gan Park, the opening of the series
with Hoosick Falls, was a hard luck
proposition from the start. To begin
with Manager Corbett, Ia all attempt
to strengthen the team, had engaged
Mills of Pittsfeld to take the place of
Cheney at third. At the last minute
Corbett received word from Mills that
he was going to play with Hoosick
Falls This made break In the
team that the manager tried TO fill
with Mahoney OF the Ostranders, but
the little Albany man made more of
a hole than he mendcd. His errors
were costly and he gave a bad ex-
hibition Of dumb" playing when he
had an opportunity for a double play.
The biggest disappointment was
Lennon. What he might have done
had he not hurt his finger is Of course,
unknown, but he should certainly
have gotten out Of the box when he
found that he was in no shape to
pitch.
Mcclure, who went into the game
In the fourth inning pitched fine
game. He had good control and but
for the errors of Mahoney could have
held the score close to the figures at
which he took the game.
Killeen for HOosick Falls came near
pitching a shutout game, and but for
a base on balls and two daring shots
by Spring would have retired Ben
nington without run. The score:

GEORGE COOPER HURT
Thrown From a Buggy Saturday A.
ternoon on Main Street

George Cooper, the aged machinist,
and brother of the late Charles Coop
er, was thrown from a buggy on East
Main street Saturday afternoon and
sustained a broken rib. He was TAX
en- to his boarding place and an ex-
animation by physician disclosed
that his injuries were not at all ser
ious provided no complication devel-
oped.
Mr.. Cooper was driving back from
Woodford in a single rig belonging to
Liyeryman Galusha. Just as he
reached the corner of Stafford street
the horse became frightened at an
electric car and ran. The driver who
is 80 years old was unable to control
the animal and his buggy cQllided
with the j. II. l.oring company hack
One of the wheels of the buggy was
completely stripped and Mr. Cooper
was thrown out upon the ground strik
ing upon his back and shoulders
Some of the men on the way to the
baseball game at once picked Mr.,
Cooper upand laid him upon the lawn
In front of tho village cemetery. A.
j. Cooper, nephew of the victim of the
accident was soon upon the scene
with his automobile which was first
driven to Morgan Park for Dr. Ross,
who was waiting for the opening of
the baseball game With the physlc-
ian the auto at once returned to Main
street and Mr.. Cooper was carried to
his boarding place. Today he is as
comfortable as could be expected I'M
der the circumstances, and in the opin
ion of the physician, unless pneumo-
mia develops there will be quick re-
covery.
