The second game will ,.be played in Strat- ford en Saturday afternoon, and if a third game praxes necessary it will be ,played at Hensall the following Wednesday aifternoon. Opposed to Marks was the ace ,hrurler orf the Hen- sall team, Kerslake, who allowed four more hits than (Marks, and was net accorded nearly as good support as his rival mound'saman. In all Hen- sall babble six chances, while the "Bees" messed up (but one, Kerslake managed to weather the storm until the eighth inning when he was re- placed by Howe, who proved no ;puzzle for Stratford, as they counted three more ,runs in the ninth frame. A Garrison Finish Neither beam managed to score in the first inning, but in the second ISt raltford lcalme (through with one, only 'to have Hensall reply with a pair. 'Stratford could not add to their lead in the thiird, but, Hensall counted another, giving' them a 3-1 edge, which speedily diminished when Stratford counted two irdore in the fourth. ,From then on Hensall fail- ed to register again, (but Stratford broke out in a rash in bhe eighth to take the lead with two [wore runs, ,during which rally, ,Kerslake was der - !ricked and Howe assumed the ,pitch- ning role. If anything Howe famed worse than Kerslake . as the "Bees" ohalked ulp three :more runs in, the ninth before the side was retired and with that lead Marks was prattieal- ly innrineilble. •The hearee bitters of the ,Stratford team4ishowed their[ real strength as Barclay[ clicked for e triple and dou- ible.

The River Rats collected three more off Ross Rennie in the fifth to make the score 14-10 and another in the fifth foe their total of 15. The Merchants scored one in the fifth, another in the sixth, two in the eighth and one in the ninth to tie the score. 'Hits were plentiful throughout the game and errors also. T. Taman, E. Rennie and B. Rennie got ,hdm5rs for the 'Merchants, and G. 'Rennie, C. Trott and Rex McGregor for the River Rats. Two -base hits were com- mon and a few three -baggers. , 'Sam. Rennie had only tare' strike outs and Rose, one. Both pitchers were hit all over the field.
