Abstract
The 1949 edition of the semipro Michigan-Indiana League expanded into Canada in mid-season. TheWindsor Canadians inherited a poor won-lost record from a newly defunct team from South Bend, Indiana.From there, the season only got worse for Windsor. The Canadians failed miserably, despite encouraging perfor-mances against well-known Negro League clubs and the House of David. The Windsor roster included formerpros, a “home brew,” and a convicted criminal from Detroit. After the regular season, two of the Canadians wereloaned to Fort Wayne, a rival Michigan-Indiana League club that was also defending U.S. national semiprochampion. Fort Wayne retained the title, partly due to the play of their Windsor contingent.
