BASEBALL BuNTS.

Fred Bement in his telephone talk
with the editor yesterday hit the nail
squarely on the bean when he stated
that there were two problems facing
the fans for solution, viz, whether
the city should remain in hte Twin
State League for another year or
whether a franchise should be taken
out in the Connecticut league. Mr..
Bement asks whether the city should
work to build up the Twin State
League, with its fast, clean collegiate
brand of baseball or join the old Nut
meg standard again. He states that
if the Twin State League is to be
built up that league of eight teams
should be started next year admitting
Pittsfeld North Adams, Bennington,
Greenfield, Athol or some other near
by towns TO the places already in the
league. The question is one on
which the future of the game here
will no doubt Observation-Disclosures

EVERY MAN MADE
At LEAST ONE
SAFE HIT
PittsfieId TrOunced in Greatest
Swatfest of the Year
BY BIG SCORE OF Is TO 6
Bennington Ran Away With Game In
First Three lnnings-Pttsfeld
HopeIessIy In the Rear.

The greatest swatfest of the pres
ent Berkshire league season was pre-
scented at Morgan park Saturday af-
ternoon when Bennington put Pitts
field away TO the score of l6 to 6.
Neither Shankey, who has pitched
some good games against Bennington,
nor Big Chief Eastman who was on
the slab for the Huckleberry bunch,
were in form but the big fellow from
the shire city of Berkshire county
was a particularly easy mark for the
local batsmen. In addition Manager
Noonan's men put in five errors where
they would do the most work-for
Bennington-and the result was a
continuous kaleidoscope of Huckle-
berry boys whirling around the sacks.
Eastman admitted after the first
inning that he didn't have anything
on the BALI but he didn't have to be
cause Shankey had so much less.
Shankey was not only ineffective but
he was erratic. In the fourth inning
he hit three batters but pulled
through with only one run bescored
against him.
Bennington put an errorless game
behind Eastman who had only one
bad inning, the fifth, when he was hit
for three singles, gave a base on
balls, and made a wild pitch.
In two different innings the Huckle-
berry boys collected five hits of
Shankey and in each of these peri
DDS one Bennington batter sacrificed
and Pttsfield put in at least one
misplay to add to the gaity of the
occasion.
Bennington had scored IA runs at
the close of the fifth inning and East
man thereafter merely endeavored to
keep the game in hand. The score:

THE BATTING AVERAGES.
One Player Hitting Over 400 an
Three In the 800 Class.

Joe" Peloquin, the heavy-swinging
pitcher and right fielder of the Ben
nington baseball team is hitting the
ball at a terrific clip of .431 and there
are three men on the team who are
going at 300 or better. Usually in
the small leagues like the Berkshire
organization the players bat for
smaller percentages as the season
lengthens but such is not proving
the case with Bennington during the
present season. During the last
twelve games all but two of the
players on the team have forged
ahead. Carolan has dropped from
1865 to 800 and Cable Prindle from
.254 to .229. Shea has moved up in
to the 300 class from 296, Finnegan
has added ten points to his average,
Connors has advanced from PAP to
.26S. McCrehan has just held his
own as has Eastman. Harrington
has bettered his average by over 80
points. Following are the figures:

Ed Fitzgerald For Congress.

The News is not looking for
political troubles in congression-
al politics away from home; it is
quite certain that we will have
enough trouble in our own con-
gressional district, But as Con-
gressmen, though elected from
legally defined districts, legis-
late for the whole country and in
a measure represent their whole
state, we cannot help but take
considerable interest in congress
sional matters in adjoining dis.
trlcts. Congressman Collier, of
course, is a candidate for reelec-
ton; Editor Henry of the Clar-
ion Ledger, is candidate. 1t is
runored that Speaker Quin of
the House of Representatives is
a candidate though he has not
announced himself yet. Some
months ago it was suggested that
e. A. Fitzgerald would be can.
didate, but as nothing has been
heard from him on the subject,
1t is not known whether or not
he has decided to leave the field
of politics alone. The many
friends and admirers of Ed Fitz-
gerald still hope that he would
enter the race. Speaker yQuin is
undoubtedly a man of great abll.
ity, and has shown in the present
session Of the legislature that he
is a man to be reckoned with in
the politics of the state. But
his friends still hope that he
would reserve his ambitions for
the governorship as successor to
Governor Brewer. Quin is judi
cial, dispassionate and would
make an excellent Chief Execu.
tive for Mississippi. He has also
made such a splendid record as
Speaker that it would be mate
rial loss to the Legislature to lose
him after the first session; how
ever, he will deserve the promo
tion to the governorship when
his term in the Legislature is
over.
Ed Fitzgerald has the ability
and the requisite knowledge of
public affairs to represent his
district in the National House of
Representatives with great credit
