"Colored Giants Coming to Play Here Thursday - The Alexander Giants, colored champs of the west, come to town on Armistice day to battle Tom Downey's San Diegans at the stadium. The cream of the Darktown tribes, raked in from Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, Salt Lake, Los Angeles and points west, are touring under the technical name of Alexander's Giants. They made Vernon extend themselves to the limit to win over them a week ago sunday in Los Angeles and are press-agented as some fast pumpkins with the baseball. They come here thursday for a single battle, after which the San Diego team will pack up and go to Los Angeles to play the same team two games up there, one on Saturday, the other Sunday. there are two luminant colored clubs in southern California this winter - The Alexander Giants and the New York Lincoln Giants. The last named club, boasting 16 ball tossers, arrived in Los Angeles last Thursday. They came all the way from New York to spend the winter on the coast. Only recently they battled the Chicago American Giants for the colored championship of the world, and lost after a bitter fight through two series. These teams, made up of colored stars who could be in the big show but for their ebony skin, can be depended upon to make a great hit with San Diego audiences. San Diegans will recall the two visits of Rube Foster and his Chicago gang. Both Alexanders and the Lincoln Giants are ranked as better ball clubs than the clubs Foster brought west."

"Pitcher Lee Meadows on Mound for Locals Friday - Lee Meadows - San Diego's New Pitcher - With one exception - and that Grove Cleveland Alexander - the bespectacled genius of the pitching slab, Lee Meadows of the Phillies, is considered the best pitcher in the National League. Lee Meadows has been signed by Manager Tom Downey to hurl for the San Diego club Friday afternoon at the stadium, when the locals clash in the first game of the series with the New York Lincoln Giants, colored champions of the universe. The great right hander is spending a few weeks in Southern California. He was secured yesterday, the consent of Manager Cravath, of the Phillies, at whose home he is visiting at Laguna Beach, being obtained. Lee Meadows will hurl Friday and may take up the burden on the Sabbath as well. His reputation as an iron man is well known."
"Phillies Star Signs to Hurl for San Diego - Lincoln Giants Must Face Great National League Server in Opener - Tom Downey is going to spread a lot of class around the stadium ball lot Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The invastion of San Diego by big baseball talent is about to take place. Of course Sunday's attraction will head 'em all, for Tyrus Raymon Cobb, the greatest in baseball, will then frolic on the sand for the plaudits of the San Diego throng. Sharing attention with him will be the Nonsense Twins, Nick Altrock and Carl Sawyer. Any other time the presence of the Coast champions, the Vernon Tigers, would be considered quite a distinction. They battle the locals Sunday, and it is against them Cobb, Sawyer and Altrock will perform. But Downey has not stopped there. Yesterday he landed another prize beauty for his assortment of stellar diamond beings. This one happens to be Lee 'Spec' Meadows, the famous right hander of the Philadelphia Nationals, for the past three years given a niche as next to Alexander in heaving greatness in his particular league. Lee Meadows will pitch for San Diego Friday afternoon, when the Downey battlers open against the New York Lincoln Giants. Giants Come Friday - The Lincoln Giants, be it known, claim the colored championship of the world. They are on the West Coast to spend the Winter. They play at the stadium Friday and Saturday and then depart to make way for the Vernon champs over Sunday. Manager Downey plans to make a clean sweep of both series. With this in mind he is strengthening. - Wants One More - "I'm after one more big leaguer," said the San Diego manager this morning. "If I get him I'll be satisfied. I'm trying to give San Diego a winner regardless of expense, and I think the fans will be well pleased with our lineup for the coming engagements when we give it out."

"Downey's Outfit Loses Two Games - Lincoln Giants, Crack Colored Team, Beats Locals in North; Will Play Here. - They hung crape on us twice, and, believe me, they have some ball team." This is the word which Captain Tom Downey of the San Diego diamond artists sent here yesterday from Los Angeles, where his club was defeated 6 to 1 Saturday and 3 to 0 yesterday by the Lincoln Giants, declared to be the fastest team of colored professionals ever playing in the West. The Lincoln Giants will be here for a return engagement with the locals in Friday and Saturday games at the stadium, these games being a part of the weekend baseball program which will be climaxed near Sunday when Ty Cobb plays center field for San Diego in a game with the Vernon champions. "The Lincoln Giants will show the fans some baseball and my team must be at its best to hold them." was Downey's declaration. In the Saturday game the Giants beat 'Lefty' Thmoas. Yesterday they were outhit in the ratio of 2 to 1 by the San Diegans, but the Giants made three runs on their four hits and San Diego went scoreless on its eight. Hill pitched for Downey's club ysterday. Jesse Hubbard, recognized as one of the foremost colored pitchers of the United States, was on the slab for the Lincoln Giants. The Saturday and Sunday games in Los Angeles drew big crowds."

