CORRECTED:
Morrie Helser was on the Spokane Orphans of the PCBL, not his brother Roy Helser as previously listed.
Ducky Moore was previously identified as an imposter who claimed to be the Globetrotter star.
Al Wark does not exist and did not play for Tacoma Mountaineers. Removed from PCBL and page deleted..
Leo Kane, who played in the New England League after World War 2, was NOT on the 1946-47 Albany Senators. That was Robert Richard (Bob) Kane of Brooklyn, who played at Eastern District HS '37 and attended LIU prior to WW2.
Player listed simply as Ryan for Troy in the NYSL in 1946-47 was determined to be the same Ryan who played earlier that season for Albany. He was also identified as William James Ryan.
Removed the following players from the roster of the 1947-48 Portland Indians (PCBL) - They appear in no league box scores with the club: Jack Butterworth, Don Durdan, Mike Hafenecker, Ken Hays, Ted Sarpola
NEW LEADS UNRESOLVED:
Bill Anderson, PBLA - from Trenton, NJ
Harry Johnson, PBLA - from Long Island / Queens. Andrew Jackson HS, maybe St John's Prep, too
Gene Stump, NBA/BAA - various address sites list him as "deceased" but no obituary can be found
