Need Help Identifying Four Members of 1919 Shasta Limiteds
 
http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/...ps17ec673d.jpg

Introducing the 1919 Shasta Limiteds, part force part farce "the crack colored outfit that not only plays the fastest kind of baseball but also a lot of comedy." May 11, 1919 Oakland Tribune. Games of shadowball were usually followed by some seriously good baseball from these Northern California semi-pro champs.

My apologies for the image quality, taken from the February 7, 1983 Northwest Dispatch newspaper article. With the help of some online resources and the June 26, 1919 Oakland Tribune I've got the last names of all the players, and the first names of all but four players. I was hoping someone more familiar with the 1919-21 California Winter League, or Bay area semi-pro baseball might be able to help with the four first names of Houston, Fisher, Brown, and Vaughns, thank you in advance.

Left to Right Top Row: Owner Tod Graham, Jimmy Claxton, (?) Houston, Goldie Davis, Carlisle Perry, Gene Cooper, Chet Bost, and the Trainer Green

Left to Right Bottom Row: (?) Fisher, Eddie Jackson, "Bullet" Hilary Meadows, Billy Woods, (?) Brown, and (?) Vaughns

Bump for info. One possible identification of the four, "Tick" Houston.
