Default Indianapolis ABCs ID

Recently picked up this photo and I'm fairly certain it depicts Indianapolis ABC players between 1921-1923. Handwriting on reverse notes "Crush" and the seller thought it might have originated from the estate of Crush Holloway. The jersey's match the ABCs from the time period and the grandstand (and the building in the background) matches their home Washington Park during the era. My main question is regarding the black arm bands. I assume the arm bands date the image to 1922 with the death of CI Taylor in Feb of that year, but I'm not completely certain they only wore the bands in that season. If the image is definitively 1922 then there is a chance the catcher depicted might be Biz Mackey. Any opinions are welcome and thanks!
