"Will the East Organize Soon - Opinion is Strong That She Will Come Under. - (By C.D. Marchall.) - I have been asked many time about the situation in last fall's circles in the East, did I think that the big Eastern cities such as Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Atlantic City, Brooklyn, and New York would organize a league of base ball. It is known that there is a little budfulling circulating among some of the Eastern managers and that extends into the West but it is thought that the storm will soon blow over. Now that the West has organized and is busy laying plans of how to keep her best players, I am sure that the Eastern managers will be almost forced to come together. They know Rube Foster and C.I. Taylor, as well as you do and what is more they fear these two wizards of the West and since the news has reached them that the West has "come together" they are shocked, presumably. But enby and this "get even" idea are to be elminiated in colored base ball circles in the season of 1920 and only thought of heading the league teams is the thing uppermost in every manager's mind. Winning the pennant should be the argument."

"Parkesburg Winner of 16-Inning Game - Special to the Inquirer. - Parkesburg, Pennsylvania, July 19. - Parkesburg Iron Company took a 16-inning game from the Cuban Stars here today by the score of 3 to 2. The game at times scintillated with dazzling plays and at others was featured by errors on easy chances. Jos� Junco, who pitched for the Cuban Stars, went the full distance, while Malloy, who worked for the Parkesburg Iron Company, was relieved in the thirteenth by Touchstone. The visitors were the first to score when they pushed one over in the first inning on an error, a hit, and a fly to the outfield. Parkesburg tied it up in the second on a hit and a couple of errors. After that, the teams battled each other to a standstill until the fiftheenth, when the Cubans bunched two hits and a sacrifice and scored another run. In the half of the fifteenth the Ironmen tied it up again on an error by Lucio Vald�s and a hit by Baldwin. In the final frame the visitors went out in order, but White came through with a two-base hit that almost cleared the outfield fence for a home run. He went to third on Touchstone's infield out and scored on Pepolsky's single that was too hot for Jones to handle. (illiegible) brilliant one-handed pickup of Lucio Vald�s's grounder in the twelfth was a fielding feature."

Millville, NJ
"Millville News - Cubans Won Batting Matinee - Visitors Banged Robinson Good and Hard. - Allen Stopped the Attack - Millville Came Hard From Behind But Couldn't Quite Get Enough. - The Cubans Stars mauled Robinson in an agonizing manner last Saturday afternoon at the park. They slammed the offerings to various portions of the lot, collecting ten safe swats in three innings. Five of them were two baggers. The attack yielded seven tallies and with this handicap Allen was inserted into the lineup in an endeavor to prevent further roat and he did well. In the six innings he toiled the Cubans nicked him for half dozen bingles and three runs. It was a big lead to overcome but the local clubbers clung to their job like Trojans and staged a couple of rallies that brought encouraging results. They got 3 in the fifth, 2 in the seventh and another in the ninth. An effort to pull a Hilldale finish on the Cubans had all the appearances of materializing when George Mangus led off with his fourth crash of the afternoon. Jim Steelman batting for Neville, singled to left centre and the crowd began to ysll. Ned Robinson tried hard but the best he could do was a high fly to Chacon. Then Walken wallped a line to left and magnus counted. Lewis hit sharply to Chacon who threw to Leron forcing Walker. With Streehan on third, Allen hit to short left and Chacon ran back and caught it, ending the game. The Cubans play speedy ball and Millville did not make a half bad showing against them. Some miscues enacted early in the contest helped the visitors pile up the runs, but at that Millville kept in the game and made a respectable showing. George Mangus led the hitting with three singles and a double. Matt Donahue and Allen each got two and in all the home club banged Lucas for 14 crashes, while the visiting crowd got sixteen."
