The last game of baseball under
the management of the association
was played with Pittsheld at Tudor
Park yesterday afternoon and Ben
nington won by score of 8 to /. Ben
nington outplayed the shire city ag-
gregation at all stages and in all de
partments of the game. 1t is seldom
that the Pittsiield outfield contributes
three errors in one game but per-
Torrance of that nature was a feat
ure OF the game yesterday. Both
Johnny Hickey and Freddie Robarge
dropped fly balls and Hickey let
ground hit get by Then again Chap
pell threw to first base in the fourth
inning without looking to see wheth-
er the bag was covered or not.
Bennington played an unusually
sharp fielding game. Three Pitts
field runners were thrown out at the
plate and there were two fast double
plays by members of the home team.
The three errors charged up against
the Huckleberry boys were none or
them costly. The batting was not
particularly hard by either team. Ben
ningtOn secured one more hit than
Pittsfleld. The visitors earned their
lonely tally and Bennington two out
OF three.
McInerny, the South Adams boy
who was on the mound for Benning-
ton, had the better OF the pitching
argument with Chappell, the former
Albany state Lacquer. Pittsfield man.
