Here are possible IDs I found on on the web. Can anyone confirm any other players?

Top, L-R: unidentified, unidentified, Ed Mensor? (OF), unidentified, unidentified, unidentified, Bill McKechnie (IF), unidentified, unidentified, unidentified, unidentified, unidentified, Hank Robinson? (P), George Gibson (C), unidentified, unidentified.

Middle L-R: Tommy Leach (3B), Max Carey (LF), Alex McCarthy (2B), Bobby Byrne (3B), Babe Adams (P), Fred Clarke (Mgr.), Barney Dreyfuss (Owner), Sam Watters (Vice President/Treasurer), Honus Wagner (SS), Marty O'Toole (P), Claude Hendrix (P), Mike Simon (C).

Front, L-R: Chief Wilson (CF), Dots Miller (1B), Wally Rehg (OF), Ham Hyatt? (OF), Mike Donlin (RF), Jack Ferry (P), Jimmy Viox (IF), Solly Hofman (OF), unidentified, King Cole (P), unidentified.

Top row 4th from left may be Ovid Nicholson who played in 6 games for the Pirates that year. Top row last on right looks a lot like Butts Wagner who wasn't on the team but probably got a jacket due to family connections.

Good eye! I can see in newspaper accounts that Al "Butts" Wagner was in the Hot Springs camp in 1912.

Almost certain that's Butts. Nicholson I'm 60-40 on.

33 players invited to camp in 1912. (Pitt.Press.Mar.1912)
Good Luck
