Robert William "James" Abernathy, according to Baseball-reference.com, was an outfielder with the Kansas City Monarchs in 1945 and 1947, and with the Indianapolis Clowns in 1947. The Baseball Register in THE NEGRO LEAGUES BOOK, edited by Dick Clark and Larry Lester, splits the entry into two different players: James Abernathy and Robert Abernathy. So did the BIOGRAPHICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THE NEGRO LEAGUE, by James A. Riley. I'm presuming that Baseball-reference.com has the latest information.
