The football team is practicing

yearly budget was considered and
plans agreed upon. An educational

NEW BASE BALL CHAMPIONS SUFFERED MANY CAS-
UALTIES.
Brought Home The Bacon Just the Same. Many Of its
Stars Were on Hospital List All Season

he hit town having played all season
with the big time boys around New
York, Philadelphia, Boston, and 9TH
er eastern burgs and upon his ar
rival he was in tip top form.
Liston Jones, who has been past
timing in the outer garden
before Sloan's appearance was a
creditable fixture, he was not a
flashy hitter, but would often con-
meet with a timely bingle when a
run was needed, he was kept in re-
serve and in the Houston series, he
pitched one of the grandest games
of the season and got away with a
victory.
"Vash" Harris, the locals fleet
footed left fielder, played good ball
under a great strain. He was Grip
pied, but kept himself in the game.
He was a bear on the paths and
was treacherous with the stick. His
fielding was brilliant and far above
par
Reuben Jones, star outfielder and
guardian of the right outerfield for
the local clan won his spurs as the
Black Babe Ruth of the Colored
Loop. This bird has been instru-
mental in smashing the needy wal
lop for the bacon. His home run
drives have been timely this season.
He is a heady fielder and quick
thinker. He is considered the most
dangerous slugger in the loop.
Shanks, the local star first base
man has been a valuable asset to
the club all season. He has been
very sick at times but refused to
quit the game, he donned his span
giles and Jared the diamond. He is
fast and accurate. good bitter and
nice fielder, he was cool and con-
serve under fire. Jerry Williams, the
local keystone guardian, is a bril-
liant fielder, quick thinker true
thrower and a timely hitter. His
work at second, before his illness,
was the feature in many game. He
Is one of the games greatest stars.
Hamilton, the Giants regular
short stop, has been shocked to
pieces all season and that brilliant
work he is capable of doing fell
short on the fag-end of the sea-
son due to his illness. He is yet on
the hospital list. Joe Goodrich, the
Waterman of the corner, better
known as third base, is as fast as
they get to be. This bird very
often errored but went after 'em
on every side at any cost, anywhere,
any time. He is an accurate

The nineteen twenty-one cham
pionship base ball season is over
and the team favored with the
breaks has won the coveted trophy.
The Dallas Black Giants, although
hailed as the new champions by de-
feating the Houston Buffaloes in
four straights. Sept. 8, and 5 with
a double bill on Mon, won under a
severe handicap. The team suffer
all season many casualties and at
no time did the club present its
regular line up in a single game,
but with the wise generalship of
preXy Dave Johnson, the club sailed
gently along on sheer nerve and
grit and won a large per cent of the
games played.
The pitchers were going bad from
the effects of malaria, and the club
had to depend on the box work of
its rockies pitchers and between
times labored with a shattered in
and 0utfield and along the last the
outfield was rounded into a pitch
ing staff and to say the least the
venture was an effective one as ex-
ed to balance the machine.
The first string catcher Colonel
John Richardson was called to the
mound and after boy was equal to
the emergency. He kept his club in
the running all the way. Pitcher
Bell, the Giants heart-sider was
another of the locals main stay,
but his work at Beaumont and Port
Arthur put him on the hospital list
early in August and he remained
there until expiration of the season.
Big Fred Daniels was another big
factor in the heaving corp. Fred
had plenty of smoke in the major
part of the season and was a very
hard man to beat
Pitcher Baker, a rookie showed
to a fine advantage for a new COM
err, he turned in several wins for
the home bugs. Martin was anoth-
er recruit pitcher that got a chance
to show. f. Williams, better known
as Georgetown" drew the heavy
end of the back stopping and be-
lieve us this bird caught nearly
every game without an accident.
Georgetown filled the gap in grand
style and his hitting was con-
sistent On many occasions he de-
livered the timely drive that broke
up games. His work all season has
been commendable.
Sloan's return to local heath was
Joy to fandom. He was in trim when
