Thanks for pointing out that I was confused in nominating 2 players for the same placement. I agree with Camnitz second from left top row. Suggest Keliher as the bottom row extreme right. By a process of elimination that would leave Irving as the player third from right in the bottom row.
Attached is the exemplar I have been using for Ona Dodd

That is a much better image of Dodd than the one I had found in the newspaper.
I think that Keliher is a better match for the player in the top row, fourth from the left. In addition to the facial features matching (as well as can be determined, given the graininess of the images), he is wearing the same hat in both pictures. The newspaper photo that I am using was published on March 10th, 1912, and Keliher wore the same hat as the others, light-colored with a dark brim, the style worn by the Pirates in the early 1910s. The photo that we are IDing is dated March 22nd. Why would Keliher have worn another team's cap on the 22nd, if he already had a Pirates' cap two weeks earlier?
Dodd's face is a good match for the player in the bottom row, far right. He has the same distinctive jawline, nose, and ears, and he seems to have a high hairline. Not only that, but in the exemplar you've provided, he is wearing the same baseball cap, dark colored with white piping.
Keliher / top row 4th left / bottom row far right / Dodd
