The rounded C on the hat and the particular SOX logo on the white home uniform pinpoint the years of the photo to 1936-37. I studied team photos from those years but found no match, which leads me to believe he was a faarly marginal player. (It is certainly not Dykes or Stratton. Red Barnes was out of the Majors by 1930, so that eliminates him). In going through the individual pictures of White Sox from 1936 and 1937, the closest look-alike I found was Red Evans, a marginal pitcher who pitched in 17 games for the 36 Sox, but did not appear in the team picture. The resemblance is enough that he could be your man, but I wouldn't stake my White Sox collection on it. Good luck.
