There were other non-players that traveled with the White Sox. Their African American trainer Buckner was not with the Sox in 1918 and Harry Stephenson replaced him but he was traveling with the 1st team at the time of this photo.
Locals would help out and Mineral Wells had an African American community, it is possible he is a local.
the man on the bottom far right might be Harry Grabiner but Im not real sure and he looks older and thinner than what Grabiner would have been in 1918...I dont think I have eliminated Grabiner as a possibility and he did travel to Texas with the team in 1918.
