"Declares Neal to be the Best Third Baseman. - Says That Black Man Really Has No Equal. - Buston, Iowa, July 18. - To the Editor of the Freeman. - Sir, in traveling through the country and being quite a baseball fan, I have found one of the best third basemen in the country, if not the best. He is a black man and therefore I cannot use him, so I will recommend this player to the colored magnates. The gentleman I refer to is Mr. George Neal, who opened the season with Tobe Smith, manager of the Kansas City Kansas Giants, and was called home on account of the illness of his wife. He told me he would not go back to Mr. Smith this season, as he thought the season too near gone to resume, but would play with Mr. Smith the season of 1911 if the inducements were not too strong against Mr. Smith. Already he has had several bids that are more than what he received at the hands of his former manager. All I can say is that if Mr. Smith lets that man get away he is a very poor manager. But look out, Mr. Smith, or Young of the Oklahoma team or the wonderful Rube Foster or some one else might nab him before the season is gone. Old Scout. Buxton, Iowa."

"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."
