Due to the many railroad coal towns emerging in the state, lots of no longer existing towns piped up. Some towns had organized colored teams. There is much non-white baseball in Iowa, check eBay. Right now there is a broadside of a colored team playing as well as a sweet native American team postcard. Doubtful any of your pictured players are notable but never know.
