ALL.STARS BEATEN
 IN BENEFIT GAME
Pioneers Win Contest Staged for Camp DeVens Athletic Fund

One of the largest crowds of sev- eraf seasons was in attendance yester- day afternoon at the Ellis street dia- mond, when the benefit game for the Camp Devens Athletic fund was staged by the Pioneers and Al-Stars. The former was the victor in 8 game that glistened with activity and hit ting, and the spectators left the field pleased with the contest. The event Mas the first staged by the athletic committee, and was a success in every respect, it being announced by Umpire Mangan that $132 had been taken in at the gate besides the advance sale. 1 It is expected that. the initial con- tribution will amount to over $200. The athletic committee Is indebted to the athletes who so generously con- tributed their services for the game, ! gratis. Managers Luby, Eggert, Naughton and Lynch are also to be commended for the fine spirit they displayed in arranging the game. Friends of both clubs donated their services at the grounds in assisting ! in the venture.
 The south end boys pulled the game from the trenches in the fifth inning, after two men had been retired. Coupled with some poor fielding work, timely clouting produced four runs and put the Poli conquerors in the ! fore, a position they maintained until the close. Benny Lynch, the clever ! little southpaw, was touched up in { lively fashion in the opening inning, when a pair of tallies dented the plate and again in the fifth the Stars pushed across another duo of runs. Lynch forced seven of the Stars swatssmiths to hit the ozone, and he l issued only two free transportations. Blanchard also pitched a fine game. it being no fault of his that the Stars did not win.
 Johnson opened the game in the Initial inning by pounding the Victor s to the outer pasture for two sacks Schneider followed with single send ing Johnson to third and both scored on Madam" Chnton's pretty two- cask poke. In the fifth stanza John | son again laced the ball for double but was tagged out by Nom" Beg ley when he overran the bag, on fast throw from Eddie Goeb. Schneid- CT then walloped the pill over Goeb's head and by fast running, he made rhtrd. Johnny stole second and scored on Clinton's hot clout for a single 1 This ended the Stars scoring, al- | though they did appear dangerous in ! the eighth frame when Jacobson 1 pounded out single, but his anxiety 1 lost a chance for a score when he was caught trying to pilfer the mid way station. Clinton got single inn mediately afterward, and went to third on Fitzpatrick's hot sacker but when Ray Begley hit to Ells- worth, Clinton was out at the plate. Red" Campbell failed to produce the needed hit being thrown out by Lynch at first.
 Eddie Goeb opened the game for the Pioneers with a single and stole
 second. He pounded the rubber on
 a bad peg by Blanchard. The fire
 works occurred in the fifth frame
 when after N. Begley had popped
 out to Kiniry and Norfeldt was re- tired Blanchard to Kilduff, Clancy hit
 for two bases and then the trouble
 began. Schroeder was safe on an err
 TOT by Kiniry and R. Begley in-
 gloriously muffed Lynch's lofty one.
 Goeb and Dudack then pounded out safe ones scoring three runs and
 when Ellsworth also laced hot one for a single Stevie scored the fourth
 and final run of the inning.
 The score:
