PRETTIEST game of the
season," was the unani
mous opinion of the big
crowd concerning Wed
nesday afternoon's base
ball game, in which. The
Berkshire trimmed The Carolinas 3 to 1
in a contest well nigh errorless, and
which promises baseball of a character
which will hold the attention
of the entire Village in the
series of games to come. Of brilliant
features there were many, among them
being Lewis' brace of two-baggers,
Morris' splendid catches and the work of
both batteries, with good hitting and
snappy fielding by both sides.
The Carolinas broke the ice in the
fourth inning, Smith gaining first on a
walk with one man out, moving to sec
ond on a passed ball, reaching third on
Norris' sacrifice, and scoring on Sum
ner's wild throw; DeRohn and Finnegan
going out in turn. The Berkshire
started their half rather badly but Heis
man, who had been presented to first,
and stolen second, made home on Kelly's
muff of "Walsh's fly, Gorman ending it
with n grounder.
In the first half of the fifth inning The
Berkshire crowd retired to The Carolinas
in short order, adding two runs in the
eleventh hour through Lewis' two-bagger,
Fitzgerald's hit over second base,
and a bad throw, letting Lewis across
the plate. Gleason fumbled Eastman's
hit, scoring Fitzgerald ; Eastman ending
the inning in an attempt to make third.
Carolina hopes ran high in the seventh
inning, two men being landed on the
bases with Norris' hit and Kelly's walk,
but Morris gathered in Edson's pop fly
and the tension was over. The Berk
shires landed a two-bagger at their turn
at the bat with two men out, and Fitz
gerald walked to first, but Bailey gath
ered in Eastman's liner.
The Carolinas made a good try for a
score in the eighth but failed to land,
Gleason gaining first on balls with two
men out, Smith making first on a single,
Norris forcing Gleason out at third ; one,
two, three, ending it in the ninth.

VILLAGE NINE AND TWO.
Saturday's game between the Village
and Carolina teams, was more or less of
a walkover for the Village and some
what of a surprise to Carolina supporters,
two, three for The Carolinas.
The second was easy honors for both
sides, but things looked hopeful for The
Carolinas in the third, two men getting
past first, and Norris being caught be
tween second and home. The fourth
was "take your turn"' for both teams ;
the fifth and three runs for the Village,
making it look like a sure win. Morris
and Lewis got first on a hit and a clev
erly placed bunt, a wild throw past third
letting Morris in. "Fitzy" put one to
Finnegan, Eastman and Sumner singled,
scoring Eastman and Lewis, Walsh went
to first "crippled", advancing on Heis
man's sinzle; Sumner being caught at
the plate in an attempt to score. Gale
got his base on balls, but O'Connor's

2, rather easily.
There was, however, plenty to keep
the big crowd occupied with th kind of
hitting that made all sit up and take
notice, Morris, Eastman, Sumner, Ileis
man and Norris finding the ball with a
regularity that made the pitchers look
weary.
The Village team did not wait for pre
liminaries, landing four runs at their
first try at the bat on a hot liner by
Morris, a base on balls for Lewis, Fitz
gerald's Texas leaguer ; Eastman's single
scoring Morris, a wild throw to third
scoring Lewis and Fitzgerald and East
man coming home on a wild throw to
first, Sumner making first on the error,
but Walsh and Heisman leaving him
waiting by striking out. It was one,
linas got to going with a hike for Glea
son and a hit by Edson; but Gleason
was nailed at third, and Bailey's fly fell
into Gale's hands.
Two more runs for the Village in the
sixth gave them the game without ques
tion ; a base on balls, two pitcher's errors,
wild throw and Sumner's hit to left,
doing the trick ; The Carolinas couldn't
seem to find the ball at their try.
The seventh was an ought for The Vil
lage ; The Carolina landing one run on
Norris' single and Dellohn's hit to right ;
Gleason and Edson ending it with easy
ones.
In the eighth The Carolina made an
other try, Bailey's single and two wild
throws landing him at home; with a
shut out for the Village. The last time
