BENNINGTON GOT
into TOO FAST
COMPANY
Defeated Yesterday by North
Adams Tunnel Diggers
VISITORS WON BY 7 TO 2
Bad Break In Sixth Inning Responsible
For Three Scores-No Runs
Earned

Inc bennington baseball team TOOK
a departure from the semi-professional
into the professional class yesterday
afternoon and ascertained that there
is considerable difference between
playing baseball as a BUSINESS and
making one appearance on the dia-
mond each Saturday afternoon. The
score was North Adams 7, Bennington
e.
II Is no discredit to the Bennington
players to be defeated by the aggre-
cation sent up here from the Tunnel
City. As made up at present the
North Adams team Is undoubtedly the
fastest nine that ever appeared on a
local diamond, not even excepting the
Northern league team from Barre
Montpelier imported for the Hoosick
Falls series last season.
For Bennington TO have won yester-
day would have been like the beating
of heavyweight by lightweight
pugilist. but barring the bad slump I'm
the sixth inning when grounder
through Lewis and bad throw by
Spring allowed three men to score the
game was nothing to be ashamed Of.
But for this one break everyone would
have been satisfied.
Pierce pitched an excellent game
for Bennington but he fielded his posi-
ton poorly and his errors were re-
sponsible for at least two Of the runs
made by North Adams. He held the
visitors down to nine hits which were
scattered In such way that with per-
feet fielding they would have done
but little damage. On the other hand
II Is but justice to state that with per-
feet backing Eastman. the North Ad-
ans, slab artist, would have pitched
his team to shut-out.
North Adams scored two runs In the
third inning on a couple OF hits and
Pierce's bad handling of a grounder.
Bennington got one In the same In.
ming on couple OF errors and Lewis
sacrifice and tied the score In the fifth
on Lewis hit and steal OF second and
an error by shortstop.
In the sixth an error by Bressette,
tWO Ddst MT anu the nlttluR Oh "a
bastian with pitched ball filed the
bags with North Adams baserunners.
The next man up sent grounder
down to Lewis. The ball struck a
sandy spot in the diamond and passed
through the first basemans legs, CIV
ing Lewis his first error of the season.
Before the home team got straigh-
tened out the three Tunnel Diggers
on the bases had all crossed the plate
and there was gloom In the grand
stand except In that portion occupied
by the rooters from Massachusetts,.
Three hits and the bad handling Of
two grounders by Pierce gave North
Adams two more runs In the 7th
making the score to 2, and at that
figure 1t remained for the balance of
the game. In the ninth Blanchan
singled and Prindle hit for two bases
but Eastman nailed stick" at the
plate and the chance for one more
tally was lost.
While the game was bit too one
sided to suit the local fans II was
nevertheless interesting from the call
OF play BALI to the finish. The star
features were undoubtedly the two
catches by Kelly in left field and Sa-
bastian's work with the high fouls.

WILL JOIN BOSTON TEAM
Larry Gardner to Play With the Red
Sox in American League

Burlington, June 10.-W. l.. Gard
ner, better known among baseball
circles as Larry Gardner. will not
play with the University Of Vermont
team next season. He has signed
with the Boston or Red Sox team of
the American league and expects to
join the team at st. Louis, Mo-, the
first Of next week IL he can get
through with mis- college examinations
in time. He will return here to col
lege, however. In the fall.
Larry Gardner is classed among the
best in college baseball and his friends
confidently expect that he will make
good in fast company. Two of the
utility men OF the Red Sox have been
out of the game most Of the season be-
cause Of illness and Mcclure wants
Larry to help fill the breach.
Besides playing with the Vermont
team, Larry made good with the best
Northern League team that Burling-
ton ever had, namely that of 1906
when Pattee, Tiff, Carroll, Hazelton,
Burdee, Higgins and Beach won game
after game. Larry played the 0utfield
and his hitting was terrific. Last sea-
son he played In Maine and batted
above $50. Gardner can play most
any infield position, besides pitching
and catching, and is especially strong
in the field. His hitting was stronger
in fast company, strange to say, than
with the college team.
