Bennington defeated the Danforths
OF Gloversyille, N. Y, at Morgan park
yesterday afternoon by a score OF 4
to 2, The crowd was not large one
as the poor showing made by the New
Workers at Tudor Park discouraged
some Of the finical fans who have be-
come so fussy this season that they
kick like the trick mule in the circus
every time their bill of fare fails to
read big League Baseball for rs
Cents" The more reasonable pat
rons of the game, those who realized
that the Gloversville boys were In no
condition to play good ball when they
arrived at Tudor park, were on hand
yesterday afternoon and witnessed a
contest that while 1t was not q thrill
Ter was in every way creditable to
both teams.
The visitors were anxious to make
la good showing in the second game
as was evidenced in the appearance
of two men In the lineup, Shilling at
third and Pfeiffer In left field. Both
fielded their positions in excellent
shape but failed to do anything at
the bat.
Wheeler, who pitched for Benning-
ton, made a record that has not been
equalled on either Bennington dia-
mond this year. He held the oppos.
ing team to one lone hit and that was
made in the opening inning.
Jud McCrehan, the long fellow In
the center garden for the Huckleber-
ry outfit, was once more on hand with
the timely bingle. McCrehan has
broken up 80 many games this season
that every time he comes to bat with
men In bases he has to make hit
or the fans complain that Judson isn't
using them just right. Mac had his
opportunity yesterday. II was the
sixth inning and there were two men
on bases and one out. Up to this per-
iod Bennington had failed to score
while the New Workers had tucked a
pair Of tallies away in the refrigere.
tor and apparently had the game well
In hand. McCrehan caught the first
ball pitched on the end OF his bat and
the sphere trailed out into left field
under the canvass fence while Mac
made the circuit of the bases with
Connors and Carolan acting as pace
makers.
| The game was remarkable one
In that one player, Brennan, the for
mer Bennington center fielder who
was at shortstop for Gloversyille was
largely responsible for four of the sir
runs made by both teams In the
opening inning Wheeler passed the
first two Gloversville batters. The
runners were advanced by sacrifice
and then Brennan made the only hi
for his team, two-bagger into right
field, scoring the two runs.
In the sixth Brennan made two
errors, muffed fly and booted 9
grounder, putting Connors on secont
and Carolan on first. Finnegan, NOV

costly. The big shortstop consequent
lily had the credit OF making all o.
the runs and all OF the misplays fol
his team. Bennington's run in the
run In the eighth was earned on {
