BISMARCK, SCORING ONE RUN IN SECOND, TAKES EARLY LEADBenton Harbor Club Evens Count in Sixth and Goes Into Lead Next Inning‘OLD PETE’ ON MOUNDLocal's Eighth Inning Rally Fails With Bases Loaded; Stewart Leads HittersGrover Cleveland Alexander look the mound for the House of David here Monday night, allowed the Bismarck club one hit and one run in the first two Innings and then retired to the sidelines to coach.Overcoming that one run lead in the sixth, the Benton Harbor team added two more in the seventh and another in the eighth to win, 4 to 1.Old Pete, who takes life easy now, hurling only two innings a game, exhibited the same old control that gave him 373 major league victories but he has lost the speed and fire that gave him 16 shutouts in one season.Lefty Vincent, who returned to the mound after a week’s rest, the longest he has had this year, pitched beautiful ball, allowing only seven hits and retiring 10 men on strikeouts. It was not the hitting of the whiskered boys that won the game for them nor was it the hurling but it was the steady, hard and sure fielding.Locals Take LeadBismarck took a one-run lead in the second inning when Troupe got a walk, went to third on Stewart’s double and came home when Morlan hit a long fly to centerfield.Held without a score until the sixth, the bearded club started in that inning when Weirman got on base on a fielder’s choice. Ingram and Mullens got singles and Vincent issued a pass to Holland, walking in Weirman.They counted again in the seventh when Massmann errored in handling Cross’ hot grounder. Cross went to second on a pass ball and came home on Blakney’s single. Hill grounded out and Weirman struck out but Ingram drove out a long single scoring Ingram from second.Bismarck Rally HaltedTheir last tally came in the eighth on a single by Towles and a triple to deep center field by Cross.
