Thanks for the research on the Council Bluffs team. I had never seen that photo before and they sure had a lot of talent on that roster.

As to 1886 Oshkosh, Chickazoola did a lot of research on Gallagher and found that he was described to be a "diminutive and small" player. He likes the player front row center as the most likely candidate.

I like the player back from far right for Hallstrom. He matches the profile picture as well as the 1893 Chicago Whitings sketch the best to my eyes.

The sketch of Ingraham is in one of the old editions of Sporting Life but I couldn't tell you which one off the top of my head.
