Hi….A friend has an old photo of a team whose uni-forms say Wilcox and Draper on the front. The team members listed are Smith, Thompson,Burley or Busby, A. Lewis, D. Lewis, Tolbert, Anderson, Hall, Keene and Parris. Want to know who these men were and in what area of the country did they play? What years did they play anddid any of them go on to successful careers with other teams? THe manager's name was Barker. There are no dates or cities listed on it. Kathryn Wheeling-Culligan

Hack or Hank Barker played and managed in the Negro leagues, but your team is a new one to me.

Hi
Is anyone familiar with The Negro Gorhams or a later team called the The Big Negro Gorhams?
Thank you
