"Brooklyn Giants Here Wednesday - Globe Tire Will Clash With Famous Colored Nine - 5 O'Clock Game Time - The original Brooklyn Royal Giants, said to be the strongest colored team ever organized, will be the attraction at the Globe Tire Athletic Field next Wednesday afternoon. Nat C. Strong, manager of the Giants, consented to bring this aggregation of ball tossers here, only after considerable dickering and a guarantee beyond the reach of past patronage. To encourage sports and furnish baseball seen only in big league parks, the Globe management has spared no expense in putting on a team of local boys considered to be the stars of their respective positions hereabouts. Other clubs to be brought here are Chinese, Cuban Stars and several of the foremost big league clubs, including the New York Giants, Yankees, Dodgers and Phillies. Harry Adams, who handled the indicator at the old Y.M.C.A. games has been retaining to umpire. His D.R. League work has been very satisfactory. The Brooklyn Royal Giants have promised a fast, snappy game, while the Globe Tire team has been schooled in taking and leaving the field on a trot. This also will give the Trenton fans an opportunity in comparing the local boys of today and those of the old Y.M.C.A. days, when independent ball was in its prime. With Lennie Frost, Jaynes, Red Justice, Billy Lloyd, Jimmie Travis, Andy Warner, Hillbourn, WArwick and KcKee in its lineup, the most promising local talent will oppose the colored team. The builders will have the bleachers finished on the first and third base lines to accommodate 7,200 spectators, together with the grand stand, which seats 600 people making a seating capacity of 1,800 people."

The game will start at 4:45 o'clock, so as to give the various building trades workers, machinists, office help, clerks, business men and women, rubber workers, etc., an opportunity to patronize this contest. There is no reason why a team composed of Lennie Frost, Baby Jaynes, Red Justice, Billy Lloyd, Jimmie Travis, Andy Werner, Hillbourn, Warwick, McKee and Neuman should not give the Trenton fans good baseball. With the proper support, the Chinese of the uNiversity of Hawaii, Japanese, Cuban Stars of Havana, Cuba, New York Giants, Yankees, Dodgers, Philadelphia Nationals and other big league clubs, will be seen on the Globe Tire Athletic Field before the season closes. With the new bleachers seating 1,200 more people, the diamond in first class shape and weather permitting, the largest crowd of the season should pack the grounds."

"Royal Giants Blank Globe Tire - Globe Team No Match for Giants - Harvey, Visiting Pitcher, Lets Tiremakers Down With Two Hits, Winning, 10 to 0. - Airtight pitching by Harvey and terrific hitting by his teammates acted disastrously against Tommy O'Hara's Globe Tire Delaware River League club yesterday afternoon at the new Globe athletic field in the game with the Brooklyn Royal Giants and the tiremakers were laid to rest under a mound of 10 markers. Two scratch hits were all that the local crew could register off the dusky hurler from Brooklyn. Lennie Frost and Harry Hillborn being the lucky members of the O'Haraites. Thirteen members of the local aggregation shuffled back to the bench via the air route. Because he comes from the South and because Ty Cobb or some other baseball star has refused to play against negro teams, Babe Jaynes, the Globe club's regular pitcher, would not participate in yesterday's contest and Manager O'Hara had to scout up Fritz Gaiser to do the hurling. The former New York State Leaguer lasted five rounds. During that time the Giants clubbed his offerings for seven runs and twelve hits. Johnny Newman was then rushed to the rubber, but his wildness allowed the visitors as many liberties as before and the game dragged on until the final round. Hanson Horsey, the former Allentown Tri-State League pitcher, was to have pitched for the Globe club, but was unable to get away from Chambersburg, where he is pitching for Eddie Hooper's Pennsylvania State League club."

