The correct ID's are as follows:
Back row:
Hod Eller, Mike Regan, Edd Roush, Hal Chase, Dave Shean, Pete Schneider, Ivey Wingo, Elmer Knetzer, Roy G. Sanders

Middle Row:
Emil Huhn, Fred Toney, Greasy Neale, Tomas Romanach, Tommy Griffith, Jimmy Ring, Eddie Gerner

Front Row:
Nick Allen, Clarence Mitchell, Manuel Cueto, Christy Mathweson, Larry Kopf, Heinie Groh, Tommy Clarke

About 5 years ago I did the ID's for a descendant of Roy G. Sanders. I couldn't figure out the guy dead center. One name in a March 1917 issue of TSN listing players present at Red's spring training was "Romanach" - but I could find no minor or major league record for that name - so I couldn't find his face for comparison. A year or so later I found the same face as the unknown Red depicted in a photo of Tomas Romanach in "Smoke - The Romance and Lore of Cuban Baseball." He was a Cuban of non-Spanish European descent who apparently appeared in some Negro League games.
