There was kéen interest in the game as Richmond Hill had already taken two straight from last year’s champions. The stellar pitching of Teddy Bennett featured the game which the Hill boys won by a score of 3â€"2. Richmond Hill opened the scoring in the second inning when Young scored. They further added to this score when Bennett crossed the plate to put the Hill two runs up in the fourth frame. Newmarket came to life in the sixth inning and before the side was retired they managed to tie the score at two-all. These proved to be their only counters in a game where there were few hits. In Richmond Hill's half of the inning Cochrane was the only runner to score putting the locals in the lead. Newmarket were unable to do any- thing with Benny‘s pitching in the seventh frame the game ending with a 3-2 score in favor of the Hill. ***>:<*>i<** Isa-oo-o *' CARRY YOUR REGISTRATION CARD Citizens had better check over their pockets to be sure they have their national registration cards with them to-day.
