"The Negro Baseball Teams - In the past five years the Negro baseball teams have advanced 100 per cent, in every way. Last year there was organized among some of the big eastern cities a league consisting of fast colored ball teams. And after the organization had gotten under way, it has proved to be a paying proposition to the owners and managers. There are players on some of the fast eastern teams that receive salaries as high as $300 per month. And they are playing different cities, the same as the big white league teams. The main Negro league teams for this season will have the Chicago Giants, Leland Giants, St. Louis Giants, West Baden, New York Giants, Cuban Stars, and the Stars of Cuba. And they all have the support of the people."

"Regained Strength. - This spring, White has regained his old strength and has been pitching semi-pro ball around New York. He held the strong Cuban Giants to one hit last Sunday and this was brought to the attention of Griffith. Yesterday he reported at the ball park and did so well that he was signed immediately. He may pitch the morning game tomorrow."

"Colored Players Outclassed by Bennington - High School Pitcher Held Them to Three Hits - Score 9-2 in Ragged Game - Both Teams Played Loosely in the Field but Bennington Errors Were Not Costly - John Scott, the Bennington High School pitcher, was pitted against the Cuban Giants at Morgan Park yesterday afternoon and won his game handily by a score of 9 to 2. The colored players have made reputations as heavy hitters but they didn't show much of this class against the young pitcher. The colored men tried the bunting trick on Scott in the second inning and filled the bases, but sharp fielding put them away with a single run. In the seventh inning a three-bagger and a sacrifice fly scored their second and final run. Both teams fielded rather loosely but the misplays of the colored players came at the right time to help out the scoring of the Huckleberry bunch. Carolan and Shea each made two hits and each had an extra base to the credit of his stick. Connors, Eastman and Scott each secured singles."

"Defeated Cuban Giants. - Last Home Game Was Easy Victory for Bennington. - The Bennington baseball team defeated the Cuban Giants 6 to 1 at Morgan Park Saturday afternoon in the last home game of the season. The colored players had demonstrated on Friday that they were not in the Berkshire League class and Bennington was expected the win from the start. In the fifth inning the Bennington team bunched three infield errors and enabled one of the colored gentlemen to make the circuit but that was all there was to it so far as the Giants were concerned. Carolan lead the batting for Bennington with a triple and two singles. Shea made three singles, Prindle got a three-bagger and Kenny, Connors and McCrehan hit for singles."
Fairmont, WV
"Cubans Won. - The Cuban Stars baseball team defeated the Fairmont colored team at Traction Park yesterday in a poorly played game, 19 to 2. The absence of Chick Meade, the star Fairmont colored player, now with the Cuban Giants proved a great detriment to the playing of the local negroes and was a big factor in their defeat. A good sized crowd saw the game."
