"Frank Leland's Chicago Giants vs. Rube Foster's American Giants. - The series which has started on July 2 at Chicago resulted in a tie after 4 games were played. It was a battle of pitchers between Cyclone Joe Williams and for the Chicago Giants, and for the Chicago Giants, Kansas City's Bill Lindsey for Foster's team, which has so far proven victorious for Lindsay. He has won both games in which he has performed. The outfield playing of Sherman (Bucky) Barton, formerly of the St. Paul Colored Gophers has been phenomenal, both his batting and pitching being the feature of the games played in this series. - Irving Williams."
