If you're sure the one player is McBride, then he was with the team until July 4th. So other players that could be in this pic include:
George Gibson(not likely, only 3 days separate his debut and McBride leaving)
Frank Moore(good luck finding a pic of him)
Chick Robitaille(likely in the pic)
Charlie Case, who I think is unk. 1
Harry Smith, who rarely played but was more like a bullpen catcher that couldn't stay healthy
Bill Clancy is there somewhere
The picture could be a late pre-season shot and the team cut three pitchers late that year in Spring Training, Vive Lindaman, Clyde Goodwin and a big young lefty pitcher named Holmes...it was Clarence Holmes, found some later notes, played two years for Cedar Rapids, hurt his arm, never pitched again

Please check out my books on baseball history. They include the bio of star second baseman Dots Miller. A book featuring 20 Moonlight Graham players who got into just one game. Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.
