Cambridge Loses Again

Cambridge lost to fredericksburg
here yesterday by score of SIX to
three.
The game was about as slow
specimen of baseball as has been
seen on the Cambridge diamond.
Both teams were hampered by the
wildness of their pitchers.
Bennett, of Cambridge pitched only
two strikes in the first twenty two
balls thrown by him. TWO runs
we're forced across the plate IN the
first inning. Hummer of Federals-
burg was not quite so wild, but eV-
ecuted two balks which opened
long discussion between the umpire
and members of both teams.
Cambridge was making game
fight when the storm broke and emu
ed the game. Flowers went IN TO
pitch and Robinson and Mace were
sent into the lineup, and a rally
started that Melted two runs. wall
sent long drive to left tleld, Dut
was thrown out at third base, WIND
ing I'D the chances of his team
Barring the slowness at the peglh-
ming of the game and the time taken
M in argument with the umpire, the
game was a fairly good exhibition.
