Guess he was with Cleveland. I'll write that." I don't believe Cleveland ever had uniforms with "Indians" on them until the 1940s. Does anyone else know otherwise or know that this is true?

You're right; according to the Hall-of-Fame uniform website, Cleveland didn't have "Indians" on the uniforms until 1946.
The Baseball-Reference roster for the 1923 Greenwood Indians is particularly incomplete, probably because the league disbanded in mid-season. I came across another website that included a roster for this team, but Herb Dessauer wasn't included.
