In contrast, Dunn played consistently for the Giants from 1902-04, without objection or scandal.
That said, I don't have an explanation for the absence of either.

Thank you both for explaining the absence of both Davis and Dunn from the team photo.
The cap that the players are wearing along with the proliferation of images on the Chicago Daily News site of Giants players wearing the same cap, e.g. Browne, Bresnahan, dated 1903, suggests that the 1903 Giants uniform on the Hall Of Fame database may require amending as it shows the caps for both the home and away uniform being dark.
