Default Heritage auction lot 13083 - claimed to depict Frank Bancroft

Heritage lot 13083 is a photo of what is clearly a town team, with the following description:
1880's Frank Bancroft & His Team Cabinet Photograph. Now we know where Connie Mack got his fashion sense! A thrilling find for that devoted contingent of 19th century baseball collectors, this never before seen sepia image of the first great Hall of Fame baseball manager...Bancroft...

So, I have been unable to find Frank Bancroft listed in the Hall of Fame - if I am missing something here please tell me. And then, the man in question (below far left) is not Frank Bancroft (exemplar right). Just look at the ears.
