Harry Herbert
Penale's posting prompted me to look further, and I found an actual photo of outfielder Harry Herbert. That's the neck of a guitar in Harry's lap, as apparently he was adept at playing the instrument.

Robert Vickers
Robert Vickers, C/P, is shown as an older man in a Birmingham Black Barons uniform. I don't have an exact year when he played for the Black Barons, but I have read that he played for them in the late 1950's.

Sam Jones
Samuel "Sam" or "Toothpick" Jones, P, is shown three times in a Cleveland Buckeyes uniform. These aren't great photos, but they are the only shots I've been able to find of Sam in Negro League uniforms. There was a photo of Sam posted previously on this thread, but it was in a Cleveland Indians uniform.

Charles Justice
Charles P. "Charley" Justice was a pitcher for the Akron Tyrites in 1933 and the Detroit Stars in 1937. He is shown here in the uniform of the 1935 Detroit Cubs. James Riley's encyclopedia indicates that he played the outfield later in the season for the 1937 Detroit Stars. In the Detroit Cubs' team photo, he is pictured wearing a catcher's mitt (yet the caption called him a pitcher), so apparently he was either versatile or had a sense of humor.

Unknown-first-name Kelley
Unknown-first-name Kelley, S/OF/3B, is shown in the uniform of the Cuban Giants. I've also seen his surname spelled "Kelly." Update: I believe this is the same player as the one which Seamheads.com refers to as William "King" Kelley.