"Week Will Show Plenty Baseball - Lincoln Giants Will Be Here for Friday and Saturday Games; Cobb for Sunday. - What probably will prove the biggest program of baseball here this winter will be offered this week and the card will contain the big attractions of the season. These are the Lincoln Giants, a colored professional team of Los Angeles; the great Ty Cobb, the Vernon Coast league champions and Captain Tom Downey's local outfit. According to present plans the San Diegans and the Lincoln Giants will cross bats in the stadium Friday and Saturday, while Cobb will be here Sunday to play centerfielder for San Diego in the contest with Vernon. Although it has not been definitely settled, there is a possibility that San Diego and the Lincoln Giants will engage in a three-game series. It is definitely settled that there will be the games of Friday and Saturday afternoons and whether the series will be made three games and be begun Thursday afternoon has not been announced as yet. The Lincoln Giants are declared to be a whizz of a ball team. Jesse Hubbard, star pitcher for the colored aggregation, is reputed to have a world of stuff and in a recent Los Angeles game he had the Vernon Tigers at his mercy. Spottswood Poles, an outfielder with the Giants, has for several years been known as the colored Cobb of baseball. He is the club's lead-off man and is said to be a speedy fellow on the paths. Another star with the ducky outfit is Bill Pettus, who plays first. He has played ball here before, being a member of Rube Foster's club which tangled on many occasions in the old games at Athletic Park when San Diego boasted of the strongest ball club ever organized for regular winter pastiming."
San Diego, CA
"Tomorrrow the Lincoln Giants of New York, the big leaguers of the colored world, will pastime in this city, repeating on Saturday. They are out here to clean up. It would seem they are keeping the promise. Twice they have licked Vernon, and twice they felled San Diego. Manager Downey is so determined to crush the colored performers that he has secured Lee Meadows, the National League's star right-hander, to hurl against the colored hosts in tomorrow's battle. Cobb, too, would be in the San Diego lineup were it not for the fact he refuses to perform against players of color. Mr. Cobb is from Georgia. - These Giant Persons - Let a few words be said concerning these Giants. Their pitchers are Gardner, Ross and Hubbard. Gardner is a small person, but carrying everything in the pitching catalogue. He's full of tricks, and packs a wise head on his shoulders. Hubbard, his own tribe claim as their champion of champions. A right hander, with blinding smoke and an underhand delivery which is most deceiving. He makes 'em hit into the air, and can sure buzz them past in the pinches. A big fellow named Pullin does the backstopping. He can throw like lightning, and is death on base pilferers. The first sacker is Bill Pettus, a hitter of the Cravath type. Pettus is placed in the cleanup position. He will have the utmost respect of the San Diego hurlers. The real star of the Giants, however, is their shortstop, a chunky chap with kinky red hair. Downs is his name. Downs knocked so many hits down up at Los Angeles against the San Diegans that Compton, Krug and others claim he's fast as most big league short-fielders. Downs hits second in the batting order. The hit and run play is his specialty. He and Poles work this with great skill. Hill plays third. He's positively a thief when it comes to snaring liners and drives. Very smooth infielder. Spottswood Poles, the left fielder, is the big noise in this outfield: Left-hand hitter, fast and roams all over the pasture. There are others, but these are a few whom San Diego will have to work against."
San Diego, CA
"Lincoln Giants to Open Series Here on Friday - There is a hard row ahead of the San Diego ball tossers. Friday and Saturday afternoons they collide with the New York Lincoln Giants, one of the fastest colored aggregations of ball players in America. These frays will be played in the stadium. Realizing the strength of the dusky athletes, Manager Downey is in pursuit of additions to the home swatting crew. He hopes to sign two new nationally known stars by nightfall. The Lincoln Giants, since coming to the coast, have twice defeated the Vernon Coast league champions, and last week trapled Downey's men in a brace of conflicts. There's a record which speaks for itself. The Lincoln Giants are undisputed semi-pro champions of New York City and runners-up for the colored championship of the world, for which honor they were defeated by the Chicago American Giants. At least half a dozen of the colored demons would be in the majors if you could whitewash them. Jesse Hubbard, their right-handed pitching star, has smoke and a tunnel ball which has opposing batsmen blinded. He stopped Vernon with seven hits and kept them scattered all over the pastime. The shortstopper Bunny Downs, is a regular Moranville afield. He pulls stunts which would do credit to any infielder in the majors. He's a little fellow who covers an acre. Hill, the third sacker is a beautiful fielder and a fair sort of sticker. Spottswood Poles, the left garener, is considered to the be the best colored outfielder in baseball, while Bill Pettus, at first base, is a cleanup hitter who can knock 'em a mile. Manager Alexander of the Giants is bringing down a squad of 12 players. He intends to pocket the series if it can be done. Ping Gardner will pitch for the Giants on Friday, with Jesse Hubbard shooting them past on Saturday. Downey will give out his line-up tomorrow."
