Information About

Hilldale Daisies




Frustrated by the league's lack of organization, Bolden pulled his club out of the ECL prior to the 1928 season. When the American Negro League was organized in 1929, Hilldale joined, but the league lasted only one season. After the 1932 season, Bolden disbanded the club, founding the Philadelphia Stars in its place. Among the many great players to grace Hilldale's roster were Biz Mackey , Judy Johnson , Chaney White , Jesse "Nip" Winters , Jud Wilson , Oscar Charleston , and Phil Cockrell .

Although various nicknames were applied to the club (Giants, Daisies, "Clan Darbie"), it was most commonly known simply as Hilldale or the Hilldales.
