ETA: That might be Fielder Jones sitting on the bench, though.

Cecil Jones
was on the trip to Mexico. He was the son of Fielder Jones, and was five or six years old at the time. I agree that the pictured gentleman is obviously not Cecil.
I've attached a roster of the traveling White Sox party in Mexico from the Chicago Inter Ocean, March 5th, 1907. I believe the player mislabeled as Cecil
is actually his father, who was a right-handed thrower. A head shot from 1908 is attached along with a closeup from the RMY image. I think the person on the bench may be Lee Tannehill.
