This original newspaper contains a front page heading: "FAST COLORED STARS HERE ON SATURDAY" with a preview of one of the earliest front page references I have seen to the very early NEGR0 BASEBALL team, the Philadelphia Colored Stars (aka Hilldale baseball club). The Hilldale Athletic Club (informally known as Darby Daisies) were an American professional NEGR0 LEAGUE baseball team based in Darby, PENNSYLVANIA, west of Philadelphia.Established as a boys team in 1910, the Hilldales were developed by their early manager, then owner Ed Bolden to be one of the powerhouse Negro league baseball teams. They won the first three Eastern Colored League pennants beginning in 1923 and in 1925 won the second Colored World Series. Hall of Fame player Judy Johnson was a Hilldale regular for most its professional era with 12 seasons in 15 years (1918–1932). Pitcher Phil Cockrell played for Hilldale throughout those years. Oscar Charleston, Biz Mackey, Louis Santop, Chaney White, and Jesse "Nip" Winters were also important Hilldale players in the 1920s.The Kansas City Monarchs are one of the most famous teams in the history of Negro Leagues Baseball. But every great team needs a foil, a challenger, someone to push them. And for a time in the mid-1920s, the Hilldale Daisies took to that role.Also referred to as the Hilldale Athletic Club or the Darby Daisies, the team was formed by Ed Bolden and based in the Philadelphia area. A turning point came in 1923, when Bolden formed the Eastern Colored League, with Hilldale as a charter member. Set up as a rival to Rube Foster’s NEGR0 National League -- which included the Monarchs -- the ECL began with six teams: Hilldale, the Cuban Stars East, the Brooklyn Royal Giants, the Atlantic City Bacharach Giants, the New York Lincoln Giants and the Baltimore Black Sox.Immediately, Hilldale was the team to beat, going 37-21-1 in that inaugural season to finish first in the standings by five games and claim the first of three consecutive league pennants. Meanwhile, over in the NEGR0 National League (formed in 1920), the Monarchs overtook Foster’s three-time defending-champion Chicago American Giants to win that pennant in ‘23. They repeated in ‘24, but this time, there was another prize to seek.That was the first year of the Negro World Series, staged between the champions of the NNL and the ECL. In 1924, Hilldale went 47-26, won the ECL by three games and faced the mighty Monarchs in the World Series. They did not back down. Hilldale had the talent to compete, including Hall of Famers Johnson, Mackey and Santop. Behind brilliant pitching from Nip Winters and hot hitting from Johnson, Hilldale grabbed a 3-1 series lead -- one game also ended in a tie after 13 innings -- before ultimately falling 5-4. Very good condition. This listing includes the complete entire original newspaper, NOT just a clipping or a page of it. STEPHEN A.
