Duffy was the player/manager of that team - doesn't make sense he would not be in the team photo.

Now compare your photos to the 1906 Fan Craze photo of Duffy and tell me they look exactly the same - they don't. People gain and loose weight - even his hair style is different in every photo. I believe your first photo is from 1894
The photo in my first post is from 1901, from the Chicago Daily News collection. I had not compared the hair, or the weight--I wrote that the eyes, eyebrows, and ears (at least the left ear) did not match. Sometimes people miss team photos. If you have IDs for other players, that would be helpful to confirm the 1908 date. In my opinion, the player in the middle is not a match for Hugh Duffy, whose face is quite distinctive.

I do not think that is Duffy either. Not even close in my opinion.

Here is one more image of Duffy, from 1910, looking nearly straight at the camera. It's clearly not him in the Providence photo; I'm wondering if this is some other Providence team, not the Providence (Rhode Island) Grays.
