Another one from historycolorado.org, the player identities are supposedly as follows: Back row, from left: J.W.D. Stovell (first base), Austin (outfield), W. R. Tornell (outfield), Bill Rockwell (pitcher), Ed Kent (pitcher). Front row, from left: Jack Macklin (outfield), J. E. McIntyne (shortstop), Bill Traffley (listed simply as 'center' on the site but I think it's supposed to say catcher because its the only position not listed here and he was primarily a catcher), Frank Newman (second base), Donnelley (third base).

In case you're wondering why not all the images from that site are on here, it's because some of them were posted onto other threads on here if they were a minor league team or something, and the one with the women's team is posted on the female players thread.
