I found a real photo postcard of Ellam along with some of his personal effects in an ebay live auction about 10 years ago. (I no longer own it) There was even a news clipping of his death which was an unfortunate accident.

I have sent in numerous corrections for old Pirates stats. Some have been corrected, some haven't. I actually just sent in one today for a player who was charged for five earned runs while only facing three batters back in 1894

Roy Ellam
"Slippery" Ellam did indeed play for Birmingham 1909-1915. He was signed to manage Nashville in 1916 and promptly lead the Vols to their fourth Southern Association championship.
Well-loved for the years he had in Birmingham, on May 8, 1916, “Roy Ellam Day” was held at Rickwood Field. The former Barons player was presented with a Masonic watch charm as he came to bat in the second inning as Nashville lost to Birmingham 4-3. He stayed with the Volunteers through the 1920 season, when on October 5 he was dismissed, stating from his home in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, "I understand they charge me with not getting results." Ellam managed Galveston in the Texas League the next season, then returned to Atlanta to manage the Crackers in 1922. The previous post by rhettyeakley is the most plausible with no evidence of Ellam being with Nashville prior to 1916.
