In the second set, the upper tier (left to right) are James L. Clinton, manager; Theodore J. Scheffer, center field; John J. "Handsome Jack" Carney, first base; William F. KLusman, second base; and William Irwin, pitcher. In the lower tier are John J. "Chief" Kelly, left fielder; David Coughlin, right fielder; Owen "Spider" Clark, catcher; E.J. Doyle, fielder; and E.W. Ellis, pitcher.
