The following is the score: [box score follows; Black Hawks 47, Temperance 43] … A very interesting game of base-ball was played on the Newtown Grounds on Saturday afternoon, August 7, between the Black Owls (colored), of Africa, and the Alers (white), of Plainville.

He made some very fine plays, muffing only one fly, the first of the season. His fielding was very fine; also his heavy batting was a fine feature of his playing, making a home run in the last inning, and has not been heard of since. The following in the score: [Black Owls 41, Alerts 16]
