Why is Roy Ellam on Nashville in the T206 Set?

[RCMcKenzie]

There is no modern day evidence that Foley White played for Houston during the T206 era. I think it is more likely that the modern day evidence is wrong and that Ellam played for Nashville and White played for Houston during the T206 era, but we don't have a record of it today.

There would be a record in the Nashville newspaper archives of Ellam playing there. However it might be the case that no one has looked into yet. I know that the Baseball Reference site online is definitely wrong on Dazzy Vance. He did not play for York in 1912, he was in Superior and newspaper accounts prove this, but they for whatever reason will not change this even though it's been pointed out to them.
