PITCHED AlRTIoHT BALL
Harrington Held Players SO Close
They Barely Escaped a Shut-out

BENNINGTON defeated North Adams
az Morgan park Saturday afternoon .
to 1. Up to the eighth inning there
was every indication that the Tunnel
City team was slated for "a shutout
but i'm the next to the final period a
three Dagger and a single put away
the whitewash brush.
Harrington pitched unusually good
ball for Bennington. He started with
the game we'll in hand and kept his
grip on il throughout the entire nine
innings He gave out no compliment
taries to first base and was steady
at all times. In the third inning
North Adams found him for a brace
of singles and an error in the in6eld
put him in a bad hole, three on bases
and only one out but he frightened
and retired the side, one on a strike
out and the other on an easy ground
ed. In four innings not a North Ad-
ans runner reached first base.
Guy Prindle of Wiliamstown was on
( first in the place of Carolan and
played a remarkably good game. His
! handling of two bad throws from the
in6eld was a feature of the game.
Thompson, who was in the box for
/ North Adams, was not hit hard but
/ his bases on balls were costly and
1 the Huckleberry bunch made its hits
/ in conjunction with the misplays of
! the Tunnel City players
( connors made a pretty stop and as
/ sist in the sixth but the real feature
! play of the game was pulled off by
/ Fountain, the former Drury high
school players, who was at short for
North Adams. In the eighth Shea
/ hit a high liner toward left center
/ that looked good for a clean single,
but Fountain went up in the air and
/ brought down the ball with his bare
hand 1t was a quick spectacular
play and was roundly applauded by
the crowd in the stand The score:

EXCITEMENT OVER ARREST
Cmccr Struck g. intoKieatsd Man
and Uses His Club

saturday afternoon young man
generally known as Fred Wood. while
intoxicated. resisted arrest on Ncrth
street and was hit twice on the head
W fh a bills hy Ch.ef of Police Baz-
90 The blows cut the scalp and the
loN oi blood was rather proiusc as
is usually the ease when the skin OF
the head is lacerated.
Az saturday b. a halt holiday there
were "a large number of men on the
street at the time and the action OF
the officer was denounced in yigor-
Gus language by some OF the more
hot-headed No one iuteriered. how
ever. and assisted by Thomas Gibney.
thC chief took his man 20 Jail
Wood. whose real name is Fred
Xavier. was taken in charge by ON.
Ger Brazil and his mpr0mptu deputy
near the Office 81 the Remington
Water company. The young man was
thoroughly intoxicated. Officer Bra
zil and Mr. Gibney each had hold
of one OF Woods arms and had pro
crossed toward the Jail as far as the
second class liquor store OF 5. r.
Wood. when Wood broke away and
punched Officer Brazil in the face
The blow knocked out the officers
teeth. The teeth are OF the kind that
can be procured az any dentists, so
the actual damage was not extensive.
The officer followed the punch by
striking Wood twice over the head
with his stick The first blow
knocked Woods cap from his head
After punching the officer Wood
started 10 run but the short term
deputy seized the young man by the
coat and held him until the chief
secured another grip
Woods head was cut by the blows
of the stick. Blood flowed down up
on his face With one OF his hands
he meared the crimson fluid over his
/ features and when the three reached
Putnam house square Wood naturally
presented a rather shocking spec
taclc.
In a few seconds a crowd, which
made the corner look as though a
. circus had just arrived in town gath
cred and the action of the chief was
condemned by a large number who
/ did not know that Wood had not only
resisted the officer. but had actually
/ struck him Neither did the crowd
+ have any knowledge OF the act which
was primarily responsible for the ar
rest After they became acquainted
with the circumstances many in tn,
crowd who had at first criticised IN,
. officer took a different view of tn,
case.
Wood was attended az the jail by ;
physician who found that the cuts OF
the Head were slight and that thr
young man had been only slight,
hurt
10 is probable that the only charg
that viii be preferred against Woo
is that of intoxication. Office
Brazil realizes that the young MAJ
was intoxicated and therefore not 81
responsible as would have been tn
case had he been in his sober senses
For this reason the officer may no
prefer any charge ageinst Wood, al
though he has not stated what hi
course will be
Chief Brazil had been directed b.
the states attorney to arrest Woo
because Of a complaint that he ha
seized hold of "a woman and pincbe
her in the thigh earlier in the a
ternoon

The 27th ballot was enllvened by
bitter attack on Bryan by Hon. John
b. Stanchheld of New York
when Murphy cast the New York
vote for Clark. a delegate from Chau-
tauqua county challenged the vote
and demanded a poll OF the delega-
ton.
This was done in order TO give Mr..
Stanchfeld a chance to reply to Bry-
an. In the course of his remarks Mr..
Stanchfeld said that Bryan had de-
clared that he would not support
any candidate that was backed by
New York.
This, said Mr.. Stanchfeld, is in
the face OF the fact that the great
state of New York is essential 10
Democratic success in November. He
also stated that the backing Of Bry-
an would Immediately take away
from any candidate a half million
votes and all chance of victory.
On the 2Sth ballot the 80 votes
from Indiana left Marshall for the
first time and went TO Wilson.

ballot did not come. The result OF
