Foster Blackburn (who for reasons I have yet to figure out is identified as Charlie Blackburn) was a freshman pitcher with the University of Chicago squad in 1914, the year before he pitched for the Kansas City Federal League club in 1915. He is included in the 1914 Freshman Club team photo from the U. of C. 1915 Yearbook Cap and Gown (Vol. 20), available online in the U of C archives. He is in the upper right corner.

I think this is from just months or even weeks before his death but I could be wrong

Baseball History Daily included this photo labelled as Willie Sudhoff with the amateur Ben Winklers club in 1895.

I have located an additional image of Merrill, as pictured with the 1882 Council Bluffs, Iowa baseball team. The team photo caption mentions his name as "Bob Merrill" but the 11/28/1882 edition of the Fort Wayne Daily News clearly indicates this is the major league player.
