1940's? Tri-State League Ball - signed by?
Any help would be most appreciated! Sigs are unfortunately quite light.
I can possibly make out (with my weak eyes):
"Ed Head"
"Gene Star"
Bill Kearn"
"Chick Drissie"
I assume this is from this league:

This league, which played from 1946–55, typically included clubs in Charlotte, Asheville, Knoxville, Rock Hill and Spartanburg; most of its teams were affiliated with Major League Baseball farm systems.
