I looked at the three late-December 1887 issues of the British Sporting Times. There does not seem to be an image that would match the Indianapolis News claim.
The
SABR bio for 1890 Brooklyn Gladiators manager Jim Kennedy mentions that Kennedy and P.J. Donahue started a New York-based weekly sports paper titled The Sporting Times in March 1887, which is a more likely source. I have not yet found an online repository for the NY Sporting Times.
