Default T210 Old Mill "Mystery" Players

Although it is not uncommon to find cards in the PCL zeenut sets that show players that made the card set, but never made the official team roster, it seems that a similar situation also occurs in the T210 Old Mill set.

While attempting to identify players that had H807-1 Old Mill Cabinets, I learned that at least 2 players that appear on cards in the T210 set and H807-1 set don't seem to have made the official team roster.

Anyone have the full names for Spicer, Portsmouth or Zimmerman,
Lynchburg, both are Series #2 cards?

There was a Bryant Spicer that was from West Virginia that played for the Montgomery Miners in the 1911 Mountain States League, and in 1912 Blue Grass league. One of the players/managers from that group of teams, Harry Kunkel, also played on the 1910 Portsmouth team. Perhaps a connection.

With regards to Zimmerman, there was a Bill Zimmerman that played in the
1911 Kentucky-Illinois-Tennessee League. Those are my guesses so far.
