shipments are concerned there was no
reason to blame railway company.
The trucks would certainly have togo

Cambridge Beats Salisbury
Local Boys Run Completely Away
With Opponents, Score 10 10 +.

Cambridge High Schools base ball
team completely routed the WicOm-
leo High School nine at Athletic Park
Friday afternoon. While the visitors
improved toward the end of the
game Cambridge got such lead in
the opening innings, that the Sails
bury contingent could not hope for
victory
The locals made a flying start by
piling up five runs IN the first nm
ing, enough, as events proved to win
the game. They made two more in
the second and eight in the third.
Errors on the part of the visitors
and passed balls, playing large part
in the scoring.
The visitors were shut out until
the seventh when three of their runs
were scored.
With one on and none out Trego
fumbled a grounder and then threw
to second in time to catch the run
ner, but just too late to allow Rob-
inson to complete a double at first
The next batter singled and stole
second. A hot grounder through
Robinson sent two men across the
plate. The next batter hit fly back
of short which Tyler pulled down by
jumping into the air after hard
run, but he fell, rolled over and the
ball escaped, allowing another man
to cross the plate. Salisbury made
her last run in the eighth. They
had men on with none out several

the produce to the market quickly
they could have shipped it by motor
truck to Baltimore just as easily as
to Philadelphia.
THE trouble with Baltimore buy
ers is they don't get down to the
Eastern Shore, and they don't want
to pay cash. That is where the
Philadelphia and Wilmington buyers
get the advantage. They go down
and pay cash for what they get.
Philadelphia buyers buy eggs in large
quantities, but l never hear of any
Baltimoreans doing it. Our service
