DONE UP BY CUBAN GIANTS.

N. ii. A. A. Team An Easy Thing For the
"Colored Gemmen"-Scorc / 1 TO 3 In Fa-
vor of Giants-other Baseball News.
The Cuban Giants didn't do a thing
to the New Haven Athletic association
nine at Elm City park yesterday or
perhaps 1t was because the N. II. A. A.
boys didn't do a thing that they We're
so badly beaten. Let the reader gath
er his own impression from the score,
II to 3, in favor of ode cullud gem

The attendance was fairly good, there
being about $50 people in the grand
stand and on the bleachers. The Giants
are we'll known in this city for the pc
culiarly humorous coaching phrases Of
which they make use and yesterday
was no exception to their usual Gus
tom. Every man Of the New Haven
team was made the butt of their sal
lies, but the boys took it all in good
part. Finally getting tired Of jollying
the players, the colored men began to
make humorous remarks of a personal
nature to the umpire, George Fart of
Pittsfield, but he wasn't in the joking
mood and threatened to leave the field
if the remarks concerning him were
not stopped.
The Athletics went to bat first and
proceeded to cover themselves with
glory by going out in one, two, three
order. 1t became at once apparent as
soon as the home team took the field
that they We're not playing in the form
they did at Derby the other day. With
one man out the Giants soon filed the
bases, and then Cato hit out a fly to
right The ball was thrown in quickly
enough, but seemed to get lost in the
shuttle someway, and was not found
until all the bases had been emptied
and four scores had ben put down for
the Giants. run having previously
been let in by an error by Lauder
New Haven was shut out again in the
next inning, and not man got to first
until the third inning, when Sullivan
got as far as second and Dunno to first
The Giants in the second followed up
the work begun in the first, and slid
six more runs over the plate Thus

of turtle, but In the third they seemed
| to awake to the fact that they were
playing ball and from then on played
fairly good ball, but not by any means
| their usual game. The Giants We're
shut out in the third with only one run,
and that was the last they got in the
game, being held down in good shape
by the Athletics. Up to the seventh
| New Haven had not scored but in the
seventh Johnson hit out a good clean
one to center and got first. Dunno fol-
lowed with a light bunt but got first on
an error by Cato, while Johnson reach
ed second. A passed ball on an error
by A. Jackson let both home, making
the score II to in favor of the visitors
at the end Of the seventh.
In the first of the eighth Farnham
led out with a beauty Of twobagger,
and was advanced to third on a sacri-
| flee by Lauder Farnham finally scor-
ed on an error by Cato, making the
final score II to 3, as neither team scor-
| ed again.
Probably the reason for the poor
| showing made by the Athletics was ow-
ing to the fact that they were saving
their best pitcher, Johnson, for the
game with Milford to-day. Johnston
only played in the last two innings yes
terday and then at third base. Oar
Sullivan, Manager Griest's newly ac-
quired catcher, played behind the bal
yesterday and showed that he knows
the game all right. He made severa
