"Stars Face Hard Game On Sunday - East's Best Colored Team Opposes the Locals. - Bacharach Giants of Atlantic City and the Detroit Stars will furnish the Sunday afternoon pastiming at Mack Park and these clubs, which are among the leading colored aggregations of the country, undoubtedly will show some worthwhile baseball for the fans. Either 'Cannonball' Dick Redding or 'String Bean' Williams will be on the mound for the visitors. These are the pair of moundsmen who figured in the 15-inning 2-all tie here in 1918 and no matter which is selected the hurling is bound to be well taken care of. Bill Gatewood or Bill Holland, the two faces of the Stars, are candidates for hurling duty for the locals. Last year when the Detroit Stars invaded Atlantic City, the Bacharachs had won seven straight games without allowing their opponents to score, but the Stars halted them and won two in three in the series. There are many stars in the Bacharach front, including Lundy, who is rated the best colored shortstop in the business. Sunday's game starts at 3 p.m."
"Rally In Eighth Gives Stars Game - Detroiters Score Four Runs In That Session to Win 4-3. - After trailing the Bacharachs of New York for six innings, Detroit Stars unloaded all their heavy guns on the visitors, with 'Cannonball' Dick Redding pitching, and won the most exciting game of the season, score 4 to 3. The Easterners scored twice in the second, getting to Bill Gatewood for two singles and two doubles. Another run was put over in the seventh due to Frank Warfield's error. Bruce Petway singled to open the seventh for the home team. Bill Gatewood walked and both advanced on Joe Hewitt's sacrifice. Frank Warfield's double scored Bruce Petway and Bill Gatewood. Captain 'Pete' Hill here turned defeat into victory, hitting the ball over right field fence for a home run. Bill Riggins, Edgar Wesley, and Cannonball Dick Redding were shining lights in the field. Bill Handy was put out of the game in the second inning for disputing a decision of the umpire."

This enraged the team so that a squabble resulted, much to the discomfort of the fans, who were hoping that the game would end so that many could get to work. Yet the Easterners squabbled and finally the men walked off the field. This is the Bacharachs last game of the series and it is thought by many of the fans that the longer they stay away from Detroit, the better the game will be. Dick Redding struck out nine men, but was hit hard throughout the game. The six hits gathered off Bill Gatewood were timely, three coming in the second and three in the eighth."

"Rough Stuff! - Actions on the Baseball Field That Should be Immediately Stopped - Baseball is and always should be a clean game, and no matter how hard the game or how hotly contested, the fact that a team is in the rear should be no excuse for the ill mannerism of some of the players. The invasion of the Bacharach Giants to these parts of the country brings to light some very unpleasant things that must be nipped in the bud. The life of the game depends on the patronage that the game draws from the different classes of people, who seem willing to pay to see good sportsmanship, but who are opposed to indecent actions. Sunday's game was marred by Oliver Marcelle's capers. Tom Williams uncorked a wild pitch, and Oliver Marcell, not standing in his box, came near being hit in the head. He walked directly toward the pitcher's box with the firm intention of starting a fight. This was prevented by the quick action of the players of both teams. He should have been put out of the game then and there, but for some reason he was allowed to continue. In the third frame he again went to the plate and was booed and hissed by the crowd. With his back toward the boxes on the left side of the grand stand he proceeded to make immoral movements with part of his body that would resemby a hoochy-coochy dancer. Again he was hissed; this time the hissing came from the boxes. Fans might stand for this sort of treatment in the East, but not here, and this class of player must understand that many of Chicago's best ladies were in those boxes, thus making it possible that he draw a decent living salary. If such actions are to be displayed on the field, it is far better that the player be either barred or that the team with which he is identified be kept from appearing in Chicago. This applies to other teams as well. The Bacharachs' trouble in Detroit, where the game was stopped four times, once taking 40 minutes before it could be resumed, has left the fans of that city with the opinion that the longer they stay away the better the fans believe they do not care to see them play if the fans are laying down their hard-earned coin to see such actions as they saw Sunday."

It was without quesiton the best game on the local field this year, and was taken by the Indianapolis club because of their slightly better batting, particularly with men on bases. That the winners were strong in the pinches is evidenced by the fact that they had only two men left on bases. Dizzy Dismukes pitched masterful ball for seven innings, not allowing a New Yorker to get beyond second, but he weakened in the eighth and was yanked after walking three men. Jim Jeffries relived him and walked another man, forcing in the first run. With the bases full, he fanned Bill Handy, but Namon Washington erred on Dick Redding's line drive to left and two more scored. The A.s opened with a run in the first. In the second, Henry Blackmon doulbed through short and scored on Namon Washington's single. The tying and winning runs came in the eighth.

