1910 Pensacola Giants

Stories are placed in order of the date they appeared.

April 16, 1910

Mobile, AL
"The Pensacola Giants beat us two straights, while we had no right to score, although we did in both games. Goldstucker has the best bunch in this section, to my judgement - a clean set of players in every sense of the word. Any club traveling down this way can find open dates with us."

Louisville, KY
"Baseball at Louisville. - By Jesse Palmer. - The Pensacola Giants ended their series of games with the Cubs Monday. All of the games were well played by the Pensacola Giants. In fact, the Giants have about the best team in the South, barring none. All they need is team work. The team won five and lost six of the games played."

"The Pensacola Giants are expected to arrive Sunday, August 7, after two successful months on the road. They have won a record that never a team in this country, either white or colored, has attempted to win. This record has been published in all the local papers. They went to Kentucky and played a game in which eight home runs were made in the first inning. A great reception is being planned for the Pensacola Giants by the people of that city. It will be one of the greatest affairs ever given in honor of a baseball club."

August 14?, 1910

Pensacola, FL
"Pensacola Florida Giants Home. - The Pensacola Giants arrived last week after a very successful tour of the road. They were greeted by a large crowd, which gathered at the station to see one of the best baseball teams in the country, white or colored, which made a record that never in all the history of baseball has been previously made. To Mr. Goldstucker is due great credit for having such a team to represent this city; and to the players are due credit for the work which they did down in the Blue Grass State.

They were very successful on their road trip, winning 29 and losing 9 games. Some of the boys have gone to their homes for the winter, but will be back next season to meet all comers. The boys have promised to be on hand for practice as soon as they are notified by their manager, Mr. Goldstucker, who is well-liked by all the players. They will do all they can for him when they are called upon. Patton, Oliver, Boots, Davis, Hannon and Scotland are still here, where they will be all of the winter. Mr. Goldstucker has employed all the boys that care to winter here. He is in the undertaking business. All wish the Leland Giants success on their trip to Cuba. All the boys read the Freeman and wish it success. Yours respectfully, John Smith, a Fan."

"Pensacola Baseball News. - Special to the Freeman. - The Pensacola Giants left last week for Mobile, Alabama; Moss Point, Mississippi, and New Orleans, Louisiana, where they will play a series of games in each city. - The boys have been playing some fine ball this season. Three of our players have been laid up for some weeks. Hannon, who has been sick since they arrived from New Orleans, is out again and will play with the team while it is on the road. Captain Oliver is getting along as well as could be expected. He received a broken hand while on the road. Hedgen is also getting along nicely. He is one of the local players of the city and has done fine with the Giants. The Pensacola Giants defeated the Moss Point Giants in three games at Lincoln Park. Some very fast ball was played by the local Giants. The Moss Points were very easy to win from. Lewis and Scotland were the battery. The Pensacola Normal School team will play the Mobile Giants next Friday at Lincoln Park, and there will also be a picnic at the park, given by the school boys. The Pensacola Giants will soon have one of the strongest teams in the South when they return from their road trip."

Evergreen, AL
"We played here 22nd and 23rd, winning the first day 8 to 7. The feature of the game was Boot's hitting, getting four hits out of four times at bat and scoring four runs. Also Hannon's playing at third. He made two one-handed stabs and threw the runner out at first. That would make Bill Bradley feel proud. One of Boot's hits was a home run. Turner, the youngster picked up in Mobile, pitched the second day, letting the Brewtons down with two hits. Rain fell during the game. Patton pitched the game here and Harris did the catching. We picked up Smith, a catcher, at Brewton who has an arm almost equal to Petway of the Leland Gaints. Scotland pulled off a couple of good plays, throwing out two men at first base on what should have been hits from center field. We are on our tour of the North. Our next game are in Selma, then to Montgomery, where the boys are anxious to play, as most of them live htere. Cobbs, Patton, McCoy, Harris, Hannon and Scotland played their first game in fast company in Montgomery."

They expect to be gone for the balance of the season. This is the first time Pensacola has had such a strong team. It is their first trip North. Keen interest is manifested by the people of this vicinity as to outcome of the trip. They will keep in close touch with the Freeman."

"We leave Tuesday, July 19, for French Lick for a series of games. We were to play the West Baden Sprudels a series of games, but after we beat the Cubs, Manager Taylor cancelled his dates with me after having me travel from Pensacola to Louisville, nearly a thousand miles. This is the second time Mr. Taylor has failed to stick to his agreement with me. It was most unfortunate, owing to the outlay of money and the loss of time. There should be some way in the future to assure visiting clubs or else the game will be hurt by indifference to contracts. We had bad weather all the way, but the owners of clubs stuck to their contracts. The boys send regards to Bud Davis of the Dixie Parks, Frank Duncan of the Leland Giants and William Goldstucker of Pensacola. Yours truly, Jas. Goldstucker."

July 23, 1910

Chicago, IL
"On Monday of this week the Chicago Baseball League passed a rule barring games between its members and all visiting colored ball clubs from now on, the rule being made to include the Cuban clubs that have been playing around the circuit the past two years. The rule will work very badly against the Stars of Cuba, who figured on playing on the Chicago League Circuit after the Cuban Stars left the city. This action means that the Chicago Leaguers will not play visiting colored teams any more in the future."

Paducah, KY
"First Eight Men Up Hit Home Runs Over Fence. - Paducah, Kentucky. - The first eight men up for the Pensacola, Florida Giants against the Paducah Nationals, both negro teams, each knocked a home run over the right field fence in a game here recently.

July 31, 1910

Louisville, KY
"In Sunday's double-header, Pitcher Smith pitched remarkable ball in both games. The Giants outplayed the Cubs in every part of the game. In the second the Cubs evened up things a little with West in the Box. The Cubs won the second game. The crowd got a run for its money and was glad to break even. - Notes. - If proper support had been given Benton in the first game, there would have been a different story to tell. Keep at 'em, Benton, we are with you. Old Nat plays to win at all times; goes after everything and is batting in good form. Woods and Emory are only playing fair ball. Wonder what's the matter? Benton, West and Griffin are a nice bunch of twirlers. All we need is a right fielder and another catcher. Haywood Rose is doing nicely at present. Let the good work go on. Get in the game, Wallace, old fellow. We know what you can do. Come on and give us a lift; now is the time. Watson seems to be rather listless at time. Wonder what's the matter with Pup? Bloomer Girls Sunday and Monday. Martin's playing at first gives general satisfaction and should be kept at first base. There is something loose somewhere. The present Cubs are not the Cubs of old. I don't know who is to blame. Oh, well, time will tell."
