yesterday afternoon by shutting
out North Adams on the
Tunnel City grounds by the score of
IS to 0. North Adams had but one
chance to score during the entire
game and then some fast work by the
Bennington infeld resulted in catch
ing a runner between third and the
home plate.
Mitchell was In the box for Ben
nington and his record Of only two
hits has been equalled but once by a
Bennington pitcher working against
one of the big teams. June Fisher

Tudor park Both hits made on Nit
chell were secured by Jim Mahoney
and came in the first and the third
innings During the remainder of the

ond time within a week got to- Pit
cher Joe Harrington, the Rochester
university boxman. Eleven hits, three
of them for two sacks is going some.
An unusual feature was pulled off
in the eighth inning. Vance, the
first man up for North Adams batted
a pop fly to the infeld and realizing
that the ball was going straight into
the hands of Dan Mahoney. who was
at second for Remington, started for
the bench. Mahoney, however, drop
ped the ball and Vances teammates
called to him to run to first base. Ma
honey recovered the ball and threw II
so high over Sullivan's head that the
big frstsacker couldn't have reached II
with a telephone pole. Vance ran
around the bases to third where hi
was called out for not following tn,
baselines. The play created some
thing of an argument and severa
