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

Thanks John - great stuff. I'm certain that's McBride, and also that Gibson is NOT in the pic (watch me be wrong!). I had Robataille pencilled in as #6 and Bull Smith as #5, so what you're saying gives me more confidence in those two guesses. Back to google....
