"Red Sox Win From Adams at Gouverneur - Send Seven Runs Across in Second Inning - Score 8 to 2. - Gouverneur, August 14. - The Havana Red Sox defeated the Adams baseball team here yesterday afternoon in a rather one-sided contest by the score of 8 to 2. In the first inning the colored men sent a man over the home plate, and in the second they scored seven men in rapid succession, when the Adams men went to pieces temporarily. The attendance was estimated at over 1,000. There were 125 automobiles parked on the grounds. In the fourth inning Adams scored their two runs, and thereafter neither team showed fast work. Feeley was in the box for Adams, and while at times he was wild on the whole, he did fairly good work. Chapman was behind the bat for Adams, and his work was good. The Red Sox battery was composed of McDonald and Dixon. The former was exceedingly wile. He hit several batsmen, and he also gave several bases on balls. The field work of both teams was good."

"Red Sox Defeat Bay Team - Colored Men Win 13 to 4 Victory Here Thursday Afternoon in Last Game of the Season for Gouverneur - Last Thursday afternoon a small crowd saw the Havana Red Sox trim the Alexandria Bay baseball team here by the score of 13 to 4 in a contest that was clean and well played but devoid of any special features. The attendance was unusually small when the game opened at 2 o'clock but a half hour later enough had struggled in to make a fairly good attendance. The game was clean throughout there being no wrangling nor hard feelings and it was run off in exceptionally quick time as a result. The colored men had a new twirler for this section, Williams of the Lincoln Giants, New York City, and he proved to be the most effective artist that has been seen here this season. He was not obliged to extend himself Thursday but it was seen that he could throw almost equal to a canon. Deal pitched a good clean game for Alexandria Bay but he did not have the terrific speed displayed by the giant colored twirler. In the third five of Pop Watkins' men crossed the home plate owing to errors made in the field by the Bay boys and this practically assured the victory for the Red Sox as their opponents did not score until the fourth when two runs were recorded. Dixon was behind the bat for the Red Sox and Corcoran was the Alexandria Bay backstop. Williams gave 3 bases on balls and Deal gave an equal number. Deal struck out 5 and Williams struck out 9."

"Bay Powerless Before Red Sox - Governeur Game Results in 13 to 4 Score - Williams Shines in Box - Small Crowd Sees Curtain Rung Down on North Country's Best Baseball Season - At Adams Today. - Gouverneur, September 24. - Pop Watkins' colored ball tossers defeated the Alexandria Bay team here yesterday afternoon by the score of 13 to 4 in a game almost entirely devoid of features. The exception, perhaps, was the pitching of Williams for the Alexandria Bay. The attendance was by far the smallest of the season. Many thought the game was to have been played Friday afternoon. Neither team scored during the first two innings. Williams struck out men in one, two, three fashion, during both sessions. In the third, owing to several errors by the summer resort boys, five colored men raced over the plate. In the fourth Alexandria Bay sent two men home on clean hitting. In the eighth the Red Sox added four more. Williams worked here for the first time, and his pitching was by far the best seen this season. Deal kept the colored batsmen guessing much of the time. Corcoran was behind the bat for Alexandria Bay and Dixon acted in the same capacity for the Watertown men. Yesterday's game closes the season here and local fans are unanimous in the opinion that they have had the best exhibitions ever witnessed in this north country."

"Cyclone Joe to Pitch for Sox - He Will Officiate in Thursday's Game - Series With All-Stars - State League Presents Its Finest in Endeavor to Lower Colors of Dusky Ball Tossers. - The baseball series of three games between the Havana Red Sox and the All-Star State League team to be played at Garland City Park will open Thursday afternoon. The two remaining games will be played on Friday and Saturday at the park. The State League team will use in this series, Frank Brower, one of the greatest ball twirlers of the state, and who will play with the New York Giants next season. Another pitcher who will be used against the Red Sox in this series is Fred Taylor, the Utica State League pitcher. The All-Star team presents one of the best baseball teams in the state, and their manager announces that they come here for the express purpose of taking the colored team's scalp. The Red Sox have picked the very cream of their baseball organization for the contests, and have secured Cyclone Joe Williams, said to be, in the New York papers, the greatest pitcher in the world, either colored or white. Cyclone Joe will decorate the mound for the Red Sox Thursday. The Red Sox line-up to be used in the coming series follows: Pitcher, Cyclone Joe Williams; Catcher, Santop; first base, T. Allen; second Hank William; shortstop, Dandridge; third, Borden; left field, Gary; center field, Poles; right field, Dixon. Cyclone Joe has pitched against and defeated all the major league wonders, such as Mathewson, Plank, Johnson and others. He is a member of the famous Lincoln Giants. Santop, the other Brooklyn lad, stands six feet, two inches."

