Text	The Cuban Giants, who, by the way, are neither giants nor Cubans, but thick-set and brawny colored men, make about as stunning an exhibition of ball playing as any team in the country. Old-time ball players, who are perhaps a trifle awed and confused by the methodical and systematic manner in which some of the League clubs play, will have a revival of old memories if they go to see the Cuban Giants when they are really loaded for bear. They play great ball, but, outside of that, they do more talking, yelling, howling and bluffing than all the teams in the League put together. There is a sort of “get thar' spirit among them, which carries the spectators back a good many years in ball playing, and, from a spectative point of view, it is one of the best teams in the city to see., quoting the New York Sun
