The New Orleans Ads were a Negro Southern League (NSL) baseball team in 1920 based in Louisiana. The team was started by Fred Caulfield, a local backer."Eight Cities Enter Negro Southern League" New Orleans States, New Orleans, Louisiana, Wednesday, April 7, 1920, Page 15, Column 1 and is often referred to in newspapers as the Caulfield Ads."Negro Fans to Have Own Brand of Ball" New Orleans States, New Orleans, Louisiana, Monday, April 19, 1920, Page 16, Column 5
While the NSL was regarded as a minor league throughout most of its existence, with the collapse of the first Negro National League in 1932, it was considered a major league for that one season.
The team played opposite days from the white New Orleans Pelicans team at Pelican Stadium.
