I think the consensus was that it was a family reunion photo with a pickup baseball game. There was another similar photo with a dead guy in his casket cropped into a team photo (If I remember correctly). These were shown probably ten years ago now...

I believe this "Score-card," which shows the results of the NL games played on August 16, 1889, would have been posted on the following day in the store of Geo. W. Cochran & Co., tobacconist, which was located at 1115 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W., Washington DC. Cochran started his business 1847, and by the 1880's, was the largest such establishment south of Baltimore. S. Ottenberg & Bros. operated a large cigar factory (factory no. 1065) in lower Manhattan, NYC.

You will note that John Clarkson of Boston, who led the NL in most categories, including wins and shutouts, in 1889, hurled a 2-hit shutout over Cleveland. And, both Connie Mack (Washington) and Buck Ewing (NY) caught losing efforts that day.

No Troy scorecards, but I have this one thanks to a board member. It, too, is from 1871 the first year of the National Association and features the Washington Olympics and the Boston Red Stockings.
I wish I knew how to make the scan bigger.

Here's a sweet "mini" National League scorecard (approximately 4"x6" inches). Great that this little gem survived!

In 1884, Washington was an expansion team in the American Association. But, the team fared poorly and folded after its August 2nd home loss to the NY Metropolitans, who got 3 runs in the 9th to win by a score of 6 - 5. Here's Washington's game schedule for 1884 along with a scored scorecard for Washington's final game. What I find to be especially interesting is that the original owner of these items hand noted the disbanding of the team on both of them:
