This is the pitcher who appears in the Negro Baseball Register in the NEGRO LEAGUES BOOK, edited by Dick Clark and Larry Lester, as unknown-first-name Barcelo, with the 1921 Cuban Stars. Here he is in the Cuban Stars uniform.

Believed to be Joaquin Barcelo.

Marvin "Hack" Barker played OF/2B/3B with four Negro League teams during the 1935-50 period. He is shown here in the uniform of the 1945 American All-Stars.

This is Raymond Howard "Sapho" Bartlett. He was with the Indianapolis ABCs during the 1910 through 1914 seasons. He was also with the Lincoln Giants in 1913 and Jewell's ABCs of Indianapolis in 1919. He is shown here in an unidentified uniform.

Sherman Barton played third base and the outfield for eight Negro League teams during the 1896-1911 period. He is shown here in an unidentified uniform.

Marcelino Bauza was a shortstop for the Cuban Stars in 1930. He is shown here in the uniform of the 1929 Havana Red Sox.

[Cusick]

Dennis "Bose" Biddle, P, is shown in the uniform of the Chicago American Giants. Dennis has claimed that he played for the American Giants in 1953 and 1954. The problem is that the American Giants commonly recognized as the Negro Leagues team went out of existence after the 1952 season. It's possible that there was another team named the Chicago American Giants which arose in 1953. Biddle says he has a valid copy of a contract with the real Chicago American Giants. I'm in no position to conclude anything other than that the whole matter about whether he really played in the Negro Leagues is in dispute.

Frank Blattner played first base and the outfield for the 1921 Kansas City Monarchs. He is shown here in an unidentified uniform. Update: I have found the team photo from which this head shot came, so it can be stated that he is wearing a Kansas City Monarchs uniform.

M. Borroto was a player on the 1922 Cuban Stars. He is shown here in the Cuban Stars uniform. Have concluded that this is Mario Borroto.

Earl Brown was a pitcher and outfielder with the Lincoln Giants, Baltimore Black Sox, and Harrisburg Giants. During his college years, he pitched for Harvard. Later in life, he was an editor for Life Magazine and a political activist.

The group photo on the right was placed next to Earl Brown's name on an Ivy League website, giving a bio of Harvard's Earl Brown. So I assume that Earl is one of the three players. My hunch, based on his appearance as an older man, is that he is the player on the left of the three, but I'll give the viewer the choice.
