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 (ID added by prewinter; RUKen left this as unknown).

I am confident that Bill White is located on the ground right not in the middle row. If Reccius is in the image then it opens up the placement second from right in the middle row.
Attachments show the player located bottom row, right and images of Bill EWhite from 85 and 86.
