I've been working on Lawlor for awhile and finally tracked him down. He was pictured in the 1888 Houston team composite and was listed under the name "M.H. Lawler." The Houston Post on 3/25/1888 finally convinced me this was the same player as they commented that "Lawler was snowbound at Troy, NY but will arrive today." Lawlor lived his whole life in Troy, N.Y. and played catcher as he did early on with the Houston club.
