competitors in the Berkshire league
Saturday afternoon by defeating NORTH
Adams, at Morgan park, by score
of IL to 6. There were too many
misplays in the game to suit the
iiniky fan but there was a whole lot
of action and the crowd thoroughly
enjoyed the fun. There was good
sized delegation from North Adams
considering that it was a week day

nings that the Tunnel City aggrega
ton was in the lead, the visitors were
in high feather.
