Jabez, I believe your research shows that the club was mostly known just as "Hilldale"... This is what I have seen them mostly referred to in a lot of the books and articles on the Negro Leagues that I have read...


According to the Center for Negro League Baseball Research:

Hilldale Giants - Eastern Colored League 1923-1927
Eastern Colored League 1928 (Associate Member)
American Negro League 1929

Hilldale Daisies - East-West League 1932
Negro National League 1933 (Associate Member)
