The First Meeting Befween the Gu
han Ball PLAYERS.

=
There is a big treat in store for the ball
players in this city and those who have
patronized the games during the past sea-
son. On Saturday the ground of the
Pacific Athletic Gu on Johnston avenue
will be the scene of the greatest contest
of years on the local diamond. For more
than two years the Genuine Cuban Giants
and the x Cuban Giants have been at
Odds. This has been ever since the di-
vision in the regular team, which result
ed in the formation of the x Giants, ana
they have never lost the opportunity to
roast the other whether on the field or
off of it. During all this time the clubs
lave opposed all offers to bring them to-
gether, until at last they buried their
prejudices and consented to decide their
long disputed ability to excel the other
on the diamond. Both teams have made
the finest kind of records during the sea-
son and have followed each other pretty
closely all over the Eastern and Western
circuits giving exhibitions against the
strongest minor league teams, and the
season has ended with percentages about
the same and they are now keyed up to
have it out to a finish. They have agreed
to play three games and the money of all
is to be pooled and the team winning two
will get two-thirds of the net receipts.
The very strongest players will be put
forth by each side and the famous coach
ers of both teams, Clarence Williams and
Robinson. will be seen to the very best of
advantage, as there is something more
thar the usual empty honor of a victory,
as it will carry with it a large surplus of
