Mario Borroto
Mario Borroto, C, is shown in the uniform of the Cuban Stars. I had posted a photo of Mario previously, but was unable to supply his full first name or his playing position at that time. Thanks to Seamheads.com, both those items of information are now available.

Johnny Bright
John "Johnny" Bright was a pitcher for the Cuban Giants in 1907. He is shown here in an unidentified uniform. He died at age 20 in 1908. Obviously, he is not the same John Bright who became a manager, and whose photo was posted previously on this thread as John M. Bright.

Bill Cadreau
William "Bill" Cadreau was a pitcher with the Chicago Union Giants in 1917. He is shown here on the left in an unidentified uniform. He also pitched in the major leagues for the Chicago White Sox in 1910 under the name William "Chief" Chouneau. Update: To provide a photo with an identifiable uniform, I've attached on the right a shot of William with the Spokane Indians minor league team.

Emmet Campbell
Emmet Campbell, 3B/OF, is shown in the uniform of the Homestead Grays. I posted a photo of Emmet (spelling it Emmett) earlier this month. This is a head shot from the same photo. What I didn't realize at that earlier point is that Seamheads.com has concluded that Emmet is also the same player with the 1922 Pittsburgh Keystones as Clark and Lester had designated as Joseph Campbell, following the lead of James Riley in his encyclopedia.

Otis Francis
Otis Wilber "Cat" Francis was an infielder in the Negro Leagues during the 1909-1920 period. He was a second baseman for the greatest number of years during that time, but he also played shortstop and third base. He played for the Indianapolis ABCs from 1909 through 1913, for the Chicago Union Giants in 1914 and 1916, for Jewell's ABCs of Indianapolis in 1917 and 1919, and finished off back with the Indianapolis ABCs in 1920. The Negro Baseball Register, by Clark and Lester, refers to him as Del Francis. So does James Riley's encyclopedia.

William Fuller
William Fuller was a second baseman with the Philadelphia All-Stars, Bacharch Giants, and Hilldale in 1917. He was also with Hilldale in 1917, and with the Cuban Giants in 1915. He is listed in the Negro Baseball Register, by Clark and Lester, as W. W. "Chick" Fuller. I may have posted the photo on the right previously, as I found it on my computer. Unfortunately, I don't have a record of it, and don't know the uniform.

Robert Garrison
Robert Garrison, P, is shown in the uniform of the St. Paul Black Gophers. The photo caption for the Gophers team photo in color indicates that Robert Garrison was on the team. The Negro Baseball Register, by Clark and Lester, lists Robert Garrison with the 1909 St. Paul Gophers. However, the head shot B&W photo on the left was presented with the record for pitcher Richard "Dick" Garrison on the Seamheads.com website. Seamheads indicates that Dick Garrison was with the 1908 Chicago Leland Giants and is silent about any St. Paul Gophers affiliation for him. It's possible that Dick and Robert Garrison are the same guy, but I'm treating them as two players until I find evidence to the contrary. I assume that Seamheads simply came up with the wrong photo for Dick Garrison. Update: Communications with Seamheads have revealed that Richard Garrison is the correct name for this player, and Robert Garrison is an outdated name which was previously thought to be what he was called. In any case, it is the same player, not a separate one.
