The most sensational squirt made by
any team in the league was that by the
Pawtucket aggregation on which Cum
bingham, Jr., is playing center. The
club won fifteen straight games which
placed it within six points of first
place.
Ado Mansfield, the Richmond boy,
is captain of the Broekton club. This
club has had more bad luck than any
other team in the league, players being
injured frequently and the team also
handicapped by not having one or two
positions filled with strong players.
