One of the libraries I use recently acquired Diario de la Marina on microfilm for the years 1909 through 1930. This will give me an easily-accessed second newspaper source for those years—and, from what I’ve seen so far, its baseball coverage was much more lavish than La Lucha’s during 1915-1920 or so.
Here’s the first result: I’ve been able to finish off the 1915 Indianapolis ABCs series by adding the one game that had been missing (an 8 to 1 win by Almendares). There are also a few other minor corrections.

Next up (for the week after next): the 1914 Lincoln Stars series, where there are some discrepancies between the scores I found in La Lucha and those in Figueredo’s Cuban Baseball.
