All of the players were identified as on the club in the Louisville Courier-Journal in April.

(I think there is some distortion in the scan, as some of the players' heads seem too wide. There are zoomed in scans in the thread on net54baseball.)

The photos posted there also include one of the Hamilton Clippers of 1885 and the Crandall club (of Buffalo, NY) of 1889.

Identifications courtesy of RUKen:
Top Row (L-R): Amos Cross, Jimmy "Chicken" Wolf, Paul Cook, John Kerins, Lave Cross, Hub Collins, Elton Chamberlain.
Middle Row (L-R): Pete Browning, William Veach, Guy Hecker, John Kelly, Tom "Toad" Ramsey, Bill White, Joe Werrick.
Bottom Row (L-R): Reddy Mack, Joe Neale, Phil Reccius.

Is there any possibility that Joe Strauss, could be in the image, third from left, and Hecker re-positioned?

Any explanation for the caps shown in the image as they do not appear to match the uniform caps previously documented?
