Default 1903 Scorebook with Cuban Giants games

Picked up another scorebook with a couple of Negro Cuban Giants barnstorming games along with games against the Chicago Cubs, the Chicago White Sox, a Spalding team and several dozen more games against local teams. This was the official scorebook for the Corning, NY team which, apparently, was a local powerhouse. The scorebook was a gift from the Spalding Company to the local newspaper reporter.

I've got another scorebook for the 1904 Norwich, NY team which also has a couple of games against these same Cuban Giants. The Giants must have hit every small town, several times, in New York during that time period.
