Could that be someone other than Foley White in the white border tobacco cards, T206???

Here is the link to the ebay auction containing the newspaper clipping from presumably a St. Louis newspaper in 1909.

This box score and related run-down of the game is the first time I have seen Foley White on Houston. He is not listed in Baseball_Reference on Houston.

This information lines up with what TedZ posted about a centerfielder named White on Houston in 1909.

It does not explain why the person pictured in the T206 known as "Foley White" Houston or "White, Houston" is wearing a catcher's glove. Maybe White played center and catcher like Craig Biggio.
