CAMBRIDGE LANDS
OPENING CONTEST
Defeats Richmond Sunday
Afternoon by the Close
Score of 3 to ,.
BY JACK THOMAS.

Lack of hitting when hits meant
runs, caused the locals to drop a game
to the Cambridge City Greys yesterday
by the score of to 2. The game
would have been splendid one except
for the rotten unpiring. Jumps refus-
ed to see any kind of play except fly
outs, those he couldn't miss.
Richmond hit into double plays
when runs should have been made,
and otherwise had bad luck. Batson
pitched good ball, and clamped down
tight when hits were needed. Rich
mond made ten clean hits to the Wis
itors' seven, but they were too badly
scattered. A ninth inning rally netted
two Runs, but with two men on bases,
Boil, the last batter, could not con-
meet, and the umpire called high
ball strike, and the game was over.
Cambridge started in the second in
ming, two clean hits over third, coupl-
ed with muff by Supp let in the
first run. The next man hit into a
double play, Martin to Powell, retir-
ing the visitors. In the fifth they
scored on a hit, fly out advancing
the runner, and sacrifice bunt. Tur.
ner pulled off a great play, running
backward and spearing with one hand
a fly that looked good for a three
Dagger.
In the sixth Cambridge started with
muffed fly by Turner, advancing on
sacrifice hits, and scoring on Clark's
two Dagger into center field. Clark
was the heavy man with the stick,
getting two singles and a double out
of four times up.
Richmond should have gotten runs
ing to second on Smiths hit. Supp
hit to first and the ball was thrown
to the catcher. Feldhaus evaded the
catcher, but the umpire called him
out. He was safe by small margin.
Belts hit to second, who fumbled, and
Stems hit into double play.
In the ninth, however, Richmond
made game rally. Supp was safe
on an error, Belts hit to third and
was out, but Supp advanced. Stems
hit over third, scoring Supp, Turner
hit to short, who cut off Boil drumming
for Steins) at second, but Turner
safe on first. Powell then hit to the
center fielder, who dropped the ball,
and Martin lined to third, and the ball
was fumbled, allowing Turner to score
but Boil ended the rally by whiting.
We'll get 'em Monday" was the
sentiment expressed by the locals.
