Flournoy, Willis p 1919 Atlanta Cubs No-hit purported Fe Cubans before a large mixed crowd at Ponce de Leon park, the Atlanta Crackers' home.
1919-6-08 Games to be played from Mon-Wed, 6-09 to 6-11.
"This is the first season that colored teams, with the exception of the soldier boys last year, have been allowed to play at Poncey, and there is a determination among the colored people to support their teams, which indicates that there will be a record-breaking crowd to witness the initial encounter on Monday afternoon. Most of the colored businesses will be closed in time for their employees to see the game and many white firms have expressed a willingness to allow their help to attend.
Besides the opportunity of witnessing Cubans in action on a baseball diamond and of seeing an exciting game, the Camp Gordon jazz band will furnish music and add to the entertainment of the fans.
On Monday the convalescent soldiers, both white and colored, will be admitted free. Tuesday will be ladies' day and there will probably be a double-header on Wednesday afternoon. A special section of the grand stand will be reserved for the whites. The colored fans are urged to bring the ladies out to see the opening game tomorrow afternoon as they will have access to the grand stand.
