Bennington viii Then Go Up A9ains'
A Harder Proposition Than the
Last Two

Monday afternoons baseball game
at Morgan Park was something of a
disappointment. In the first place
the Kapps of Albany advertised, as
the fastest aggregation of baseball
players in the capital city out side OF
the state league team, fell far short
of it's reputation on paper and in the
second place the Bennington team
did not play as good ball as II is able
to put up The fact that tne Kappas
arrived in town with only seven play
ers "queered' the game before ball
was thrown and there was little In
terest in the contest after II became
evident, as was apparent In the
second inning, that the Kappas were
| hopelessly outclassed.
The albany bunch secured seven
singles off Corey, but even at that
perfect infield work would have shut
it out without run. Corey had
more than the usual amount o. field
| ing to do and handled the majority
of the short hits that came his way
in good shape. His three bad throws,
however. figured conspicuously in the
run-getting of the Kappa outfit. lie
also walked three men and all OF
them scored. The infield, with the
exception of Jones at second all re-
| ceived honorable mention in the error
column Mcconnell at short PLAYED
a perfect game up to the ninth inning
when he had muff and wild throw
that cost run. Englewood at bird
drove one ball at Watson that might
just as well have been thrown at The
moon. Watson dropped an easy
thrown ball in the second inning.
If the Bennington inhelders were
| Just a little ragged when on the
diamond they were nevertheless
Jonny-on-the-spot with the stick.
Mcconnell raped but two nice
singles. Watson got a couple, Engle-
wood two and two-sacker. They al
so showed speed and excellent judg
ment in running bases.
The three feature plays of the day
were pulled off by Bressette and
Prindle in the field. Bressette
spoiled two apparently safe hits
One was long fly into deep center
which none of the spectators mag
ined he could possibly reach and the
other was a short hit that had all but
touched tne ground when he put his
NIT under 1t.
Only one fly ball went out tc
Prindle but in the fourth inning he
came in on a grounder and nailed the
runner at the plate with a throw
that was as true as a plumb line.
Bennington scored a run in the first
Inning on singles by Prindle, Watson
and Brown.
In the second five men scored
Bressette and O'Meara reached first
on errors. They were advanced q
base by Coreys pretty sacrifice ant
