(BASEBALL.) Bidwell Park Mellenville. Thursday, June 11. Philmont vs Mohawk Colored Giants of Schenectady. Broadside, 61/4x10 inches; paper evenly, but darkly toned; small pinholes at top, faint dampstain at the bottom edge, not affecting text. Hudson, NY: Richards Advertising Co., (1931)
A scarce and fragile broadside. The 1931 Colored Giants featured catcher Buck Ewing. Ewing had played for the Homestead Grays, but was replaced by Josh Gibson in 1930. Ewing hit a home-run off Grover Cleveland Alexander, playing for the House of David in a two game series. When the Giants swept them, Alexander said of Ewing, "that's the greatest catcher I ever saw, white or black."
