EBONY HU|EED BOYS,
Fastest IN STATE,
PLAY HERE SUNDAY
PETERS TO BRING HIS OLD TIME
STARS HERE FOR DIAMOND
BATTLE WITH pUNN's CRACK
AGGREGATION.

One Of the toughest arguments OF
the season will be threshed out next
Sabbath afternoon, when Peters
ebony hued Chicago Giants knuckle
down In a nip and tuck battle with Man
ager Dunns Ottawa Cubs. The game
no doubt will be one of the fastest and
most thrilling ever staged on the local
lot go far this season. Peters, mana
ger of the colored club, has submitted
lineup of his team to local head.
quarters and according to the dope
circulated, his aggregation Is capable
Of giving the locals a tough going
over
Bingham, famous colored outfielder,
noted throughout the central states as
a baseball comedian and star is includ-
ed In the lineup, and he alone is worth
the price Of admission. Last year
Peters team with Bingham on the
lineup appeared here on three differ
ent occasions. In the initial game
of the season the dark Completed
lads trounced the locals by handy
score. Later in the season, Bingham
and his pals appeared here and were
given a double defeat, July and 5.
Bingham will furnish the local fans !
with some real amusement. He is also
wonderful baseball player and
practically every colored aggregation,
including the fastest have been trying
to obtain his services. He is mighty
slugger as was evidenced when he
played here last season.
Peters will bring three pitchers and
an extra catcher to Ottawa next Sun
day to down the locals His mainstay /
on the mound is Ball, former Chicago
American Giant star. Ball will proba-
bly, start the game against Lynch and
If he is in his old time stride a severe
pitching duel can be looked forward
to.
Should the mighty colored twirler
fail to hold the locals Peters will have
Wilson and Hall on the bench, ready
to relieve the starting mounder. Both
Wilson and Hall are equally as good
as Ball and 1t is probably only a mat &
ter of choice which one Peters will {
start.
Nevertheless whichever one he
starts, the locals will have to go at a
mighty pace to outstep Peters outfit.
Last Sunday they. administered the
Rochelle aggregation a to 3 defeat
on the Rochelle diamond. Sundays
defeat was the first one for Rochelle q.
this season and they have been play
ing some very fast clubs. The honor
OF handing the Rochelle club their
first defeat of the season Is something
to be proud of and Peters must be, as
he featured it in letter recently sent
to Dunn by him. t
Manager Dunn also stated that al ,
though his schedule is filled to the
brim, and he has games booked late =
into the season, applications for n
games from surrounding teams are d
still pouring in at headquarters. Yes i
the Plano manager, who is represent +
ed by the famous Chicago Armour's q
and from Manager Naperstek Of the
Chicago Hawthornes. were received

that possibly game might be sched' {
uled with the Plano club but that q
there was no chance for another Otta- :

were not given any particular atten-
ton AS yet no games with Fairbanks r
