Davenport played a second season in Philadelphia before jumping to the Cincinnati Tigers of the Negro American League.
After the season, the Cincinnati Tigers franchise ceased operations and Davenport followed Radcliff to the Memphis Red Sox.
Again, Davenport hit over three hundred and when the season ended, he could call himself a champion, as Memphis defeated the Atlanta Black Crackers for the league championship, 2 games to 0.
