TWO0F BEST GAMES
PLAYED HERE
THIS YEAR
Bennington Defeated Patterson

PLAYED ERRORLESS BALL
InVlncibility Of Bosk and Wheeler and
Luck in punching Hits Were
the Chief Factors

Bennington's fast ball team won
a second game from Paterson at Tu-
dor park Sunday by 2 to l score.
The game was one of the best OF the
season and was in doubt until the
last man was out.
Bennington played errorless ball
and Wheeler who was in the box was
invincible. The few hits he allowed
were scattered, he struck out five OF
the visitors and fielded his position
perfectly
The feature of the game was fast
double play pulled off by Carolan in
the last inning Paterson needed one
run to tie the score and the first man
up hit safely. The next man hit
grounder about 20 feet inside first
base By fast work Carolan got the
ball and delivered it to Finnegan on
second in time to catch the runner
Carolan then covered first in season
to receive the ball and get his man
by a margin 1t was one of the sharp
est and prettiest plays in town this
season.
Bennington made both runs in the
NTH through fortunate punching OF
hits and one OF Paterson's two errors,
all after two men were out Brill
and burlington went out on fly balls.
Wheeler hit safely to left field and
took second on Tierneys wild throw
in Prindle sent a clean single to
center field and Burns, running for
Wheeler, scored Prindle took sec
ond on the attempt to catch Burns at
the plate Connors drew four bad
ones and walked. Carolan brought
Prindle home by a sharp drive to
right and reached second on the
throw, Connors reaching third. Fin
negan hit to the pitcher and was
thrown out at first.
Paterson's one run came in the
third on a pass to first, a sacrifice
Miller's out and Kellys hit The
visitors had a chance to score in the
Sth with a man on third and one
on second but Kelly struck out The

though the body was in ali advanced

doubt but it is that of Thorpe be-
cause of his clothing and a frater-
nifty pin which he wore, and which
had his name on the inside.
There was little question as to the
identity OF the body as the two sweat
ers which Thorpe is known to have
worn were on the body. The skates
were still on the shoes. The trous-
ers were torn, as though there had
I been a struggle when he went down
