Essendon Baseball Club before the war

The pre-war Essendon Baseball Club, circa 1914.  In the front row are, second and third from the left Alick Swift and William Kennedy Park.  Alick enlisted in 1914 and fell at Gallipoli in 1915, never to return to his club.  If you can identify any other players, please let me know.  Some of the other men who played with this club are mentioned in a news article on the Time Travellers' webpage for the Essendon Baseball Club.
