There is a paragraph that directly relates to this photograph...Also, the article identifies the umpire pictured at left as Daniels. That would be Charles Daniels. Daniels was originally hired when the National League was formed in 1876 and he remained a NL umpire until 1889. He is credited with discovering Connie Mack, and he called the first no-hitter in major league history (as well as a perfect game). This is the only image of Daniels that I have ever seen.

Great item and nice supporting info! Very cool pickup, Jay!
