BLACK BARONS ARE
BLANKED BY RUBE
FOSTER’S GIANTS
Double Header Today At
Rickwood—First Game
Starts At 2:15
The Black Barons cracked in the
pinches Tuesday afternoon at Rick
wood field and Rube Foster’s crew
of Chicago American Giants adminis
tered the first shut-out beating that
the local negro nine has received dur
ing the season. The final count was
7 to 0.
The Black Parons and Giants play
a double-header this afternoon at
Rickwood, starting at 2:15 o’clock.
The double bill today resulted from
the tied game Monday. The stands
were packed to capacity Tuesday but
the largest crowd of the series is ex
pected to witness the bargain bill
today.
Costly errors and two badly hand
led plays due to poor judgment was
in a large measure responsible for
the Black Barons’ defeat. However,
another factor, and the largest one,
was the pitching of Strong for the
G:ants. He gave up seven hits dur
ing the game but never a pair came
in the same inning until the ninth
when he was well out of danger.
