Benson Sends Chicago Bats to Deep Freeze
Ernest Benson of the New York Stars put the clamps on the opposition and held the Chicago Cougars scoreless in a 5-hit win.

"He's got some good stuff, but we should have done better than that," said Chicago skipper George McFadden after the 4-0 loss.

Benson was on target most of the game and finished with 3 strikeouts and 1 walk.

This year in 35 starts, Benson has recorded 19 wins and absorbed 14 losses. He has pitched 299 innings, allowed 276 hits, struck out 71 and has a 2.53 ERA.
