I received a request to type out the names of the 1922 St. Louis Tigers players, as the scan of the article from the Argus was a bit hard to read. Here they are (I updated the post, too):
“Jas. ‘Baby’ White, formerly with Beaumont Oilers, 2b; Elisha Warren,
Galveston Sand Crabs, 3b; William Hines, Houston Buffaloes, 1b; Robert
Davis, All Nations, p; Chas. Hunter, Beaumont, outfield; William
Jackman, Houston, p; Lawson Perry, ss, Thomas Calloway and Lloyd Evans,
outfield, all from Houston; Thos. Gee, c, and Curtis Boyce, p, from the
Galveston Sand Crabs.”

The Tigers, by the way, were supposed to have competed in the Negro Southern League that year, though I do not recall finding any confirmation that they actually did.
