Is this the 1889 Columbus Solons?

[Bumpus Jones]

Can anyone help identify any of the these folks? I'm trying to determine if its the 1889 team.

Chris -

What you have there is the 1888 Cleveland Blues team.

Mark,
I agree on most but I think that is Hotaling second from the left front row.

3rd from left front row is Billy Crowell, and I think the guy you id'd as Hotaling may be Doc Oberlander.
