 Nothing Is so unsportsmanlike in baseball as having team which has promised to play game, fail to ap- pear on the date scheduled and the Royal Coored Giants of Hartford are back number in Plainville following their failure to show up yesterday to play their scheduled game against the Lady of Mercy team. It is evident that the Hartford colored boys were afraid of their reputation in meeting the strong aggregation representing Plain vile, and that is conceded as the req son the game was not played. The local youngsters have not been de- feated this season and they have met and conquered some strong hines. A large number of fans who had turned out to witness the contest yesterday were partly disappointed, but the last game made up for it somewhat.
