Oh shoot - who am I thinking of then? It was some kind of international or maybe Native American team? I'll have to poke around and see. But he had founded some specialty touring team like that. You're right on All-Nations, though. That was Wilkerson. Now the Nelson team is going to drive me nuts until I think of it.

And Dennis, that's a great Indy Stars PC. Note that one of mine is also Indy Stars and shows a different address. I wonder if it's different years - must be. Does the street address show on the reverse of yours?

OK. I got it. Her husband's name was John Olson, and he founded the Cherokee Indian Baseball Club. You can even get a T-shirt of a broadside on negroleagueshop.com.

See? That's what happens when you hit 50 and try to do things from memory.

Heh....that should have come to me when you mentioned that Maud Nelson's last name was actually Olson. I'm well acquainted with the Olson Cherokee team.

Thank you everyone for the lively discussions on this team! I will post a higher resolution scan of the postcard as well as a Star Bloomers one I picked up with it later this evening. I really appreciate all of the information!
