On April 26, 1925, Alton’s own Rip Van Winkles baseball team played a game at Sportsmans Park against Negro National League team, the St. Louis Stars (originally the St. Louis Giants). Sportsmans Park was built in the early 1900s on the north side of Broadway, where the Alton Plaza Shopping Center now stands. (An earlier Sportsmans Park was built in the 1880s on the south side of Broadway, but the land was sold to Illinois Glass Works around 1906.) The Rip Van Winkles was a social club for married people in Alton, and they often threw dancing parties. The St. Louis Stars planned to bring an impressive lineup: John Reese in center, Wilson Redus at shortstop, Candy Jim Taylor at third, Percy Miller at first, Sam Bennett as catcher, and George Brown, Deacon Myers, and possibly George Womack (listed in the Alton Evening Telegraph as Warmack) as pitchers. Cool Papa Bell was on the 1925 St. Louis Stars roster but is not listed as one of the players at the game against the Rip
