Looking for ID help on the players on this baseball RPPC.....

#21 "could" be Alan Storke as I found this NY Times article:

This shows that Storke died in 1910 and was with St Louis the previous year (the player in the #21 slot (2nd in from left in front row) is wearing a St Louis sweater) and the article says that Storke was signed by the Reds after 1909.

Jim Doyle was a Rookie with the Reds in 1910 so not sure why he would be wearing a St Louis sweater? Thoughts?

Thanks! Mike

PS I just found a great in depth SABR article on Storke that implies he was with Harvard getting his law degree in early 1910 and working out in Harvard's batting cages so not sure he was ever with the Reds team for a photo.

Sporting Life reports on the Reds in spring training in 1910 seem to indicate that Storke never joined the team that spring before his early death. I now agree with BMarlowe that it is not Storke, and it certainly looks like Jimmy Doyle (compared to a photo of him from the Chicago Daily News archive), though I have no idea why he would have had a Cardinals' sweater:

Mike - it can't be Alan Storke. Below center is the face in question from the "hats on" version of the OP's photo (from Library of Congress). Storke is at left (from SABR archives) - the ears do not match so the face in question can't be Storke.

At right is Jimmy Doyle with the Cubs in 1911. The face in question is Doyle (whatever you are looking at, don't forget the ears). Also compare the hairlines in the side-by-side posted just above by RUKen.
