Looks like a possibility except for the fact that there is no record of Watkins ever playing for the Cuban X-Giants. The Cuban Giants and Genuine Cuban Giants were all different teams. Of course, records from that time are sparse to say the least so anything is possible.

Yeah, that picture I posted is not one of the two I was thinking about. The player I'm remembering was very short. I thought he played for one of the Chicago or Kansas City teams, but he's not in any of my photos.

Perhaps my memory is playing tricks on me again - would not be the first time.

Phil, I found the photo I was thinking of - '06 Philadelphia Giants. I think it's Tom Washington. Riley's book has Washington playing for the Cuban X Giants in 1906, so it fits.

The photo is in Larry Lester's book 'Black Baseball in Chicago', but I can't locate a scan.
