Whomever collected these autographs seemed to have had access to the players in that time frame. Lots of these cuts made from Kodak photos. A lot of foreign born players too, many pictured in "mug shot" type photos in front of the same white rock wall, who I can't even find on baseball reference, even when the names are readable and provided. I think many of the players were trying to make teams and were never officially members of the organization.

For example, I had no clue Pete Rose Jr was trying to make the Dodgers at one point, but he was in the lot in a Dodger uniform. BR doesn't mention Rose with the Dodgers, but an online photo confirms that we was working out with the team at some point.
