Yep.

Does look like him. There's no Furguson on the Wite Sox roster back in that era so that fits. He was from Minnesota so that could fit as to why he would be in Canada. Wiki says he was playing out west after the scandal so is there anything else that would place him playing in Canada?

Well, he previously played in Montreal as evidenced by his 1912 C46 card.

IF it is Chick, then it would fit that 1) A. Martin is another Black Sox player. I see no Martin that played in that period with Chicago. It might be Buck Weaver?

Keeping in mind these photos aren't exactly to scale and whatnot, the nose seems significantly less prominent and his ears a little too elongated for Gandil. (And, although the hat gets in the way, he doesn't appear to have that wide, alien-looking forehead either.) However, the dark and light areas on the sides of his mouth to his cheeks are somewhat similar.

Here's a comparison...
