Hilldale Club Wins Second Colored World Series

In 1925, the Hilldale Club of Darby, Pennsylvania—champion of the Eastern Colored League—won the second Negro World Series, defeating the Kansas City Monarchs five games to one and taking revenge for the previous year's defeat. Judy Johnson, third baseman for Hilldale, was a key contributor to three consecutive ECL pennants (1923–1925). The series established the Hilldale Club as a dynasty of Black baseball.
