Bunched Hits in Sixth and
Seventh
NETTING SEVEN RUNS
Home Team Did Some Good Work
But We're Weak in Base
Running.

BY punching their hits In the sixth
and seventh innings, the strong base
ball aggregation from Albany, the
Osi-anders defeated Bennington Sat
urday afternoon by the score OF seven
TO four. The visitors seven runs were
all brought over the plate 10 those two
innings. Bennington's hits we're scat
tered over the entire game and while
about equal in number 70 those OF the
visitors we're far less effective as hey
we're so scattering.
The visitors did not arrive until 40
but they Immediately got into the game
with a rush and the contest from start
10 finish was played In a quick snappy
manner.
This was due In large degree TO
w. j. Peterson, the umpire, who con-
tinually kept the players in the game.
His umpiring was unusually good in
many respects, he gave the decisions
loudly enough to be heard by every
one ms judgment was good and he
had complete control of the game and
the players.
bennington showed quite an inn
provement in team work getting out Of
several difficulties by their good iudg-
ment in base throwing.
Lewis, behind the bat, did some ex-
cellent backstopping. sMany of the low
ones which went spinning over the
plate seemed almost impossible to-
capture but the man from Berlin got
them every time.
The good work OF MCGEE may be
seen by the fact that he struck out 10
men, allowed no bases on balls and
assisted materially in the fielding.
The official score book shows the fol-
lowing:-
