That's a really nice piece of research you've done. I wrote a brief story about Claxton's PCL career and always wondered who did him in. I always assumed it could have been any number of people because he was supposed to have been a cracker jack semi-pro player in the Oakland area so I guessed his fame caught up with him. Since semi-pro ball was much more popular back then, it's a good guess that a good many fans would have seen him play before and knew he was black. If he had gotten a shot in the International League or American Association at the time, far removed from his stomping grounds, it would have been harder for his reputation to catch up with him.
