BASE BALI.


Saturday last was i great day for the
lovers Of base ball Of this community,
and although the attendance was NOT IS
large aa il should have been, those pres
ent witnessed one Of the prettiest exhibit
tions Of base ball ever played on the
local diamond. At IS0 o'clock the
Townsend club opened the double header
with the Havre-de-Grace club, and
through q little loose playing in the
first inning lost the game, allowing the
Marylanders to score four runs. During
the remainder of the game Townsend had
many chances TO win out, but the much
needed hit could not be COTTON at the
right time, and Havre-de-G Grace came out
victorious by the narrow margin Of one
run-5 too. Myers pitched fine game
and should have won out, but the errors
made back Of him were costly. The
score by innings follows:
Hayre-de-G Grace 4 0 o 2 o o o o O-6
Townsend 20 O 0 2 0 0-5
E
MIDDLErowN, 2. HAvRE-DE-GRAcE, 0.
The second game was called at $50
o'clock between, the Middletown club
and Havre-de-G Grace, and was hotly con-
tested from start to finish. not a run
being scored up to the sixth inning,
when two of the locals got on bases, and
just in the nick of time, Hoover got in
his work with the stick and sent the ball
far out in centre field, scoring the two
runs, but was thrown out by trying to
stretch the hit into three bagger. The
scoring stopped at this stage of the game,
as Willis had the visitors chasing the
leather from start to finish, and only
allowed them two scratch hits. His
speed puzzled the eyes of the visitors,
and quite often Selvage would have the
ball in his NIT when the batter would
swing his bat across the plate. He sue
ceeded in striking out 10 men. Tie
locals give him perfect support, and got
several hot ones that looked like safe
hits The score by innings follows:
MiddIetown 0 90 O o 2 o O x-2l
Havre-de-Grace 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 90