"Downey Clan Whips Lincoln Giants in Contested Game - Colored Tossers Dangerous Lot; Another Game on Today; Fans to See Cobb Tomorrow - Some ball team. Dangerous at any time. Full of ginger and fight. Working like a well-oiled machine. Contains several players capable of playing major league baseball. This is a thumbnail description of the New York Lincoln Giants, who were defeated by Captain Ton Downey's San Diegans in the stadium yesterday by a score of 4 to 3. The Giants will be back at the big bowl again this afternoon seeking revenge. Locals Get Early Jump on Visitors. - Not since the days of Rube Foster's invation of San Diego have fans 'lamped' colored players of the caliber the Lincoln Giants show. Thanks to a three-run lead which San Diego accumulated in the first frame and the homer by Jach Roche in the seventh, San Diego managed to eke out a victory, but a win was not certain until the last visitor had been disposed of, for the Giants took advantage of an opportunity in the eighth frame and made their three tallies. Downey did not have any weak organization to battle with yesterday. Neither did the Giants. It was a pretty game of baseball, and 'Spec' Meadows, of the Philadelphia Nationals, was in fair form. He had a lot of stuff, but could not get all of it working, for his arm was a trifle sore. Ping Gardener, working for the Lincoln Giants, also displayed a neat assortment and aside from the first inning, in which San Diego got the jump, he pitched satisfactory ball. Fans attending this afternoon's game will have opportunity to see Jesse Hubbard, termeed the colored Carl Mays of baseball, working for the Giants. Jesse Hubbard is rated the premier negro pitcher of the United States. He is a big fellow with back-breaking curves and mixes up his offerings with bewildering skill. Opposing Jesse Hubbard will be Elmer Hill. This young man lost a tough game to the Lincoln Giants in Los Angeles Sunday. They won on four hits, and so Elmer is extremely anxious to try his luck against them again. This afternoon's game will be called at 2:30 and the stage appears well set for another warm tilt."

"Colored Ace Will Fling at Locals Today - The colored pitching ace of baseball will mount the peak at the stadium this afternoon when the New York Lincoln Giants and San Diego combat in the second game of the series at 2:30 o'clock. Having been forced into defeat yesterday, the first sustained by the colored champions since they've been on the coast, Manager Alexander was prepared to shove Jesse Hubbard, the crack pitcher against Downey's men. Downey planned to use Elmer Hill for San Diego, although he might change at the last minute and send 'Speed' Martin, of the Chicago Cubs, to the knoll. In view of the fine game Elmer Hill pitched against the Giants in the north, it was practically certain he would be nominated. - Meadows Stopped 'Em - The Giants yesterday showed themselves to be a fighting aggregation. They made a great hit with the local fans, and but for the great pitching of Lee Meadows, the Philadelphia star Downey's gang would have been lucky to capture the contest. Meadows showed a world of stuff and had the Giants buffaloed until the eighth inning, when an infield bobble gave them life and they counted three runs which put them in striking distance. Roche Slaps Homer - The deciding factor was Jack Roche's home run into the left field bleachers. This blas carried a laugh with it. Spottswood Poles, the fleet left fielder, chased back of the screen, retreived the ball in time to make a play on Roche, but forgot the wire netting separating himself from the home plate, chucked the ball into the netting and almost was wounded when it bounched back to him. Ping Gardner pitched well for the Giants after a shaky first frame. Timely raps by the San Diego swatters accounted for three runs in the period. The fielding and hitting of Bunny Downs, the Lincoln Giants shortstop, was the feature of the game, asie from the pitching of Lee Meadows. Bunny Downs made plays yesterday which convinced the fans that the Giant managements is not boasting when they claim Bunny Downs the best colored infielder in baseball. Pete Compton carried his batting eye again and dented the ball for a pair of the locals' seven safeties. Compton has been hitting the ball at a .500 clip since joining the local club."
