Default Need help identifying 1908-09 NYA

Recently picked up this photo, I have an idea through my research who these players are but would like to get some help from board members to make sure I'm right ???
The photo was alleged to be taken at spring training before the 1909 season. The photo shows players in a 1908 uniform........

I think they are;
Neal Ball, Earl Gardner, •Hippo Vaughn, Joe Doyle (Jack Knight), Jack Warhop, **Jim Austin

* Hippo Vaughn played in 1908 but not in 1909.
** Jim Austin played in 1909 but not in 1908

Sorry, no. Joe Doyle listed at 5'8", Jack Knight was 6' tall. Same reason why the guy third from left is not Hippo Vaughn, who was a big man, listed at 6'4" and 215 lbs.

Neal Ball, Earl Gardner, Joe Ward, John Knight, Jack Warhop, Jim Austin
1909 Spring Training ( three players wearing 1908 uniforms)
Possible Spooner & Wells Photo

After talking to many collectors, this is what I've come to believe who these players are, when and who photographed them........

Default highlander ID

I bought about 50 of these Highlander photos by Spooner & Wells last year. This is the correct identification from left to right:
Ball, Earl Gardner, Mike Donovan,Schoolboy Knight, Joe Ward and Austin. You can take Donovan and Ward, the hard to ID guys, to the bank....
Great photo!

Are we sure the last player is in-fact Mike Donovan? Could it be Queenie O’Rourke?
