1930s/40s Chicago White Sox Team Baseball Autographs ID (maybe Comiskey?) (updated w/ clearer pics)
While cleaning up my parent's house (they are moving) I found this old baseball. (Unfortunately it is in rather poor shape, hence the multiple photos from different angles.)
This used to be sitting on my grandma's shelf. My dad said that it was probably signed by 1930s/1940s Chicago White Sox Players.
Apparently, my great-grandfather managed a famous country club on the south side of Chicago in the 30s/40s. Lots of famous people came through (including the White Sox) and he got their autos.
There seems to be a “Charles Comiskey” auto on it.
I was just wondering if anyone knew who signed this baseball?
(Note this is an update to a previous post I did on this. I have added a lot clearer photos.)

From what I can see, and I am no expert, is that 30s-40s CWS seems right. I can make out Luke Appling, Ted Lyons, Pete Appleton and Larry Rosenthal who all played with the Sox during that period. Comiskey died in 1931, so your great grandfather might have gotten him earlier or right before he died. Again, not an expert, but it's a really cool ball with a great story.

Side 3, last signature, appears to be Cubs HOFer Joe Tinker who is a tough signature. I compared it to some of the PSA examples on their website and I would say it is probably good. I can't find any information that he coached with the White Sox though. He spent a lot of his post-playing career in Florida.
