The Berkshire base ball club gave a severe drubbing, Saturday, to the Never sinks, the crack team from the Rubber shop. The game was played on the grounds at Sunny Crest and, from the beginning of the game, the Berkshires knocked out two baggers and singles in quick order. After the four high priced pitchers of the Neversinks had been bat ted out of the box, game was called, at the end of the eighth inning, by Umpire Snifien, with the score 47 to l5 In favor of Berkshire. The hard hitting of P. Finnell and Blake and the scientific bunt- ing of W. Minor were the features of the Berkshire's game. First base was cover- ed in professional style by A. Minor. M. Roach struck out l2 men and was sup ported in first class style by J. Haugh. The Neversinks put up a strong game in the field, but were weak at the bat. The only man to do any hitting was their captain and manager, T. Finnell. The Berkshires have lost but one game, this season.
