The team mascot, Sam Eckles, Jr., is the boy at the center. Directly behind him is a man with a icon of a beer keg on his shirt, the empire (either Dell Potter or Harry Whitehill). According to the Enterprise account, ""The fancifully dressed umpire wore a big revolver. His decisions were not disputed."" The man near him, wearing the top hat, is drum major Alf Fritsch. E. L. Gulden is on the far right, dressed as a Dutch peasant, complete with wooden shoes. Gulden's job was to dispense beer to those players who reached third base. The dog is unidentified.
