Kari-Keens F~avoritcs
The Kari-Keens are ~favorites to win
two Of three games at least, because
OF their clear record against teams
such as the Sioux City Stockyards,
House Of David, Colored House of
David, and. Broadway Clowns. But

defeat and always has forced oppon-
ents to play great baseball to win.

strenthened his team greatly in the
series and the last week has had three
new men working with his clan in the
northern part of North Dakota. The
three new men on the Giant roster
are Young, former colored House Of
David pitcher; jackson, classy first
baser who has deserted the ranks of
the. Broadway Clowns to enlist with
Gilkerson; and Charlie Hancock,
former star catcher with the Cuban
House of David stars. :.
Smaulding, Young, and either
Whitworth or Harrison will get the
pitching assignments for. the colored
stars, though Manager Gilkerson has
not yet decided on the order.
