MISS BROOKS IMPROVING.

season with the Philadelphia Giants,
and who has been holding out" has
written to the Philadelphia manage
ment that he is ready to join the team.
Petway, who is doing most of the
backstop work for the Philadelphia
Giants, is full of ginger and he does
a coaching stunt very much on the
Monroe order.
The Williams & Walker baseball
nine played the Elks at Ware Park last
week, and to the surprise of the big
audience they simply wiped the floor
up with the local society men. Bert
Williams on first was "all there" with
both bat and playing, and he made
several very good stops. Ship, who
played short stop for the w. G w.
team, was the most finished player on
the team. 1t is likely that he will
have try for an infield position on
the Philadelphia Giants.
Last Saturday afternoon "Chappy"
Johnson, the well-known premier
catcher, Unexpectedly dropped in at
Raymon Wilson's cigar store, which
was his first appearance since last fall,
when he stopped in to bid the boys
farewell before sailing to Cuba, where
he has been a manager of baseball
team in the Cuban League. Chappy
claims to have had the best financial
success he has ever experienced, and
judging by the way he was loaded
down with gold and diamonds, and the
brand of cigar he now smokes, there
can be no doubt but what Chappy's
claims are true Chappy says the sad
dest news he received from home
while away was the disarmament of
the Cuban XGiants, and while solilo-
Quizing over what would become of so
many veteran players who would be
compelled to seek a new field of en-
deavor, he resolved not to ignore the
Handwriting on the wall" but like
Jim Jeffries, purchased himself a
farm, where the coming generation
can sing to him that old familiar song,
"Old Folks at Home"
The lineup of the celebrated Leland
Giants, which is supposed to be intact,
by May 5, is as follows Andrew
(Rube) Foster, Captain and Manager;
Earle, Bowman and Gatewood, pitch
ers; Booker and Rat Johnson, catch
ers and change first baseman; Harris,
second base; George Wright, short
stop; Talbert, third base; Winston,
left field; Moore, Centre-feld, and
Payne, right field. Should this team
carry out their plans of invading the
East they unquestionably should re-
ceive the patronage of the colored peo-
pie, as it is strictly colored enter
prise, supported absolutely by colored
mems capital.

Moir is the champion of England

a sleep-producing punch when last

BOXING.

Bill Squires, the Australian heavy
weight, who came over to this country
with the expectation of annexing the
heavyweight championship, seems to
ne the man of mystery to the greater
number of fight followers.
Squires fought Felix on three diff
ferent occasions. Felix is a big col
ored fellow and a cousin of the great
Peter Jackson. Squires beat him once
in II rounds, once in seven and once
in two. Jack Johnson, the colored
heavyweight, who chased Squires to
America, knocked out Felix after two
minutes of fighting. Is it any wonder
that Bill came over here for his pick
ings?
If Squires will take on Jack John
son and decisively beat him the Ameri-
can public will look upon Bill as a
hero and call for a match with Jeff.
There is not white heavyweight in
the world who will meet Johnson, and
if Squires will break the ice he has the
chance of his life.

body but Cans, he doesn't seem to be
in any violent hurry to do business
with a flattering offer of a purse in
sight. Whether he is on the level, and
really anxious to fight Joe Cans,
should be determined in quick time.
Cans has agreed to fight the Dane
again. He has accepted the terms of
Tex Richard for return contest, to
take place at Ely New, probably on
July 4, and there is another offer from
Eddie Graney of $4,000 for a fight to
take place in San Francisco on the
same date. and now it is for Nelson to
say whether he is ready to give bat
tie to his doughty colored opponent or
is only four flushing. Nelson doubtless
will do the sensible thing. He will
urge his manager, Nolan, to agree to
abide by Cans terms. Nelson is not
half bad fellow On the contrary, he
is a pretty decent chap. But he is
misguided. Nolan is the drawback to
his popularity.

National Baptist Team Given a Drub-
bling by Fisk.
On Saturday afternoon, May 4, Man
ager Boyd lead his Baptist lambs to
the slaughter, and when the strong
team at Fisk let up and the smoke had
cleared away, the score was almost a
"skidoo," 10 to g The National Bap-
fist team was greatly handicapped, not
having had an opportunity to do but
little practicing Again, the game was
started without the regular catcher
and the pitchers were wild as March
hares. Manager Boyd started in to
pitch, but he has not located the plate
yet, but when he got the ball in reach.
my! oh! my! He was relieved by
Bowman who did much better after he
settled down. Fisk has strong team,
one that will give any amateur aggre-
cation a run for the money; and, too,
they have been hard at work since
February, so the Baptist boys should
compliment themselves on not being
shut out.
Despite the fact that Manager Boyd's
hummers" were showed under in this
game, he is not discouraged, but be-
lieves his team can deliver the goods,
and expects to develop the strongest
team the National Baptists have ever
had.