"Demand for Umpires of Color is Growing Among the Fans - With the world aghast at the baseball scandal regarding the 1919 world's series and the gambler's hold on players to such a vast extent, we might call the public attention, particularly those of the Race, that our own game needs a little cleaning up as well as some radical changes. First, the majority of those who attend the games in various cities to the extent of thousands each Saturday paying prices that used to be charged in the big leagues, have from time to time asked the worn out question: "Why do eighteen men playing the game of baseball have to have one or two white men to umpire?" The answer is that the managers of these ball teams have failed to heed the wishes of the public that supports them and their team - in other words that put bread and butter in their mouths. In their greed and lust for the coin they have overlooked the fact that if the crowd diminishes, away goes both team and park, because no one can run a business at a loss and baseball has virtually ceased to be a sport - it is a business and has, at numerous times, been proven as such. The season of 1920 is closing. There are many things to be done in the winter months. The managers of the clubs belonging to the Negro Leagues of the East, West and South will have to come together and elect officers, make a schedule of games, etc. We suggest that the president of each league be some one else than the manager or owner of a team playing in either league. We suggest a series after the league's season has ended between the winning team of each league to find the national champion. A one-man, czar-like system is not going to succeed. This rule or ruin spirit is not going to meet with the approval of the fans, especially when the facts become known. We might hint that the national pastime among our Race cannot succeed without the proper support of the public. The public demand for umpires of color will get all the support of this paper. We know and realize that it would be utterly impossible for one or two gentlemen of color to undertake to go over and umpire the White Sox game, and what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, so we are adding that it is just as impossible for us to sit out at the American Giants park, or any other park where two teams of the Race are playing, and have two white men umpiring our games crammed down our throat. The situation must come to a stop. Any of us who have journeyed to the Thirty-Ninth Street grounds have often been disgusted at the work of the two regular white umpires behind the plate. A high school boy could do as good at times and at other times far better. There is no instance in this city of any paper or persons doing more for the game than the Chicago Defender and in seeking to improve it from the standpoint of satisfaction to those that lay down their "long green" we are out solid for Race umpires."

