years of operation, city represented

Confusion here:

James A. Riley has this team representing Lansing, Michigan in 1891. But he lists eastern players with the team. I've also seen 1903.

Baseballlibrary.com has the "Capital Colored All-Americans":

The Capital Colored All-Americans set sail for England with a team of players from Western League clubs.

-- in August 1895

I have a newspaper reference to George Stovey playing with "Colored All-Americans" in August 1889. Stovey was anchored in the east though.

1894 as well. Deep confusion. Somebody should research this team.
