The Saranac Lake DaseDaH team
defeated Bennington at Morgan park
yesterday afternoon to 4. The Wis
ting team was composed of five
Dean Academy students, three TUFTS
college and two University OF Penn
sylvania players who are on their
way to Saranac Lake to represent
that resort during the present sea
son. They put up by far the best
exhibition by a visiting team al
Morgan park this year and won the
game by superior play. They outbat-
ted and outfelded the home team and
exhibited so much ginger that the
small crowd present was keyed to a
high pitch of excitement during the
entire nine innings. Both teams had
men on bases in every inning but
one. and there was action at all sta
ges of the game.
While the students played strong
err game at the bat and came through
with better record in the error col
umn the game was lost, from Ben
nington standpoint, through the wild
work of the pitchers Burns passed
seven batters during the six innings
that he was on the mound. In MS
last period he gave two free tickets
and had two wild pitches, which,
withan error by Finnegan, gave the
students two runs. Peloquin, VINO
came in from the right garden to
take Burns place, relieved the ten
sion in the pitching department, but
his wild heave over first base in the
eighth was responsible for the win
ming run by Saranac Lake.
Bennington punched hits on Dim
ick in the second and fourth innings,
but during the remaining five periods
he had the game fairly well in hand.
Carolan and McCrehan who can usu-
ally be depended upon to get a bin
gle or two, failed to connect safely.
