JST ONE LITTLE HIT

Remington won and lost in the
first two games of the series with Hoo
sick Falls. The first game played at
Morgan Park was pronounced by local
! followers of the game to have been the
finest exhibition of base ball ever put
up by Bennington nine. The second
game. played at Hoosick Falls, was
disappointment in many respects even
to the supporters of the winning team
Never was Hoosick team so thor
ougnly beaten by Bennington as was
the case Saturday afternoon. Not even
the famous Is to | game at Hoosick
Falls last year so thoroughly demon
strated the superiority of the winning
| team. The former was due to the ter
rife pounding, 10 hits in all. given the
Hoosick Falls pitcher. Saturdays vic
tory was due to the clean, fast work
OF an evenly balanced ball team which
worked together with the regularity OF
mac inc geared to highest speed
Hoosick could do absolutely nothing
with Corey. Such good hitters as Hic-
key. Barksdale and Cralgen were UNI
able to put the ball out OF the diamond
and the only safe one secured by the
entire team was a scratn into the IN
| field
The game was peculiar in some res
poets. Brown at third, who made
three of the nine hits, two OF them
good for two sacks apiece, never had
chance during the game. The out
field had but seven chances in all and
there were but nine strike outs by
culiarities there was more than the
usual amount of work for the inheld
and the game was, accordingly eX-
ceedingly interesting from the spec
tator's point of view.
An unusual feature was mutfed ny
| by Prindle. The fans here havh be
come so accustomed TO see everything
drop safely into the Williamstown
bows NIT that the hitter wno sends
the ball into that territory has been
considered out the instant the ball
! leaves the bat II was an easy one
that Prindle missed, a fly to reach
which he had but a short distance TO
run, and he was probably more sur
prised than any of the spectators when
the ball popped out of his hands. II
was the second error he has made IN
two seasons and in order to keep up
his record Cable will have to hold
everything that comes into his garden
from now on until the frost nips the
grass.
Outside of the pitching of Corey ana
| the fast work of the infield there were
two other features that would havs

worth was playing close to first and the
ball went close to second. Wadsworth

it from going into the field, picked il

ecuted with rapidity and precision

tators to be the best man in the POS

cat and had a wing" like a steel
