In the Mar 10, 1910 Birmingham Post-Herald, there is a mention of a pitcher named "Lower".
The manager "Molesworth" of the Birmingham Barons, had evidently picked him up from Cincinnati. He had been drafted by Clark Griffith, out of Omaha.
In 1909, he won 20 games, in 32 starts.
Here's his Baseball-reference.com page:

Further, in the Jun 7, 1910 Birmingham Post-Herald, there is a story and box score for a game between Birmingham and Chattanooga. Lower started the game for Birmingham. It looks like he only pitched 1/3 of an inning. Chattanooga scored 6 runs in the first inning, and won 7-5
