Cool find!

I've got a similar problem with this caption as I had with the caption for this photo published in the book on the history of the Western League: How do you track the caption to the players are listed in the photo?

Comparing the caption to how I've numbered the players in the photo, 1) O'Neil 2) McAndries 3) Ryan are clear. 13) O'Brien and 14) Tebeau are also clear. 4) Straub fits with other examples of Straub. Is Mountjoy 5) in the suit, with McClintock 6) next to him in the suit? (The book suggests the second person in the suit is the club president, George Higgins.) I can see the comparison between Player 5 and Mountjoy.

10) is unambiguously Phillips, while 8) matches Meinke from the sketch.

I'm not sure how the others match up.