"Final Game Here Saturday - Pop Watkins Presents Players New To Fans Here - Lincoln Giants' Men on Team - Louis Santop, a Catcher, is One of the Three Highest Salaried Colored Men in National Game - Pitcher Harvey Also a New Asset, As is Williams, Another Star. - The final game of the season in this city will take place at Garland City Park tomorrow, when the Havana Red Sox will clash with the All-Stars, pick of the State League, in their final game of the series. The All-Stars proved their worth here yesterday, when they defeated Pop's strong colored aggregation by a 3 to 2 score. Pop will present to the Watertown fans for the first time, Louis Santop, the famous Lincoln Giant catcher, who is one of the three highest salaried colored backstops in the United States. His rank as a ball player is equal to National or American League caliber, but of course his color bars him. He recently played in a series of games in Alexandria Bay, but up to yesterday he had not been seen here. Pitcher Harvey of the same team who will twirl tomorrow, is also new to the fans here. These men will form a battery, which will be worth going miles to see. Poles and Williams are also new men secured to strengthen the team for this series."

"Havana Red Sox Defeat Harrisville - Local Black Win by a 10 to 4 Score - Home Club Has Hard Luck - Pitcher Rawley Failed to Show Up and Another Twirler Had to Be Secured at the Eleventh Hour - McDonald in Rare Form, While Gary Fielded Exceptionally Good. - The Havana Red Sox, Pop Watkins' premier colored aggregation, sewed up another victory good and tight at Harrisville Sunday afternoon, when they defeated the newly formed club of that village by a score of 10 to 4. McDonald on the hill for the blacks was in rare form and but few of the opposing batsmen could do little with his delivery. He was backed up in grand style. Gary in left field was exceptionally good with his fine fielding game robbed Harrisville of several hits. Harrisville was severely handicapped when Rawley, the State League pitcher engaged, failed to show up. through this streak of hard luck, the village team was forced to secure Pitcher Davis, from Deferiet. He was called at the last moment and had to make the trip by auto. The Harrisville club bids fair to have a strong club this season and before long they promise to put a team on the field that can defeat the local coloed tossers. They have written to Buffalo for a pitcher and he will arrive there this week. While the players lacked practice Sunday there seems to be no weak spots in the lineup with the exception of a boxman and an outfielder."

"Colored Players Win Saturday and Sunday - Defeat Harrisville Club in Both Games - Here and at Harrisville - Visitors Gave Havana Red Sox a Hard Tussle Here Saturday, But Proved Easy Picking Sunday - Local Management After Indian Team - Black to Take Canadian Trip. - The Havana Red Sox baseball club again defeated their old rivals, the Harrisville baseball club in games at this city and Harrisville Saturday and Sunday. The Saturday game at Garland City Park was a close one, the local colored aggregation winning by but a one run margin. The score was 7 to 6. Pop's blacks obtained an early lead, but the Harrisville club went after them in real earnest toward the end. The bisitors scored four runs in the ninth, and had two men on when Pitcher McDonald tightened and saved the game. Pitcher Sug Sweet, who has been engaged to twirl for Alexandria Bay team this season, twirled for the Harrisville club Saturday. Sweet is a former Watertown twirler. He has been pitching league ball for the past two years. The Sunday game at Harrisville was rather one-sided, the colored men winning by a 10 to 4 score. Pitcher Ryan, of Utica, worked in the box for Harrisville, while Gray was on the knoll for the Havana Red Sox. The local management is endeavoring to secure the Onandaga Indian baseball club for a game here next Saturday. The colored team will take a trip into Canada for games early in July."

The second contest was a hummer. The Lincoln Giants won in the ninth frame when Forbes singled sending home James. Cyclone Joe Williams pitched an excellent game in the curtain raiser.
