Default 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:
per wikipedia) - The most recent incarnation of the league was the post-World War II Tri-State, a Class B circuit with clubs in Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina. 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.

1946-1955

Anderson A's (1946)
Anderson Rebels (1947–1954)
Asheville Tourists (1946–1955)
Charlotte Hornets (1946–1953)
Fayetteville Cubs (1947–1948)
Florence Steelers (1948–1950)
Gastonia Rockets (1952–1953)
Greenville Spinners (1951–1952, 1954–1955)
Greenwood Tigers (1951)
Knoxville Smokies (1946–1952, 1954)
Reidsville Luckies (1947)
Rock Hill Chiefs (1947–1955)
Shelby Cubs (1946)
Spartanburg Spartans (1946)
Spartanburg Peaches (1947–1955)