Smith and Harry St. Clair of Kansas City, Missouri mingled with the magnets, hoping to buy a franchise in the league. The following Sporting Editors were present, Ira Lewis of the Pittsburg Courier, Dave Wyatt, of the Chicago Whip, Frank Young of the Chicago Defender, A.D. Williams of the Sport World, W. Knox of the Freeman, Jackson of the Ledger, and Q.J. Gilmore, Kansas City Sun. The meeting adjourned at 9 p.m. Friday so that the visitors could attend a banquet arranged by C.I. Taylor and the business men of the city, which was the greatest gathering of prominent men ever assembled around a table in the Hoosier Capitol It was 12:30 when Rube Foster informed the baseball magnets to return to the Y.M.C.A to finish some very important business which kept the magnets busy until 5 a.m. Saturday. Chief Foster issued orders to be on hands at 9 o'clock, and when the roll was called all answered present but Tenny Blount of Detroit, and a committee was sent to escort the Michigan Magnet to the meeting. Tenny was found sound asleep in a taxi and informed the committee that he was afraid to go to bed. The meeting adjourned Saturday evening to meet next year in Detroit as the guest of Tenny Blount the owner of the Detroit Stars. Several important changes were made in the league for the next season. The Dayton Marcos were transferred to Columbus, Ohio, and will be known as the Columbus Buckeyes. The Cuban Stars go to Cincinnati, and will be known as the Cincinnati Cuban Stars. The Bacharach Giants and the Hilldales, will be the Earstern representatives in the league. Cleveland and Pittsburg will be associate members of the league this year, and regular members the following season. Andrew Rube Foster was reelected President and a regular schedule will be followed the coming season. The past season was a great success, and the league played to more than 700,000 fans. The league has been fortunate in securing for the coming season the National League Parks, in Cininnati, and Brooklyn, New York, also the league parks in Philadelphia, Colored baseball men of Cleveland and Pittsburg, have secured grounds and have started the construction of model baseball plants. The Columbus, Ohio team will use Neil Park, the home of the Columbus American Association team. Charles Mills, and his legal adviser, Judge Homer Phillips ahve started to enlarge the grounds in St. Louis and will be able to take care of 10,000 fans next season. Several exchanges of players were made during the meeting, and most notable one being the transfer of Jimmy Lyons to the American Giants. - Sidelights on the Convention. - The O'possum supper which was scheduled for Friday night, was held on Thursday night when word was received that Q.J. Gilmore and Harry St. Clair were coming. They arrived Friday morning all smiles, thinking of the o'possum supper but when Dr. Howard M. Smith broke the sad news the Kansas City men started out to find Rube Foster and C.I. Taylor, who satisfied Gilmore and St. Clair by showing them where the supper was held. Dave Wyatt, the dean of Negro Sports Editors, was on hand early to greet the other scribes on their arrival. Frank Young of the Defender, and Ira Lewis of the Pittsburg Courier have started for Detroit so as to be there in time for the meeting next year. Friday afternoon the thermometer registered 125 degrees during a certain discussion, C.I. Taylor and Charlie Mills succumbed to the heat. Yes, we all got rather warm but the big Mogul himself. Col Knox, the Dean of Negro Newspaper men visited the meeting Friday afternoon but had to leave, it was too hot for him. A.D. Williams, the Editor of the Sport World was a rather busy man during the meeting, yes too busy to take notes. He spent some time on the front porch with a very prominent young lady of the City. J.W. Connors, the big noise in baseball of New York City, and Edward Bolden, the Philadelphia Magnet, who have fought each other for the past five years, not even being on speaking terms, arrived in the Convention City together, and not only stopped at the same hotel, but slept in the same bed. We just could not believe it, and to make sure, we had a flash light picture taken of the two big eastern magnets while they slept. The picture will be published in all the Eastern papers. Negro baseball in the East is now due a great boom. The Bacharach Giants are now playing ball in Cuba. Oscar Charleston, Connie Day, and Morten Clark of the A.B.C.'s are in the lineup. Dr. Ward, who served as major during the late war and was the ranking Negro Medical Officer acted as toast master during the banquet Friday night. Attorney Ranson, the General counsel and Manager for Madam C.J. Walker Company was one of the chief speakers. Mr. DeFrantz of the Y.M.C.A did everything in his power to make the visitors comfortable during the sessions which were held in the "Y" building. Yes, the boys had plenty of good cigars to smoke. Thanks to Mr. DeFrantz. The Negro Press was given the use of the Associated Press wires during the meeting. Rube Foster left immediately after the meeting for Hot Springs, Arkansas, for a much needed rest before taking his team to Palm Beach, Florida next month. John Mathias, the owner of the Dayton Marcos should have brought someone with him to look after his interest, as poor old John slept during most of the sessions. C.I.Taylor lived up to his reputation, it was C.I., that kept us up in the all night session. The Indianapolis Elks entertained Q.J. Gilmore the Scribe from Kansas city, at the Union League Club. Most of the visitors remained over Sunday. John Connors and Edward Bolden left Saturday afternoon for New York. Gilmore left Saturday night for Columbus, Ohio to spend Sunday with his mother.

"Connors and Savage Disagree - New York, June 4. - From an authoritative source our sporting department was informed last week that the Bacharach Giants will not be seen in action again this season at Dyckman Oval. So the story goes, it was learned that the management of the Oval and Mr. Connors had a disagreement over financial matters, involving the amount of percentage to be paid his (Mr. Connors') team. Each faction declare they are right. For the benefit of baseball fans who travel to the Oval each Sunday to see the games there should be some consideration shown, but they are the least thought of. Some of these days whoever is wrong will learn their lesson. Then, maybe there will be better baseball in the East."

The Hilldale Club brought suit for a preliminary injunction to stop Dick Lundy from playing with rival clubs. Altogether it is claimed Dick Lundy signed three contracts to play this year.

One Time Hilldale Wins - Court Grants Temporary Injunction Against Ball Player - Judge Stern, in Court of Common Pleas, Number 2, heard the equity suit of the Hilldale Baseball and Exhibition company against James "Hank" Deas, a proceeding to have James Deas, the former catcher of the Hilldale club, enjoined from playing with the Bacharach Giants, a rival Colored baseball club. It was complained that James Deas signed a contract on October 28 last to play with the Hilldale club for the season of 1920, beginning May 1, for six months, at $150 a month, but he is now playing with the Bacharach Giants in violation of his contract. Judge Stern handed down an opinion late in the afternoon granting a temporary injunction restraining James Deas until final hearing from playing with the Bacharach Giants or any other club, than the plaintiff. The Hilldale company is ordered to file a bond of $2,000 to secure the defendant against any damages caused by the issuance of the temporary injunction. Judge Stern say in his opinion he is unable to distinguish this case from the Lajole case. Although the facts did not warrant the finding that the defendant is as skillful, or as well-known a player as was Lajole, the doctrine laid down in the Lajole decision is not confined to the very few players who are stars of the first magnitude. In the case of Richard Lundy, Judge Martin refused a preliminary injunction, sought by the Hilldale club, and continued the case until final hearing."

