SMALL CROWD AT GAMES The Richmond Hill boys softball team are very much disappointed in the crowds that they have been gettâ€" ing to their games, the largest that has attended a game this year was aâ€" bout 25 people.

So come on fans let’s turn out to the games in the second series of this league and give the boys your SUP- PORT. a 1 run lead which decided that Rich- mond Hill would be tied for first place with Newtonbrook. In the first innâ€" ings Crean and Bennet each connected for homeâ€"runs with a runner on bases each time, and in the fourth innings “A1” White slammed out a homer. The hero of the game was “Mac” MacKie the Local short stop, who went to bat in the last innings with one out and a runner on second base connected with that old “horsehide” for a double which brought the runner in and scoring the winning run. Ben- nett was on the mound for Richmond Hill and pitched his usual good game while John McLean was behind the plate; Jacks started for the loosers but soon retired to Mert Williams who finished the game, with Charlie Proct- or catching.
