Could this be Amos Booth , there does appear to be a strong resemblance to the existing low quality facepack image?

The Seattle player is not Amos Booth. Amos was a Cincinnati police officer in 1887, while the Seattle Booth was still playing there.
Here is a clearer image of Amos Booth from his police portrait, originally taken ca. 1887-93 and used throughout his police career.
