Charlie French 1909 - 1910 White Sox uniform

At least, I think it's him. (Being cautious, given that it's from 102 years ago.) The Mears listing calls him "Charles French", the uniform is in fact what the Sox wore from 1903-1911 (well, the 1907 team had a "World Champions" sleeve patch, but still), and the face seems to match the ragged profile shot of the 1909 Red Sox picture in the Batters Pack. But still…

Library of Congress collection image of French batting. Again, difficult to tell from the small profile shot, but I think it's the same player as the larger pic:
