Winfield also was a player for some lesser teams -- the New Orleans Black Pelicans, Monroe Monarchs, Shreveport Giants, and Cincinnati Buckeyes. His managerial career included the Birmingham Black Barons and New York Cubans, along with the Chicago team.

Roy Welmaker was a pitcher with the Atlanta Black Crackers, Homestead Grays, and Philadelphia Stars during the 1932-45 period. Two photos of him have been posted previously on this thread showing him in minor league uniforms. They are better than this one. I was attempting to find a photo of him in a Negro Leagues uniform, but the best I could do was this photo with the 1945 American All-Stars, which was a barnstorming team, made up of players from the Negro Leagues.

William "Billy" Whyte, P/OF, is shown in the uniform of the Cuban Giants. The photo of William previously posted on this thread showed him in street clothes.

Robert L. Wiggins was an outfielder for the Raleigh Tigers and Kansas City Monarchs in 1959 and 1960. He is shown here in the uniform of the Chicago Giants. This same photo was posted previously on this thread, but the earlier posting lacked the team emblems which allowed for the uniform identification.

Wallace "Bucky" Williams was an infielder and pitcher with the Pittsburgh Crawfords in 1930 and 1931. He is shown here with a team called the Pittsburgh Monarchs. The photo posted previously for Bucky showed him as an older man sporting a Crawfords cap.

Charles H. "Lefty" Williams, P, is shown in the uniform of the Homestead Grays. The photo of Charles previously posted on this thread showed him in an unidentified uniform.

Clarence "Waxey" Williams, C/SS/3B, is shown in the uniform of the Cuban Giants. The photo of this Clarence Williams, which was posted on page 19 of this thread, showed him in street clothes.

Clyde "Lefty" Williams, P, is shown in the uniform of the Cleveland Buckeyes. The photo of Clyde previously posted on this thread showed him with a labor union team.

[Cusick]

James "Big Jim" Williams, OF, is shown in the uniform of the Homestead Grays. The photo of Big Jim previously posted on this thread showed him with the Jacksonville Eagles, which was not a Negro Leagues team.

[Cusick]

Jim Williams, OF/1B, is shown in the uniform of the New York Black Yankees. The photo of Jim previously posted on this thread showed him with the Indian Head Rockets, a Canadian team.

[Cusick]

Lem R. Williams, OF, is shown in the uniform of the Cuban Giants. The photo of Lem posted previously on this thread, on page 91, showed him in an unidentified uniform. Having found this photo, I now conclude that the earlier photo was a head shot from this same photo, so the previous photo also depicted him in a Cuban Giants uniform.

Samuel C. "Sam" Williams, P, is shown in the uniform of the Birmingham Black Barons. The photo of Sam previously posted on this thread showed him in an unidentified uniform.

John E. "Johnny" or "Jumpin' Johnny" Wilson was an outfielder for the Chicago American Giants in 1948 and 1949. I still haven't found a photo of him in an American Giants uniform, but here are a couple of fairly good shots of him to supplement the two previously posted. On the left, he is shown in his Anderson College basketball uniform. On the right, he is shown in street clothes as a basketball coach.

John R. "Needle Nose" Wright, P, is shown in the uniform of the Homestead Grays. Three photos of John have been posted previously on this thread, but none showed him in an identifiable Negro League uniform.
