. Glasscock; 14) J. Kirby; 15) A. McKinnon
Manager: G. Schmelz (in the center, un-numbered) |
The page on Threads of Our Game now includes IDs for the players (and manager) in the newly-found photo, as follows:
Top row, from left: J Cahill, J Denny, J Kirby, T Dolan, and J Quinn. Middle row of five: J Glasscock, F Graves, A McKinnon, E Seery, and G Myers. Front row of four: E Healy, F Dunlap, G Schmelz, and H Boyle. IDs from Carson Lorey.
