Not Tetelo. See annotated below.

Right, Jason. Maybe Portuondo seated second from left?

Who knows. I'd love to see how someone could dig that out. I can't believe I even put a name under that person's face. Might as well be silly putty.

Those other two unidentified guys probably hold the key to the year.

Without Vargas and no Pedroso or Hooks Jiminez or Padron, now I'm thinking 1925.

I think you mean Juan Padron. Here's Fabre with Juan Padron from Ryan by way of agatetype. He's not in the image.
