ToWnshend 5, Jamaica I.

An interesting game of ball was play
ed on the home grounds Saturday af-
ternoon by the Townshend and Jamaica
teams, Townshend winning to 1. 1t
was the first game of the season for
the locals, but they put up a snappy
game all round, making but two errors.
Benson pitched for Townshend and was
very effective throughout the game, al
lowing but six hits. Bemis and Land
man did the twirling for Jamaica,
neither of them was hit at all hard.
The local team played with more dash
and confidence than their opponents, es
pecially in base running. The Jamaica
boys, however. look like the best team
that town has mustered in several
years. They played a clean, sportsman
like game, doing it all with their hands
and brains and not with their mouths.
Gentlemanly conduct is always appre-
ciated by the best supporters of the
game. Nothing but pleasant things
were said of the visitors. They will,
no doubt, give their visitors a hard tus-
sic in the return game The score.
