The Dougherty photo is correct - it's from the 1886 Altoona team photo - which the correct Dougherty played for.
I discovered that the bio details for Dougherty were incorrect - there were two minor leaguers named Charlie Dougherty playing at the same time - one from Philadelphia and one from Wisconsin.
The Philly Dougherty is the correct guy and played for Union Association Altoonas in 1884 and with the minor league Altoonas in 1886 (where he is in the team photo).
