In distinct records these teams are famed as “Wilson’s Elite Giants”; because these teams did not send for Nashville “home” those players put in order not included.

There were several cooperative known teams of Black turn, too: Morocco Stars, New Vintage Stars, Nashville Cardinals, Nashville Queenlike Giants and Nashville Crawfords, stomach the L & N Track and DuPont sponsored teams, also.
