"A Great Baseball Team - The Best Ever. - Chicago, Illinois - Manager S.S. Gordon, the old reliable, and ever-wide-awake Catcher Robert Gilkerson, of W.S. Peters' Chicago Union Giants, are as busy as bees these days trying to perfect a baseball club which can not only retain the standard the club has set since their reign as managers, but one that will add glory and fame to the great name of Chicago Union Giants, the oldest colored club in the United States. A large and enthusiastic meeting was held at the home of Captain Robert Gilkerson and several new faces were present, eager for a chance to try for positions on the club lineup. Among the new material, who have reported in great shape, are Simpson and Boles, two left-handed first basemen, who will try hard for a regular berth on the 1912 team. J. Golish, a new recruit, is trying for a place at third base. Armstrong, the St. Paul Gophers' reliable catcher, will help old warhorse Gordon to cut off the men from pilfering bases. Jenkins and Ramsey Lee, who have returned from different winter resorts have reported in great shape. The outlooks is great for the Union Giants. Manager Gordon's and Captain Boh's men play in St. Louis on April 7 (Easter Sunday), on April 13 and 14 they play the South Bend, Indiana Central League team, on April 24th the Milwaukee Lake Shore League team at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and on April 28 they will play the Racine, Wisconsin Wisconsin-Illinois League team at Racine. Captain Gilkerson will play several games for the first two weeks in Chicago and vicinity, then the Unions will take an extensive eastern trip through Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York, thence back through Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Manager S.S. Gordon and Captain Gilkerson are very optimistic over the prospects of a great season for Peters' Union Giants. We would like to hear fro all live clubs. - Captain Bob Gilkerson."
