There's a discrepency here. On May 20, 1898, Newark, visible on shirt fronts, played at Lancaster, PA, winning 6 to 4.
Assuming it is May 20, 1898, the catcher would be Jack Wente and the ump ex-MLB'r Pop Tate in a light brown jacket.
Knowing he only had 30 seconds of film, the camera man waits for batters to make contact before filming. It's jumpy but shows three quick outs. The bottom of the first inning? If so, the batters are future writer Zane Grey, Pete Cassidy, and Butch McIntyre.
