I wasn't knocking Hakes - I think the 'Forest City' info should have been given to them by the consignor, and included in the description. The main point is that historical information has been destroyed by the clean-up job. Knowing that they were playing 'Forest City' is important to researchers.

I had a personal interest in this piece because George Neal played for two teams that I'm researching. Which towns/teams in Iowa were willing to play black teams is useful information, as not all of them were - I have an article being published sometime this year that goes into this a bit.
