This list seems to exclude any batsman before 1950. Lots missing from this list : https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/most-runs-in-career-284266

If you read the description, batsmen only qualify for this if they have completed 100 First Class and 100 List A innings. Hence, many batsmen pre-1950 won't be on here.
