Reviewing previous posts on this website about Joe Straub, I see that the player identified at Straub is known to be Ed Silch. That leaves the player identified as Silch now unidentified. I also haven't found any evidence that Lauser (identified as Lanser in the caption) was on the club at the same time as Dugdale (identified as Dugan in the caption). Given that Lauser was a catcher, same as Dugdale, I could see where Lauser would have been released as soon as Dugdale was signed. Finally, a review of the boxscores from the Denver club in August and September reveal that Phillips certainly was on the club at that point, so he is most likely in the photo, as noted above.
Manager Wallace was manager of the Denver club on June 9th, and by June 22 was manager of the Topeka club. He is not going to be in the team photo. Rather, Manager McClintock is likely next to Pres. Higgins. I see McClintock's first name is given as Robert on Baseball-Reference, but I'm seeing William McClintock identified in Colorado papers as going to a meeting of the Western League clubs representing Denver after the season ended.
