Bottom Row (L-R): Reddy Mack, Joe Neale, Unknown.

The spring roster for the 1887 club was given in the Louisville Courier-Journal on April 3, 1887. All of the players you identified are listed, with the adition player as (Phil) Reccius, so that would suggest he is the unknown in the right front. I can believe that assignment.

BTW Nice job on the identifications.

Thank you for posting the spring roster; that's very helpful. I am doubtful, though, that the player on the bottom right is Phil Reccius.

Reccius / Bottom Right
