Louis J Galvin 1884 b April 1862 Minn.policeman married 1885 .Moved to Chicago according to St Paul CD 1908 but he was not in the Chicago CD. Said to have died 1933. Where? James Gillespie 1890 Don't know where the first name comes from but I am working on it. Public Ledger Philadelphia 10 2 90 Buffalo - Beecher was injured in a slide, and a local amateur took his place". In the boxscores it was Gillispie or Gillespie. There was a John W L Gillespie who played second base for the Buffalo Athletic Club, He appeared in a game 2 weeks before the October 1 1890 game. He was the owner of the Hotel Gillespie until 1897 when he disapears from the Buffalo City Directory and in 1898 there was a Mrs Kate Gillespie for only that year. In a game in 1890 the single men vs the married men, John W L Gillespie was second base man for the married men. It is likely that this is our guy.

Haley, 1880 Longtime Chicago semipro. 6/23/80 Chicago Daily Tribune The visitors
had secured Haley of the Dreadnoughts of this city as the catcher for
this occasion. Also with Chicago Eckfords. Who is Frederick Haley? Leo J Harrison 1901 Leo Joseph Harrison b Feb 6, 1881 New York, NY died July 14, 1962 Bronx, NY. But it is not known if he is the Harrison who played 1 game with Washington Senators. No evidence that the minor leaguer was the 1 game Washington player. John J Hayes 1882 b June 27, 1858 Brooklyn, NY
Peter Morris found a note in the SN 6 6 91 that Jack Hayes has reported a month late to catch for Spokane because a sister has died and his mother had been very ill there.Chicago, Ill. He also found Chicago Tribune, 6/3/77: "John Hayes, the left-fielder of the Chelsea Club
of Brooklyn has just graduated from the Columbia Law School." This guy would be too young to be the 1882 guy. Maybe this is where the confusion comes in. There could have been 2 Jack Hayes, one a lawyer and ball player and the other the major leaguer who was working at more menial jobs. In 1888 Jack Hayes, the old Brooklyn Catcher was with Scranton
Higby, 1872
There was a J and an R Higby playing in Brooklyn. Mostly spelled Higbie
George S Hodson 1894
According to 1900 census he was born June 1870 Pa. He was in the 1920 Census in San Rafael, Cal running a grocery. DND California.Grew up around Phildelphia.
.Frank J Hoffman 1888
Started out in New Orleans,La in 1886 then Houston, then Denver then Sacramento Cal. Last known playing 1894 in Northern California
Jesse H Hoffmeister 1897
In reality his last name was spelled Hoffmaster. He was first found living in Toledo, Ohio around 1895 and his profession was as a lather. He wintered in Kansas City, Mo and was listed as a ball player in 1900, 1902 and 1905 and as a lather in 1907. It is possible that he died around then, because he leaves the KC CD.Jessie Hoffmaster ball player lodging at 619 Walnut St, Kansas City, Mo born June 1872 Mo parents born Mo single. 1900 census
Robert Edward Hogan 1882
born April 1860 St Louis, Mo. Last living 1916 St Louis with rest of big family but DND Missouri.
Charles E Hoover 1888
Charles E Hoover born 9 65 Ill accd to 1900 census. State Penn, Jefferson City,Mo From Bill Carle. I've done lots of work on Charlie Hoover. He was the son of Daniel and Eliza Hoover. Daniel died 08/06/1911 in Quincy, Illinois. His obituary didn't mention Charlie, but it did mention Charlie's 2 sisters, Julia Nettie Hafner, who married Hoover's teammate, Frank Hafner, and Mrs. W. L. Loudy of San Francisco. Nettie Hafner died 08/26/1959 in Hannibal, Missouri. Charlie's mother, Elizabeth, died 03/28/1896 in Hannibal. Obituary didn't mention survivors. Another sister, Bertie, died 10/01/1893 at age 19. Yet another sister, Susan, died 04/15/1881 in Hannibal. Charlie was convicted in 1898 of forgery and sentenced to 5 years in prison. He and Charles Ayers forged a check on the Stillwell Packing Company. He entered prison on 01/31/1899 and his sentence was commuted by Governor Dockery and he was released from prison on 05/03/1902. His prison record mentioned that he had a tattoo of a baseball player and that he had "broken and gnarled fingers." (He was a catcher, you know.) After he was released, I have no clue where he went. He apparently didn't go back to Hannibal as I could not find him in a city directory. He was a bricklayer by trade so one would suspect he would be doing that if he stayed on the straight and narrow. His father's obituary would tend to imply that Charlie had died, but we can't assume that. I'm stuck at this point.
