gan Park Saturday.

In the fourth inning Of Saturdays
game with the Stanley team of Pitts
field the Huckleberry Boys after two
men were out scored six runs. Only
three hits we're made In the inning
but two of them were good for cou-
pie OF sacks each and came at the
right time. In addition the Pitts
field third baseman and the left field
er each made muff and the pitcher
gave a couple of free passes to first.
With the fourth inning eliminated
the game would have been fairly
close contest. 0. Dale, who pitched
for the Stanleys had speed to throw
away and had he been as well sup
ported behind the bat as the Benning-
ton team the Pittsfield boys would
have had an equal chance to have
won the game. After the fourth in
ming Dale allowed Bennington but
two hits and these we're so far apart
that they did no damage.
Lennon pitched his usual heady
game. Pittsfleld earned its single
run of him in the second on two hits
and a sacrifice In the second inning
but during the balance of the game he
kept the hits SO we'll scattered that
the Stanley boys seldom made much
progress on the bases. In the fourth
G. Barksdale, the first man up got a
three Dagger but was put out attempt
ing TO squeeze in run. In the
seventh he again opened the inning
, with a two sacker and was sent to
third by N. Dale's single but was un-
able to cross the plate.
The Bennington fielders had an of
day. Genie" Bressette dropped a
couple of flies in center and Prindle
let an easy one get away from him.
Prindle, however, recovered in time to
throw man out at second on the
play. The infielders, too, all figured
in the error column, so that the game
as whole did not compare favorably
with that of week ago with its sim
gle misplay.
Spring played the last game for
Bennington at present and in all
probability Lewis will go behind the
bat next Saturday in the game with
the Ostranders. G.. Barksdals, the
tall first baseman of the Stanley team
will be on the initial sack for Ben
nington. II he plays as good game
right along as he did Saturday he
will be good enough for us. The
score follows:

arousing the people as he followed by
his cries OF thief! Stop thief" etc.
The chase continued until the pur-

doctor lost sight Of the criminal in
the crowd. However, he at once told
his story to Chief of Police Patrick
Brazzell and the latter started In
pursuit of the thief, having been told
that a man of the description given
had gone down North street and turn
ed onto Pleasant.
He had not gone far, however,
when one Of the bystanders who was
a little more observant than the
others stated that he thought the
colored gentleman was Wayne Ad-
ans, and Pat, thinking 1t trick,
decided not to follow him up.
The facts are that Wayne afteS
