The Colored Giants Outplay Local Nine

For about 5 innings, that ball game last Sunday between the local club and the Colored Giants from Yakima was a real contest. The visitors scored the first run in the second inning and were never headed, although the score in the fifth stood 2 to 4. From then on, the colored boys began to pull away, the final score being 10 to 4. Mooney, captain and regular pitcher, sent in a young fellow to pitch and himself played second. The colored pitcher did not seem to have much, but the local players had trouble hitting him consecutively and when they did connect, a black shadow would get in front or under it. The "Giants" had a fast infield, the shortstop and second baseman being about the classiest that ever played in White Bluffs. The home team played well until they realized they were up against the best club they had played this season and their confidence began to ooze out. From then on, the colored boys just cake-walked in, literally and figuratively. One of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a ball game in White Bluffs was out Sunday, the gate receipts being considerably more than enough to cover the sum guaranteed to the Colored Giants.