San Diego, CA
"Colored Players Vanquish Locals After Stiff Effort; Hubbard Tightens in Spots - It was a wicked contest at the stadium yesterday afternoon. The New York Lincoln Giants managed to get away with the long end of a 6 to 5 score after an arduous battle, thus making the series 50-50. A well-placed hit in a pinch in the ninth would have tied the score, but Gingiardi failed when put to the test and whiffed. Jesse Hubbard, the black ace, was on the hill for the colored clan. He was slapped hard by the home hitters, but tightened in the pinches and was thankful for some grand fielding on the part of his infield helpers. The Giants rambled off with a three-run lead in the first frame, reaching Elmer Hill with some opportune pokes which resulted in a parade over the plate. Hits by Spottswood Poles and Bill Pettus did the principal damage. When the second chapter cam around the first two duskies swatted Hill safely, whereon Manager Downey derricked the heaver and gave "Stubby" March, a local boy, a chance to stop the rivals, which he did. Mach showed a lot of stuff and pitched fine ball. He was steady as a veteran and made a big hit with the fans. Locals Break Ice. - San Diego broke the ice in the second. Hubbard apparently had them well in hand when Miner, the home left fielder, soaked the ball over the left field wall with Compton on the paths, thus being responsible for the two home markers. Safe swats were numerous during the battle and each of the pitchers had to "bear down" hard to prevent scoring at various times. Sensational fielding on the part of Franz Hosp repelled a bevy of dark skinned base runners from trickling across in the fourth, for the bases were filled when the shortstop made a grand play on what looked to be a hit from the mace of the powerful Bill Pettus. Hosp figured in three other fine fielding stunts before the afternoon was done, one a remarkable stop when Ginglardi tried for a double play at second base. Hosp made a one-hand stop and quick throw to Roche, which got the fleet Bunny Downs at that station. The Giants had previously added another counter in the third, to which they produced one more during the fifth stanza. Their final digit, which eventually proved to be the deciding run, came in the eighth as a result of Mach's error, a sacrifice and Ginglardi's error. Get to Hubbard - The home battlers found Hubbard in the fifth long enough to collect a pair of runs for themselves. The final counter came in the seventh. Krug got on with a hit, Compton walked, Roche singled and Bassler walked, forcing in a run. With the bases filled two gone and two relief Giant hurlers warming up in the bullpen, Ginglardi struck out. The rally in the ninth which for a time threatened to drag the game from the fire, started when Krug singled sharply to center. Compton against drew free transportation.

"Lincoln Giants to Play at Urbita Park - Will Tackle Sam Agnew's Winter League Team Next Sunday afternoon - One of the Best Teams in America. - Unless the weather man interferes, there is going to be a real baseball game on the Urbita Stars diamond next Sunday when the famous Lincoln Giants of New York will tackle the Urbita Stars. This team of colored men has gone through its schedule so far on the coast without losing a game. It is regarded as the greatest aggregation of colored ball players ever gotten together. Los Angeles teams, made up of national, American and coast league stars have fallen before this team of ebony-colored diamond stars and they are coming out to take Sam Agnew's team's number next Sunday afternoon. Jesse Hubbard, the great pitcher of the Lincoln Giants, is rated as one of the best in America. He ranks with Alexander and the other great stars. Chet Thomas, of the Cleveland World's Champions, who has played against the Lincoln Giants, says if it were possible to give the Giants a place in either major league with three other pitchers in the same class as Hubbard the team would make every white team in either league hustle. "The Giants would not be last," is the way Thomas puts it. These same Giants may play in Riverside on Saturday afternoon, December 13, if the game can be arranged by Manager Sam Agnew, of the Urbita Stars."

"Lincoln Giants Trim Urbita Players - Famous Colored Team Defeats Gate City Contenders 5 to 2 - Urbita Stars lost to Lincoln Colored Giants by a score of 5 to 2 in the first game of the Winter Season yesterday afternoon at the Evans Park. The full nine innings were played through a drizzling rain. Some splendid hitting was done by the colored boys which showed that their batting eyes have been well-trained by constant practice. Robert Footes, playing at second base, was the biggest hitter during the whole contest and succeeded in making two runs. Butcher, center fielder, scored one run, with the same number for Ping Gardner and Ross, playing pitcher and right field respectively. Lemon, playing at second base, and Jones, third baseman, scored a run a piece. A heavy bee-liner over first base in the last half of the ninth inning by 'Slim' Love enabled Lemon to romp to the home plate. The contest ended a few minutes later, with the Urbita Stars contenting themselves with two points against five for the colored boys. Good pitching from the standpoint of speed was done by Ping Gardner for the Lincolns. A good many of the balls failed to go over the home plate, however, or high above the batters' heads, or even struck the player. Several walks were allowed. Heavy hitting was done by the Urbita men but most of the good liners would not coincide with the chalked lines of the diamond, but few errors were registered. Following is the lineup: Lincoln Giants - Robert Footes, second base; Butcher, center field; Curtis, first base; O'Neal Pullen, catcher; Blackman, third base; Williams, short stop; Davis, left field; Ping Gardner, pitcher and Ross right field. Urbita Stars - Smith, short stop; Jones, third base; Poole, left field; Hudson, catcher, Payne, first base; Lemon, second base; Hansen, center field; Love, right field; Speak, pitcher. Another contest will be held today between the same teams at Urbita Park. The game will be called at 2:15 in the afternoon."
