[Pittsburgh vs. Chicago 6/13/1889] With a negro boy as a mascot, the Chicago team won an exciting, but poorly played, game from Pittsburg to-day. Early in the morning Clarence Duvall, the hearse colored lad who accompanied Anson around the world and who was summarily dismissed six weeks ago, consented to remove the “hoodoo” he had placed on his late colleagues. He sat on the bench all through the game. It is evident from his work to-day that he is the most valuable player in the club.
