I've been meaning to get something posted on the Pick Up thread but haven't got around to it. Will try soon.

I have an 1904 scorebook with some games against the Cuban Giants (its currently down at the Negro League museum but trying to get it back) and also an 1895 scorebook that has 3 games against the Cuban Giants, including Frank Grant. Also a 1920's to 1940's scorebook with some games against the Homestead Grays and Havana Red Sox (and one game of the Homestead Grays vs. the Baltimore Black Sox). Another 1930's with games against the Memphis Red Sox, K.C. Monarchs, Jacksonville Red Caps, St. Louis Giants. And lastly, a 1933 scorebook of Chappie Johnson's Chappies team (mentioned in my previous post). They were playing in an all-white league that year. He had several players that were past their prime on the team (i.e. Nip Winters, George Cheatham, Louis Santop) but still was a pretty big draw back in the upstate New York area.

Here's a look at the Manitowac image that I used to have:

Here's a shot of the Chappie's scorebook and the article about Winters playing for a white team.
