The train from the north last Monday
was q little late, but it brought back an
enthusiastic crowd of local sports from
the baseball game at New Rockford, and
they had with them the handsome silver
cup which represents the amateur base
ball championship of North Dakota. The
Jamestown club won it with rush by a
score of II to 4, after one OF the prettiest
games of the season. A purse of $50 q
side was also up, which sum the boys
likewise secured as trophy OF their
valor on the diamond field. They report
an elegant time and speak highly of the
New Rockford team, Notwithstanding the
failure of the latter organization to &C.
cept the result gracefully and provide
the creature comforts appropriate to such
occasions. The boys from this city are
not unreasonable-hsvlng won all the
money in sight, they could not expect
the New Rockford fellows to borrow he
price of a supper for ten men. Betting was
INDUCED in to great extent and large
amount of New Rockford currency Is in
circulation in jamestown to-day.
The cup won by the jamestown club
Friday afternoon, was first played for
at La Moure on Friday, August "a, 1888,
at the opening of the Leland hotel,
and was presented to the jamestown
club at that time by the Hon. E. p. Wells
In 1890 the Melville club came to this
city and carried the cup away owing to
Jamestown's failure to maintain a regu.
larly organized club that season. At the
opening of the present season, New
Rockford won the cup from Melville. and
held 1t against all comers until the game
of Friday. 1t is a handsome prize,
appropriately inscribed as above set
forth, and the local team is justly proud
of their success in again securing DOS
session Of it. The cup has been placed on
exhibition in one of Strong & Chase's
windows. 60. - :,

town to witness the game were CA. Klaus

David Carnigan. Perry Carnigan and Ed.
Nolan. A large delegation also went
from Darlington, many ladies being IN
the party, and all carrying flags. It was
jolly crowd and interest in the contest
was at high pitch. The regular trains
were held to accommodate the visitors,
who reached home at $50 last night.
There is great hostility between the
Darlington and New Rockford ball men,
and Darlington boys took home some
$500 OF the New Rockford wealth, while
Jamestown's hackers got S40O or $500
themselves. The New Rockford men
we're game enough to bet on their team
early in the game, but weakened after
wards. The guying that New Rockford
got from their Darlington rivals was
something awful, it is said.
