Possibly this is a composite of either the 1869 or 1870 Washington Olympics. The player in the centre is suggested to be a future leading baseball executive :- Nick Young.
A box score from an Olympics game from 1869 reveals the following lineup :- 1. Force 3b, 2. Reach ss, 3. Malone c, 4. Young rf, 5. Leach p, 6. Robinson lf, 7. Miller 1b, 8. Hurley 2b, 9. Emmett cf

My guesses on the identities: Davy Force, Bob Reach, Fergy Malone, Nick Young, Leach?, Val Robinson, Joe Miller (maybe?), Dick Hurley, and Emmett?
I THINK YOU MAY HAVE JUST FOUND A PIC OF THE LONG-MISSING PLAYER VAL ROBINSON!!!
