Poster for an All Stars baseball game,1930s. Creator: Unknown.

Advertisement for a baseball game between the Colored All Stars and the White All Stars at Halloran Park, Lima, Ohio. Games between top Black teams and white teams were common during the era preceding integration, with this contest 'under lights' also representing an early night game. As evidenced here by its more prominent placement and team photograph, the Lima-Ohio club was the main draw for this game. White poster with red text. Photograph of the Colored All Stars - African American baseball players - is at left. The text reads: [Baseball / All Star Game Ohio State League / Halloran Park / LIMA-OHIO / COLORED ALL STARS / The Best Colored Players from Toledo, Ft. Wayne, Detroit and Other Leading Cities. / VS. / The Pick of Best Players / From Northwestern Ohio / SEMI-PRO Teams / WHITE ALL STARS / Children 15¢ Adults 40¢ / ANY PLACE IN THE PARK / THE BIG GAME OF THE SEASON / TUES. NITE 8:30 P.M. / UNDER LIGHTS / AUG.22]. The back of the poster is blank.
