Thanks Jay, that fellow is Dan Tobey...Not sure who the other fellow is, but I'm guessing he is the trainer for the team.
Jeffrey Powers-Beck has a new book coming out next week about the Nebraska Indians and I'm hopeful there is a lot of info in there that I don't already have...I'm intrigued as there is a book or article mentioned "Experiences with an Indian Ball Team" (1908) that I've never heard of.

Product Description
This is the first book that includes all of Guy W. Green's baseball writings: "A Complete History of the Nebraska Indians Base Ball Team" (1903), "Fun and Frolic with an Indian Ball Team" (1904), and "Experiences with an Indian Ball Team" (1908). The works detail the athletic success and humorous escapades of the most famous American Indian barnstorming baseball team. A substantial introduction provides historical background on the formation of the team; on Green's life, writings, and other ventures; and on the later history and owners of the Nebraska Indians after Green sold the team.
