BASEBALL IN NEW HAVEN.

New Haven Team-Last Weeks Games
The Games This Week.
The Cuban Giants made their appear
ance here Saturday after flaming a
number of victories on the read from
New York to Maine. This colored club
plays no poor game, by any means,
which was demonstrated by their clev-
er work Saturday in the number of fine
plays they made, and the team that
beats them will have to play ball from
start to finish. The New Haven club,
which was formerly called the Steers,
heard of the coming of this great ag-
gregation, so to get in condi ion they
pastured on the choicest grass of the
Hubinger estate, and when they start
ed in on the famous Giants the horns
of the Steers plowed deep into the
ground, tossing the Giants here and
there from horn to horn, stan ping, bel
lowing and tearing up the earth with
the inanimate bodies of the former Gil
ants, and when last seen of the colored
brigade they were looking liEa pigmies
instead of Giants after their encounter
with the terrible Steers. The game re-
suited Is to in favor of the New Ha-
Vens.

ven boys will show their adj .irers that
they are fast enough for ihny minor
league and will give Springfield bat
tie royal in the two gamesi SPRING

strong and try to show the difference
in the two leagues, Atlantic and East

So far the games are in favor of the
Atlantic. Newark has beatea Syracuse
