Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 39, Number 91, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 July 1907 — The Coons Skinned Lowell. [ARTICLE]

The Coons Skinned Lowell.

The Chicago Giants, the colored combinatioirwhich played the Wheatfield Regulars here Wednesday, played with Lowell Mon day and skinned that town ten to one. Then they came down to Shelby Tuesday and played with the team there and the Puckerbrush fellows cleaned out the coons at ten to seven. The game was played under water however, and the coons had neither diving suits nor web feet and were tuns at something of a disadvantage. Their catcher also had cbe misfortune to break his ankle and had to be sent back to Chicago, and a substitute put in his place.
