Football fairies

From Cliff Christl at Packers Plus Online, a list of the Green Bay Packers' opponents in the 1921 season:

...the Packers played their first game against the Chicago Boosters. Although the Boosters were technically a non-league opponent, it essentially marked the end of the Packers' pre-season workouts in their first year in the NFL. They played three more non-league games against the Rockford Maroons, Chicago Cornell-Hamburgs and Beloit Fairies before playing their first league game against the Minneapolis Millers.

Maroons? Cornell-Hamburgs? I'm guessing Beloit's team was not long for professional football.
