PORTLAND'S GIANTS OF 1911. are intermingled in the various we hav;, here an excellent likeness of the Giants or two years ago - the classiest collection that ever sported the spangles of a colored club 1n the Pacific Northwest.

Most of these players were graduates of good teams in other parts of the country, and being amenable to dis· cipline, played under such a complete code of signals as would be almost unbelievable to one not knowing, vith perfect unders tanding be– tween batters and base runners. However, t hey had no strength to spare, and as the players drifted away from town, the team went to pieces, and although Pitcher John– son and First Baseman Pierce, who is also a catcher, or the American Giants, who played out here last spring, were willing to stay h er e and help Manager Hubbard build up another club that would do credit to these parts, except for a couple of halt-hearted attempts, nothing like this club has been approached, and but three of this great team now make l'ortland their home.
