Alone in the NFL, the All-Stars would not play home games against black opponents in Missouri, forcing the sidelining of Fritz Pollard and end Ink Williams of the Hammond Pros.^[3] St. Louis made the best of this competitive disadvantage forced upon its opponent, generating a scoreless tie in this contest with an ostensibly superior opponent.

The team drew crowds of fewer than 1,000 people to two of their four home dates, with team owner Ollie Kraehe losing thousands of dollars on guarantees paid to visiting teams.^[4] The Blues did not return to the NFL for the 1924 season.
