The Royal Giants of Brooklyn are the best of the colored semi-pros and are known throughout the country for their brilliant playing. Their pitching staff is composed of such stars as Redding, Wickware, Dismukes and Wade, and this quartet forms the strongest staff of its kind in the country. Redding, with twenty-five strikeouts in one game, holds the world's record. He also holds a 3-to-2 victory over the New York Gaints, the champions of the National League.
