The article reads:
The colored ball team known as the House of David won an interesting game against the Avoca boys Friday by a
score of 12 to 7. In the ninth inning the score was 7 to 5 in favor of Avoca when a fly was hit to the field and in
fielding the ball the fielder stepped into a low place, falling and breaking his leg just above the ankle. When the smoke
cleared away the game was 7 to 7. It took ten innings to settle the game and the House of David ran in five runs in their
half of the tenth. Too bad!
