Hi Val,

Yes I do believe that is the Famous Allen Potts that the written name on the OPs photo is referring to.

I believe Burthe is Andre Burthe
Clarence T Peed
Edwin L Gibson
Allen Potts

See attached photo for the 1890 team - "E Gibson" is listed, perhaps the photo match people can identify Gibson in both photos?

Here is a link to the The Virginia Spectator: You will see starting on page 559 it is dated May-June 1889. All of the names that I can read on the OPs pictures are listed on the Roster for the 1889 Virginia baseball team. But, perhaps I should recant my initial comment as I guess the OPs picture could represent some team put together during summer recess.
