Owen Williams was with Davenport in 1888, and there is a cabinet photo of him probably posted earlier in this thread. Pete Sommers had cards in Old Judge from 1888. I'll post one in a moment. Last night when I looked, it seemed like he could be the person at the far right.

Thanks for the substantial information, could you clarify which McVey is which as there are 2 McVey's listed on the roster and in your spreadsheet extraction.
Craig Brown's site details the uniform types and links it with individual players who were with the team at the start of the season, the information is dated from the Sporting Life edition of April 18th. It can be used as verification for some of the information you provided. There does appear to be one new name, Kelly in the extraction but only one Handiboe. I believe the manager Arnold's first name is Frank and that he apparently umpired 1 game in the American Association in 1889.
