Bennington completely outcassed
North Adams at Tudor Park yester-
day afternoon, shutting out the Tun-
mel Diggers by a score OF IA to 0. Dur
ing the entire game but five of Mana
Ger Mackeys men reached first base
in safety, but two reached second and
only one landed at the dizzy corner.
On the other hand Bennington pull
ed off a batting carnival during the
first three innings the like of which
has never before been seen on
Bennington diamond. All II runs
were scored during these three in
nings on nine hits two of which went
for two bases and one for three. Bar
ry, who was in the box for North Ad-
ans, passed three batters in the third
inning, twice forcing in a run. At
the conclusion of the inning Barry
was sent to the bench and Noyack,
who recently joined the North Adams
aggregation, went in to pitch. The
change from batting at real curves to
slow straight ones was too much for
the Huckleberry boys and they fail
ed to score during the remainder of
the game.
Ray Fisher, the former Middlebury
college pitcher now with the New
York Americans who pitched a num-
Der of games for Bennington last sea
son. was the attraction which drew
nearly 500 people to Tudor Park in
spite of the threatening weather.
Fisher pitched but four innings. Dur.
ing these four innings one North Adj
ans batter made a hit and went as
far as first base but that was all
there was to it so far as North Ad-
ans was concerned. Fisher is evil

fairly marvellous and his change from
fast to slow balls is remarkably de-
ceptiye. He also made a Dagger

Bosk, who succeeded Fisher, held
North Adams to three hits during the
remainder of the game. In his first
inning he passed a batter and was
hit for a single. McCrehan dropped a
fly to center field and there was a
North Adams batter on second and
third with none out Bosk frightened
up, however, and North Adams new

The feature play of the game was
a double play in the sixth inning by
Prindle and Brown. With a runner on
second long fly was hit to left field
which Prindle caught after a long run
and made a perfect peg to second
Brown had to reach rather high fol
the ball but completed the play with
lightning-like rapidity Keefe and his
"wagon-tongue" bat were also much

hit. A wild throw over third bas'
and an error at short stop scored
both runners.
In the second Bennington went af

and sacrifice. An error at shor
helped some and the total was fou
runs.
