June 7, 1867.–AT A SPECIAL MEETING OF the KEYSTONE BASE BALL CLUB, held this evening, the resignation of THOMAS H. BERRY was read, and upon its consideration, the following was adopted:

Resolved, As a matter of self-respect and the good of the game generally, and a waning to such players in future, we therefore EXPEL the said Thoms H. Berry from our association, for conduct unbecoming a gentleman and a ball player.

...

[Keystone vs. Quaker City 6/10/1865] Owing to the mean and unprincipled desertion of Berry...it was thought the Keystones would make a poor figure...
