The Carolina Textile League was one of several "textile leagues" formed in the region in the era. The Carolina Textile League centered on textile mills the employees who worked in them. The league was formed as an independent league, meaning that it was not a part of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues structure. The Carolina Textile League rules permitted up to four players per team who had prior professional baseball experience.[1][2][3][4][5]
