Playing errorless ball Bennington

sue of the Banner. On Saturday the
home team defeated the All Athletes
rof Cohoes at Morgan park by score
of to l and yesterday the team
won league game at Tudor park
from the Pittsfeld team by score OF
3 to /.
Bennington had Pttsfeld beaten
all the way from the first to the
ninth inning at Tudor park yester-
day. Mitchell of Dartmouth who
was in the box for Bennington not on
ly pitched excellent ball but he used
rare judgment in fielding his posi-
ton. Pittsfield secured but six hits
and 1t was not until the ninth inning
that the shire city aggregation was
able to put out two safe swats in the
same inning.
Cranker, who always loses his
games to Bennington. was on the
slab for Pttsfield and held the locals
down to four singles. Two of these
we're punched in the third inning in
conjunction with two msplays by
Tucker Genest. One OF Tommy
Scanlon made the visitors first hit,
with hit and steal by Sullivan
with disastrous results to Pittsfield.
Pittsfield failed to get a man on
bases until the third inning when
scanlon made the visitors first hit,
was advanced to second by Kenney's
sacrifice but persisted on that sack
while two batters went out, one to
King and the other over the Whit
route.
Bennington got real busy in its
half of the same period. Genest
muffed Heath's grounder and the iit
tie third baseman was safe at first
Burrington's hit to left field advanc
ed him TO second. Ryan hit to Do
herty forcing burlington at second
but advancing Heath to third. Gen
est threw Prindle's grounder ovel
first base scoring Heath and Ryan
who had stolen second. King beat
out a short infeld hit but did not ad
vance as the next two were out. Fin
negan fouling to Scanlon and Mitch
ell being thrown out at first by Do
herty.
The fourth presented a rather re
markable feature created by the field
ing OF Mitchell. Out OF the four meI
who came to bat for Pittsfeld three
reached first base on a fielder'i
choice. Kennedy opened with a hi
to left but was forced out at secont
when Hickey hit TO Mitchell. HIck
ely stole second but Mitchell threw
him out at third on Robarge's shor
infeld hit Golden forced out Ro
barge at second.
burlington reached first In the
fifth on Scanlon's error and wher
Prlndle was hit by a pitched ball h,
advanced to second but both were
left on bases.

with one out, Sullivan hit safely L
center. stole second and scored wheI
