The Tippecanoe Canal Jumpers WIN HOME OPENER 6-3!!! In a well fought match with the Norwood Highlanders Base Ball Club, the Canal Jumpers scored 5 aces in the 5th inning to best the Highlanders. A perfect day for base ball, Tippecanoe didn’t disappoint the hometown cranks (fans). Our next match is Wednesday, June 9 at Carrilon Park in Dayton and will be against the Kettering Clodbuster Base Ball Club. Well played Gentlemen of Tippecanoe!

Also at our home opener we premiered our NEW LOOK 2010 Canal Jumpers circa 1860 uniforms, featuring our new red shields, which are custom-made, hand-sewn plastrons that are attached to white dress shirts with 10 buttons each.  This is more authentic than our 2009 uniforms, which featured red suspenders.  We hope that our new plastrons will be the envy of ballists near and far.

The Gentlemen of Tippecanoe Club Nine would like to express our sincere thanks to the Willowtree Inn for hosting this great Home Opener, and to Ms. Andrea Nay for sharing her wonderful photos of our beloved Canal Jumpers. We would like to express our sincere appreciation for her photographic talents.  For more information, please visit our website at www.tippecanoecanaljumpers.com or follow us on Facebook!
