Well, I'm not sure exactly when Grandpa Harry was born, but setting this team in the 1890s is right, but it would probably be the later half of the 1890s. I know he was paid to play, which would put it for sure after 1892. His family was from Cincinnati, and they owned the newspapers there. He was dis-inherited because he wanted to play football for a living instead of going to college or working for the newspapers. I know the photo on the bottom was taken in Jewell, Kansas, and all three guys are in the team photo, and I know Harry lived in Kansas for a while. So I am guessing that this was an athletic club team from Kansas around 1895-99. But I can't find any reference guide that lists Harry McClain (any spelling variation), Harve Kramer, or Bert Cluster from that time period. Anyway, thanks for thinking about it. I knew it would be hard to place, like a needle in a haystack for these semi-pro teams that didn't always keep great records.