"House of David Nine at A's Park - Bewhiskered Ball Team Meets Bacharach Giants at Shibe Park Today - The barbers of Philadelphia have a great chance for revenge today. They can go out to Shibe Park this afternoon and root in their highest key for the Bacharach Giants. The reason for this is that this negro team from Atlantic City meets the greatest collection of whiskers ever seen in our well-known republic. The whiskers belong to the members of the House of David baseball team. These boys have never made the acquaintance of a barber, shears or a safety razor. They let their hay grow wild. They even coach it in its growing capers. Each one vies with the other to have the longest set of whiskers in the community. They are a religious sect from Benton Harbor, Michigan and clause A of Article I says: "Lay off barbers for life." Were it not for the fact that the House of David players are clean, sturdy and manly, they might be mistaken for the senior class of some Bolshevist prison. But those bewhiskered guys sure can play ball. Some of them would get trials in the big leagues were it not for the whiskers. They will make their first appearance on record in Philadelphia this afternoon, and will have their famous band along with them."

The House of David players appeared on the field wearing various lengths of whiskers and all had long hair. Despite their uncouth appearance they played good ball and the Bacharachs had to stop some to win the game. All the Davids wore chin adornment with the exception of the battery, Brogan and Phelan. This pair was as hairless as a proverbial billiard ball and it was said that they were hired for the occasion as the David's best pitcher. Mooney was unable to toss them owing to a lame arm."

"Whiskers Lose in Bacharach Game - House of David Nine Defeated by Negro Team, 4 to 2, at Shibe Park - Twelve thousand fans refused to take a day off from baseball with both the Phils and A's idle, so they visited Shibe Park yesterday afternoon and witnessed a unique game of the national pastime between bewhiskered and gentlemen of color clubs. The bearded baseballians didn't win because the negro nine made twice as many runs, the House of David team being defeated by the Bacharach Giants, of Atlantic City, 4 to 2. Fleetness of foot was a more potent factor in the Bacharach conquest than any prowess with the bat. Six thefts were committed by the sunburnt tossers, who managed to populate the base paths on many occasions as a result of having worked Southpaw Brogan, the beardless pitcher of the bearded team, for free transportation on eight different occasions. Brogan in a member of the House of David battery, consisting of Brogan and Phelan. Neither of this duo is connected with any tribe of Israel, except in a financial way. Bacharach deposited the first run of the combat in the opening inning. One down, Oliver Marcell beat out a hit to the bearded Falkenstein. He promptly stole second. Dick Lundy followed with a walk. Oliver Marcelle was nailed trying to steal third. Dick Lundy going to second, from where he counted on a single to left that ran from the ash of Elias Brown. The curious tribe from Benton Harbor, Michigan, tied the figures in the fourth, Tally. He did. Mr. Tally started his tally with a single to starboard, Phelan's lawn sacrifice pushed him to second, Brogan's single to right, his second straight hit, tallied Tally. It was in the fifth that the Bacharachs clinched the verdict. Though they registered only one hit, they managed to put two runs over the plate. Dick Lundy lead off with a walk. Brown bunted, but Brogan elected to throw to second. His peg was too late, and both hands were safe. Both runners advanced when Brogan threw past second in an effort to get Dick Lundy napping. Bill Handy popped to Williams. Brogan threw out Bill Pierce, but Dick Lundy was wide awake and scored on the play. Lico Mederos walked. Elias Brown and Lico Mederos caught the House of David asleep, working the double steal, the former scoring. The enemies of the barber trust counted their second and what proved to be their final run in the seventh. Veiritz inaugurated this session with the healthiest hit of the pastiming, a triple to right. After H. Hannaford fanned, E. Hannisford brought home his bewhiskered boys with a single to right. In the Bacharach seventh another run was banked. Oliver Marcell's double, steal off third and an infield out manufactured this marker."
