I have never seen a key to all the players in that photo you posted, but a call or email to the Babe Ruth Birthplace & Museum in Baltimore should get you an answer if one exists. I'm not sure who their curator is now, but he would be the one to ask.

Unfortunately the school burned down down the 1920's s much of their archive, if they even kept one, was probably lost.

I believe you can locate some St. Mary's box scores in the Baltimore Sun and other newspaper archives at the library or in one of the online pay databases. The school played other schools and athletic clubs in Ruth's day and some of these were reported in the sports pages. A historian by the name of Scott Simkus did an article about 10 years ago for the Outsider Baseball Bulletin referencing contemporary St. Mary's box scores.

If you do manage to locate a key to the players, please post it, I for one would be interested...
