I dug into Albert Latouche, and I haven't found much. I did however find a Paul LaTouche, who came from Richmond VA, and who played for a range of clubs from the early 1880s through 1890. He was born in 1858, and he died in 1929. A notice of his death was printed in the Richmond Times-Dispatch (Sep 25, 1929, pg. 13). There is a photo of him printed in the Times-Dispatch in 1914, where he is identified as the president of the Old Dominion League.

To my eye, he looks like the second player from the right in the back row, which is the player (incorrectly?) identified as John Deasley.

I'm finding very little on Albert LaTouche personally, except in references to the ball player. Everything I have found on Paul LaTouche has him playing in and around Richmond; I have yet to find an explicit reference to him playing outside of Richmond. Perhaps they are related?

Follow-up: I have found references the Paul LaTouche being in Richmond in the 1888-1890 time frame while a player known as LaTouche was playing elsewhere, so it looks like Albert and Paul are two separate people. Still haven't found clarity on 1886, but there is no reason to think it wasn't Albert. Still no info on who Albert was.
