GIANTS WON CHAMPIONSHIP
IN 1915
In the year Of 1915, the Miami
Giants were considered champions
of the east coast of Florida and the
Sanford team was considered cham
pions Of the west coast. The two
teams met to determine the cham
pionship of the state. They played
a three game series. The first game
ended with score tied at % after
IL innings. The second game also
ended in tie of IL after IA innings.
Miami won the third game by a
score of rs. Incidently, it was my
informer, Bristo Payne, ST., who
drove in the winning runs in this
game. With the bases loaded and
the score SIS, Payne laid down a
perfect bunt, which coupled with a
wild throw, resulted in two runs
being scored. giving Miami the vic
tory.

EXCURSIONS TO WEST PALM
BEACH POPULAR IN 1914

One fact that stood out in the
mind of my informer, which was in
directly related to the sports of the
old days, was the case Of the sud-
den popular excursions to West
Palm Beach from Miami at 800
round trip. 1t was during 1914 that
Dade County went dry" as far as
intoxicants of any kind were con-
cerned. It was a criminal offense
TO sell or buy intoxicants In
this county. But on the contrary,
Palm Beach County was stin wet"
Hence the constant travel of many
Miamians to West Palm Beach and
back was very common in those
days.
During this heavy travel from
Miami to West Palm Beach, several
of Miamis leading players moved
to Palm Beach County in order to
get in on the temporary boom that
was being experienced in that sec
ton of the state. The Miami Giants
temporarily lost the services of
some of the players in 1914 but they
soon returned and were in action
again for the Giants.
And now / want to go back and
tell about a player, a manager
and a never to be forgotten incident
which / should have told you about
last week.
James Jim" Grant of the Grant
family Of Miami. was one of the
finest outfielders on the Miami Gil
ants of 1918. He played for a
number of years with the Giants,
during which time he made a fine
record both in the outfield and at
bat.
Shortly after that double-header
of July 4, 1918. which was played
by four teams at the park at NV
18th st. and 1st ave, across the
railroad tracks, Robert Bob" STAN
Gil, who at that time had been liv-
ing in West Palm Beach, came
down to Miami to select some of our
best players to tour the state play
ing baseball. Among those selected
were Willie Duke" Slater, the late
DR. Robert Ford. Robert Johnson.
Make Taylor. James Grant, Bristo
Payne and a number of others.
Slater and Taylor did not go on the
trip.
The group went 10 Key West by
boat, for n series, and on their re-
turn trip to Miami according TO my
infOrmer, they went through some
of the most horrifying experiences
of their lives. The boat ran aground
on the return trip off from the
keys, and they were stranded out
there for more than three days BE-

THIRD INSTALLMENT

Last week I told you about Mi
his new baseball park of 1913 and
Msghlights of the men who repre-
hented Miami on the first team to
" known as the Miami Giants. This
eek, shall tell you about an even
newer ball park which was built
Or Negroes of Miami, and other in
&eresting points connected with this
Dew park.
Early in 1914 the same Mr.. Scott
Payne, father of my informer, whom
told you about last week, built
another new baseball park for the
nse Of the Negroes of Miami. This
new park of 1914 was located at the
spot where the present Seybold
Baking Company is now located, on
INV goth st. between 3rd court and
9Th ave. The park was fenced in and
Extended from Ord ct. west to about
4th ave-, and from goth ST., north
TO about 21st st. It was equipped
with bleachers and grandstands and
up to that date represented one of
the finest perks in this area.
NEW PLAYERS OF 1914
In addition to the line-ups which
I told you about last week, who also
played at the new park, there were
several other new players who join
ed the Miami Giants back i'm 1914.
Among these were: Sam Clark, Id
and CT; Otis Wise, p; Arthur "'ScOt-
ty' Scott, G and Id; Avoid Wanna
maker, p; and the two MascOts of
those days were, Vernald Few
