| Saint Joseph Herald-Press, 13-October-1923 |
The Chicago Giants were an original member of the Negro National League when it was founded in 1920. The team did not have a home field. Joe Green was owner, manager and outfielder. The House of David was a Michigan religious commune that raised money in various interesting ways, including a barnstorming baseball team. Male members of the sect, and players on the team, who were not always members of the sect, were required to wear long beards.
The two teams played a series of five games in Saint Joseph, Michigan, at the House of David Park. I can't find a box score for the fourth game.
