BUT ONE LONELY
EARNED RUN
Haynes Let Down Cy's Colts
With Four Hits
BENNlNGTON'S FIFTH VICTORY
Regular Cyclone of Safe Hits and Sac
rifces in Seventh Inning De-
Developes Four Runs

When the home team is able to
make but four hits and three of the
hitters are thrown out while attempt
ing to steal aecond base here are not
many opportunities to score, especial
ly if the visiting nine is so unaccom-
modatipg tnat it refuses to make a
single error.
These were the conditions that pre-
vailed at Pittsfield yesterday and as
a result Uncle ICY" Ferry's Colts re-
ceived one of the most thorough
trouncings administered to the home
team since the opening of the shire
city's new ball park.
Only once did a Pittsfield runner
see third base and prettily executed
squeeze play" sent him across tde
plate with the only run scored by the
Colts.
One of the odd features of the game
was the batting of Dunlap, the Pitts
field second baseman. In the five
previous games played with Pittsfeld
he has proved to be easy killing for
the pitchers and up TO yesterday had
never made anything that looked like
hit. He was at bat three times and
raped out two clean hard singles,
one between second and first and one
between second and short Mahoney
and Ferry made the other hits. Ma
honey's was good long drive to left
field for two bases but Cy's had

Bennington commenced to score in
the first inning. Hickey waited pat

pitcher, threw him four bad balls and

sacrificed him to second and he scor

pass which filled first and second bases

Meegan, with one out, hit to right
field but Haynes struck out Gardel

for him, ball in hand, on an attempt
to steal second.
In the third with two out Pitcher
Ryan plugged King on the alp with
the ball and the Bennington rightfield-
er limped down to first base. Waters
sent long fly to Rightfielder Meegan
which struck the init, bounded high in
the air and unaccomodatingly dropped
down into the glove again. For Pitts