The noise came in the first half of the ninth and for the 'steenth time this season the Umpire's life was threatened. Going into the final frame on the short end of a 3-2 score the Royals rallied. Handy, the first man up, doubled to left. Pugh stole second, bringing Stringbean Williams to the plate. The elongated one met one on the nose and sent it to right. The drive dropped in the vicinity of the right field foul line and Billy Beal, who was officiating, called it a foul ball. This was the signal for the riot. The Royals crowded the ump, and for a time it looked bad for him. However, he would not change his decision and the Royals walked off the ground, thereby forfeiting the contest to the locals. The game was one of the best of the season and was enjoyed by the handful of fans present in the grounds and the monster gathering on the hill outside the park. The contest brought together Stringbean Williams, the star hurler of the Royals, and Mudoz, the best bet in the Henriquez stable. Although the head was intense both pitchers heaved good ball. The locals were first to score. In the fourth with one out Calvo singled and stole second. Louis Padron picked out one to his liking and crashed out a homer. The visitors evened matters in the next inning on four hits and a double steal. The locals took the lead in the eighth on Calvo's third hit, a stolen base and Hungo's double. Then came the riot.

The Brooklyn players came out the better of the argument winning in the 11th by the score of 5-4. The contest was a pitching duel between Munoz, for the Cubans, and Harvey and Sykes for the Royal Giants. Lefty Harvey, sensational darkey twirler, pitched a wonderful game until the fifth when he was obliged to reture in favor of Sykes because of a sore arm. Sykes filled the bill in a creditable manner, and his delivery was most puzzling to the heavy hitting Cubans. Munoz pitched first-class ball for the Poughkeepsie team, but bunching of hits enabled the Royal Giants to score at the needed time. Both twirlers allowed eight scattered bingles, and the two clubs played errorless ball."

"Royal Giants Here for Series - The first contest in the series of six games to be played between the Poughkeepsie Cubans and the Royal Giants will be contested this afternoon at Riverview Field at 3:30 o'clock. This series will go a long way toward eliminating one of the teams in the race for the Eastern semi-pro championship, in which five teams figure. The locals have practically eliminated the Lincoln Stars and hope to rout the Royals. In the opening tilt Lefty Harvey the sensational southpaw of the visitors, will be the hurler and it is thought that the locals will send Mudoz, the star of the Henriquez stable, to the firing line."

"Royal Giants and Cubans in 4-Game Series - Rain stopped the Poughkeepsie Cubans - Royal Gaints at Riverview Field yesterday afternoon, but provided Mr. Weatherman permits, the same teams will battle today, tomorrow, Thursday and Friday. The Royals come here fresh from victories over the Lincoln Giants and are confident of taking the measure of the locals. Yesterday's downpour helped the visitors, as they will be able to send Stringbean Williams, their star hurler, to the mound. Williams is an elongated moundsman and is considered the best colored pitcher in the game today. Sunday last he was pitted against Cyclone Joe Williams, the star of the Lincoln Giants, and much to the surprise of the dopesters the elongated one was returned the winner. Dr. Henriquez will depend on Mudoz to pitch the locals to victory. He has not worked since Thursday last and should be in great form. All games will be called at Riverview Field at 3:30 o'clock."

"Cuban Win Slow Contest From Royals - Locals Make 12 Hits for Total of 16 Bases - Win by Score of 9-4. - Calvo and Hungo Star with Willow. - In a contest that was marked by free hitting, the Cubans triumphed over the Royal Giants of Brooklyn at Riverview Field yesterday afternoon by a score of 9-4. The score is no indication of how badly the visitors were beaten. The locals slammed out twelve hits for a total of sixteen bases and had they tried they might have had twenty tallies. Mudoz started the contest for the locals, but after getitng a eight-run lead retired in favor of Barranda. Stringbean Williams, the star hurler of the colored aggregation, started on the hill, but after pitching five balls and passing Romonach, he retired. The pitching burdens were taken up by Red Smith, late of the Lincoln Stars. His offerings were hit to all corners in this frame and the locals scored five times before a man was retired. In the fourth the locals started again and in this frame several hits, sprinkled with a couple of boots, gave the locals three more runs. Mudoz retired from the contest in the fifth after allowing the Royals four hits. Barranda took up the firing line duties and was touched up for six hits in four innings. It was only due to good support on the part of his team mates that the score was kept down. Calvo and Hungo starred at the bat for the locals. The former scored two doubles and a single in five times at bat, while the latter made a double and two singles in as many trips to the plate. Handy and Despret played well for the visitors. The same teams will play again this afternoon, tomorrow and Friday. The game tomorrow afternoon will be called at 4:15 o'clock."

The play was fast and clean and several of the double plays, and sensational catches at crucial moments, caused the fans to shout applause. The Gaints were the victors, the score being 8-5.
