3. Mrs. John Zipprich
4. Mrs. William Zipprich
5. Mr. William Zipprich
6. Carl Krus
7. Baseball Player from Springfield Massachusetts by Photographer George H. Van Norman who was active in Springfield between 1890 – 1901. My guess is this is Thomas Everett Burns. The Ponies started their team in 1893. With that information, this looks to be a manager of the Springfield Ponies. Maybe  one of the following managers.
8. Tom Burns active manager from 1893 – 1897. He also played for the Chicago White Stockings in 1880 – 1891 and Manager of Chicago Orphans from 1898 – 1899 which a great deal of sitters in album are from.
9. Billy Lush and Billy Barnie managers in 1898
10. Tom Brown manager in 1899
11. Tom Burns again manager in 1900 and there was no team in 1901. This cabinet photo has the look of a 1900 cabinet. I would say this was taken then while he was manager for that year. He died at 44 years old in Jersey City NJ in 1902 while he was there interviewing to be the manager of an Eastern League team.
