James Ellis
The attached photo was captioned as an unknown-first-name Ellis, but I have to conclude that it is James "Mooney" Ellis, who played first and third base for several Negro League teams during the 1921-25 period. This particular player was a first baseman for the 1921 Nashville Elite Giants, and that's an Elite Giants uniform. James Ellis was a first baseman on that team. I posted a photo of James Ellis previously. Although it was not a good quality photo, it does demonstrate that James Ellis had high cheekbones as does the player in this photo.
