|Pagetext=BASE BALL.-On Saturday last the Red Rover B. B. Club challenged the old Union B. B. Club to play a game of base ball; the challenge was accepted. The Red Rovers (school boys) are Loren B. Hastings, jr., Captain; Alfred A. Plummer, jr., R. F.; L. T. Seavey, pitcher; Nelson Lauback, 1st base; Isaac Calhoun, 2nd base; Daniel Hill, 3rd base; George Trenholm, L. F.; Cyrus Britt, C. F.; Frank Clinger, Short Stop. The Union Club comprised several gentlemen of the town. The score of the Red Rovers at the close of the game was fifty-nine runs, against sixty-eight by the Unions. The play of the Red Rovers was generally good, their fielding especially. It was only in the batting that the Unions beat them. Pull up, boys; you made the big 'uns sore, if you didn't beat them- there's some gratification in that. | |Pagetext=BASE BALL.-On Saturday last the Red Rover B. B. Club challenged the old Union B. B.
