March 1914 Pittsburgh Pirates at Dawson Springs
Konetchy is in the middle of the front row. This must be a 1914 image.
My IDs (after much back and forth with UKBaseballfan):
Back row (L-R)
1) Fred Clarke 2) Barney Duffy 3) Toby Fullerton 4) Sam Brenegan 5) George McQuillan 6) Marty O'Toole 7) Mike Mitchell 8) Ollie McArthur 9) Babe Adams 10) Bob Coleman 11) Jim Kelly 12) Joe Conzelman 13) Lloyd Wait 14) Al Mamaux 15) Honus Wagner 16) Erv Kantlehner 17) Frank Kafora 18) George Gibson
Front row (L-R)
1) Douglas Baird 2) Bob Harmon 3) Gil Britton 4) Ham Hyatt 5) Al "Butts" Wagner 6) George Watson 7) Ed Mensor 8) Max Carey 9) Ed Konetchy 10) Flame Delhi 11) Wilbur Cooper 12) Johnny Daley 13) Mike Mowrey 14) Joe Leonard 15) Alex McCarthy 16) Joe Kelly 17) Jimmie Viox
Coach Chick Fraser was also in camp with the team. Pitcher Bernie Doyle joined them later, in Hot Springs.
I differ from UKBaseballfan's ID assignments only for the older-looking man in the front row, fifth from the left. I believe him to be Al Wagner (brother of Honus), whereas UKB has identified him as Chick Fraser. Both Wagner and Fraser were coaches for the team during spring training that year.
This photo was turned into a colorized postcard back in the 1910s. I've attached a copy below. Note that the colorizer chose to put foliage on the trees on the left, when there was no foliage during the team's visit in March.
