MANCHESTER AGAIN 
U. S. S. Vrretntra NINE VICTIMS IN 
SECOND GAME OF SEASON BY 
13 TO O SCORE, 
Manchester repeated the perform- 
ance of the Memorial Day game by 
taking a second easy victory last Sat- 
urday afternoon. The nine from the 
Battleship Virginia were the victims 
of the slaughter and the score was 
13 to o. If the navy boys were not 
better fighters than ball players they 
would have to travel to whip the 
Swiss navy—or Alex. Sjorlund’s 
Swedish navy. Manchester got 17 
hits in eight innings—four three-bag- 
gers and four doubles with an ample 
sprinkling of singles. 
There was nothing particularly ex- 
citing about the game except the way 
Manchester slaughtered the offerings 
of the navy twirler and the ease with 
which Grover and Woodman ban- 
ished their batters from the plate. 
The first and only hit Uncle Sam’s 
boys got was in the ninth when Wood- 
man let up a little. 
Both the Wednesday and Saturday 
games were preliminary to the real 
opening of the season and served to 
try out some new players, one of 
whom, Woodman, is sure of a berth. 
The real opening of the season will be 
tomorrow when St. John’s Literary 
institute will be the opponents of the 
local nine. Devlin and Shean will ar- 
rive for this game and it promises to 
be an interesting session. St. John’s 
held Marblehead to a 3 to 2 game the 
other day, which is enough recom- 
mendation in these parts.

REGISTRATION DAY 
SS 
MANCHESTER'S ENROLMENT REACHES 
273 On Turspay NicHt WHEN 
Drarr List CLosEp. 
There were. exactly 273 Manches- 
ter men between the ages of 21 and 31 
registered in Town hall on Tuesday 
night when the lists were closed. The 
number of men who responded to the 
President’s proclamation and present- 
ed themselves for enrolment in pre- 
paration for the draft far exceeded 
the quota Manchester was expected 
to produce. Estimates from the state 
bureau of registration: had exceeded 
the number actually registered, but 
the list prepared by the registrars 
from the assessors’ books contained 
less than 200 names of men between 
the ages. 
For the most part, the men who 
presented themselves were in good 
physical health and all were willing 
enough to enrol. If there was any 
disposition toward “slacking” in Man- 
chester it was not in evidence in the 
vicinity of the registration booths 
Many registered early in the day, 140 
being registered at ‘noon. There 
were 119 aliens registered, a 
goodly proportion of them being 
Double plays—Finley to Holt to Francis; 
Bases on balls— 
off Hemming 4. Hit by pitched ball— 
Gourley by Hemming. Struck out—by 
Grover 7, by Woodman 3, by Hemming 4. 
Passed balls—LeMay. and Blood. Wild 
pitech—Hemming. Sacrifice hit—O’Leary.
