Expensive Errors on Both Sides
The Official Score-Other News of
Local Interest in Townshend.

Weather conditions We're not en-
tirely satisfactory for base ball last
Saturday. nevertheless a goodly num-
Der of people assembled to witness the
game between Townshend and Raw
sonville at Reeds field. There was a
strong wind blowing. and considerable
suggestion of cold in the air so that
errors We're to be expected, The Wis
itors came first to bat, but there was
not much doing until the third inning
when Williams secured a life at first
on Togo's error Smith hit safely and
c. Landman struck out. r. kingsbury
was out at first but the other men on
bases moved UP a degree and scored
on NJ. Kingsburys hit Hosley failed
to connect and was the third out
Things began to happen at once in
the second half of the inning Rand
gained first through Williams's error
and w. Sparks was safe at the initial
bag only because Pier fumbied the
ball. Bush and Blood were easy outs
and the prospect for scores began to
fade away until Osgood picked out
one for two bases and Togo and ODER
both contributed singles. BY the time
Lawrence had tried for first and lost
it Townshend had four good ones laid
away against two for the visitors
The game was uneventful for the next
two innings. both sides going out in
one, two. three order Ambition as
serted itself again at the beginning Of
the sixth. F. Kingsbury. the first man
up, hit for two places and scored on
NJ Kingsbury's single. The next
three men went out in order but dur
ing the process NJ. Kingsbury brought
in Rawsonvilles fourth run. When
the locals came to bat Togo evidently
intended to make a hit, but c. Land
man was handy with his glove. so he
was out al first. 1t was no use how
ever for the boys had their batting
toys on in this inning and Ober. Law
renee, Phillips, Rand and w. Sparks
banged out good lively singles and
Bush sent one out toward the horizon
which was good for two bases. But
the umpire had vision and called
ODER out at the plate. and Billy Blood
had misfortune at first so the fun
stopped with only four runs to add to
the collection. Score, Jacksonville. T.
Townshend. s. The seventh inning
was uneventful except for a question
able decision. Williams was on first
and started to steal second just as
Smith made a foul tip. The umpire
did not hear the tip evidently for
when the catcher threw To second
base to head on the runner. the UNI
pire called him out. The visitors
sent only three men TO bat in their
half of the eighth but Townshend
claimed its usual allowance and the
combination of five errors and two
hits made the six runs easy to obtain.
In the ninth Hosley gained a life at
first on Lawrence's error. NJ. Land
man struck out. but f. Landman and
Pier hit safely and Hosley scored.
and before the side was retired f.
Landman completed the circuit. The
errors on both sides were expensive:
eight of the men gaining first on err
rors scoring. The batting of II.
Sparks. Ober and NJ. Kingsbury was
good. For the visitors. c. Landman
and Smith both fielded their positions
well. For the locals. there were not
many errors. and one of those was
on a difficult chance. Bush got a bad
bound in the eye during practice be-
fore the game. causing his eye to
swell badly. but played good ball new
ertheless. Following is the score of
games between the two teams this
season: Townshehd IL. Jacksonville 2.
at Reeds field: Jacksonville 10. Town.
