True, but you could compare each player to pictures of the Buxton team from the 1920s (the town was dismantled before 1930) and you might get a match. The players likely found other teams.

I think we need to remember that, though economics have lead to less photographic evidence then for there white counterparts, that there were a lot of church, school and town teams made up of black players. If you read any biography of a black athlete growing up in the 20's and 30's almost all of them played on some sort of team. The pitchers may be rare but the teams were not
