Nice catch on Lower, Steve. He was on the team preseason and released June 10, 1910. Somewhat surprising his stats are not listed on Baseball Reference for the 1910 Barons. They got it wrong on his pitching arm too-- he was a righty, so it seems likely this is the intended subject of the T210 mystery man:
