Here's what we have:

Top Row, L-R: Jim Gill, Tom Gettinger, Sam Hoverter
Middle Row, L-R: Pat Rollins, John Schweitzer, Joseph Devine (Mgr.), unidentified
Bottom Row, L-R:unidentified, Jake Drauby, John Briel, Jack Stivetts
Baseball-Reference lists Jake Drauby as 5' 10", 163 lbs. That is very similar to Frank Keffer. The unidentified player to the left of Drauby looks to be about the same size as Drauby, which suggests that this person is Keffer. Fred Carl would then be the unidentified person at the right end of the middle row.
