Negro Section Plays Well
The colored section of The
Times league is having some
tough battles. However, most of
them seem to be of the slugfest
type. An example of the batting
ability of the negro boys is shown
In the tussle between the Vikings
and the Columbia Cubs.
The Viking outfit took the big
end of the score when they met
the Columbia Cubs in their second
league match. The score was IS

the Vikings, stepped up to the
plate five times and four of five
crossed the plate. He gathered
four hits in all, two doubles. a
triple and fence-buster. But
the Columbia aggregation put
plenty of the markers across the
platter. Stewart, who is also a
shortStop, but on the Cubs team,
gathered three hits in five at
tempts, one Of which was a home
run.
The Joe Kuhels trounced the
Joe CroninS, II to 4, in loosely
