PS I just found a great in depth SABR article on Storke that implies he was with Harvard getting his law degree in early 1910 and working out in Harvard's batting cages so not sure he was ever with the Reds team for a photo.

Sporting Life reports on the Reds in spring training in 1910 seem to indicate that Storke never joined the team that spring before his early death. I now agree with BMarlowe that it is not Storke, and it certainly looks like Jimmy Doyle (compared to a photo of him from the Chicago Daily News archive), though I have no idea why he would have had a Cardinals' sweater:
