"Well before many moons roll around our colored trouple known as the Omaha Giants will put on the heavy soles and beat it for the jungles. They have arranged for trouble in the northwestern part of Nebraska, along the waters in Iowa and all of Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota. Below is a list of gents that will represent the Omaha Giants: Wright and Wiggins, catch; Jackson, Williams and Ross, twirlers; Terrell, first; Hurt, second; Hargraves, short stop; Pick Bauchman, third; Red, left; Bair, center; Simpson, right field. Vasco Graham is the President of the Club and W.J. Ford holds the managerial reins. The Giants would be pleased to meet a few of our local aggregations before hitting the pike and would especially like to hear from the Council Bluffs Merchants and the Northsides. Gangs wishing to fuss with the Giants can get satisfaction by dropping W.J. Ford a card, care the Elite Pool Hall, 107 South Fourteenth street. At present manager Ford has three arguments booked with the Kansas City Royal Giants of the show me state for June 4, 5 and 6, which he will probably have to cancel as his crew will be nearer Canada than Missouri during the month of June. Down at Kansas City, Kansas, there is a colored crew with a Jack Johnson who is the whole works viz, Captain and manager. They have a baseball lot of their own called Riverside Park and when they play the pale faces they sure take in the shekels. On August 3, 4, and 5, the Atlanta Depens colored baseball club will be in this vicinity. Any logal team or surrounding burg wishing these dates advise Mananger Ford of the Omaha Giants and he will make the necessary arrangements or write to A. Moore, secretary of the Atlanta Depens baseball club, Atlanta, Georgia."
