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

Yes on Austin, no on Vaughn.

Ball, Knight, Austin, Gardner all good.

I think the guy second from the right is Jack Warhop.......

I also wonder if the guy who everybody thinks is Jack Knight is really Joe Doyle.....

Third from L maybe Joe Lake?

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.

I believe that third from the left is Frank LaPorte.

The guy to Jack Knight's left is Joe Ward:

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........

Left to right it’s:

Neal Ball
Earl Gardner
?
John Knight
Joe Ward
Jimmy Austin

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?
