Jim A. McCormick (or Jim McCormick?)

The line drawing on B-R came from Bob Broeg's book
The St. Louis Cardinals Encyclopedia. I can't speak to the original image sourcing beyond that, but other line drawings in the book appeared to be representative of the named player.
That said, the line drawing bears a striking general resemblance to Jim McCormick (mccorji01) as shown in the 1879 Chicago White Stockings California Tour team photo.
Thanks for the confirmed newspaper image--I generally prefer photos to line drawings anyway.
