Though previously unidentified, a researcher has offered the following details about this photo. The sitters are all Comanche from Oklahoma. Pictured is Red Elk (seated left), Isatia (sometimes spelled Eshiti or called White Eagle, standing left), Chief Quanah Parker, Harold Parker (student and oldest son of Quanah Parker). The women pictured are Laura Parker (student and daughter of Quanah Parker), and Tonarcy (wife of Quanah Parker). The photo dates from January 1896. This photo is corroborated by the "Visiting Chiefs" article in the January 31, 1896 issue of "The Indian Helper." Also, through additional research, there are articles that appear in newspapers in various states in February 1896 about Quanah Parker, his wife, and others visiting Carlisle and Washington DC.

Group portrait of thirteen male students, ten wearing baseball uniforms with "Union Reserve" on the front, three not in uniforms. Some are holding bats and there is a catcher's mitt and face mask next to the student posed in front. 

The Union Reserves were one of the school's many baseball teams. They may have been made up of some of the "small boys."

Group portrait of twelve male students, some wearing uniforms with "Carlisle" or "Y.A." on them, posed with baseball equipment.

This is probably one of the informal baseball teams organized to play other school teams.
