 coIored Giants Coming For Game.
 Something big in baseball has been arranged for Putnam fans by the man. agement of the local team. Next Sun day the CoIored Giants of New Haven will be here to meet the Putnam team on the old Fair Grounds, where a splendid baseball field has been de- veloped.
 The New Haven team that comes here Sunday is made up of dusky players who claim the title of New England champions Their record for 1916 season was 43 games won out of 4 played, which was going some, especially agairst the teams of class that took the beatings.
 The Gusky players have in their lineup spme of the greatest players in baseball. and cnly the drawing of the colnr line kecI's them out of the big show in baseball.
 Such a wonderful nurler as Cannon ball Bedding, who has pitched here several times during the past three years, is authority for the statement that Culver, shortstop of the Colored Giants, and who will be fin the lineup here, is the greatest man in his posi- tion in baseball, barring no star how ever great.
 The Putnam players will have their work cut out for them Sunday, but they expect to go right in theri and bring home the bacon.
