IS Victories in so Games

CLUB HAD BEEN
WELL SUPPORTED

cRIsFIELD. Nd. Sept 1.-THE
Crisheld Baseball Club disbanded
here Saturday week after winning
the last two games OF the season.
The victims were from Temperance
Vile. Va, who came 20 Crisneld on
Monday with blood in their eyes
and a well-balanced teamg The re-
sult was that Crisheld took both
games from the Virginians by a
score of 10 to in each instance.
u Murphy and Link were the bat
teries for Crisheld in the first stanza
and Knoedler and Link in the sec
ond. The visitors secured but one
hit of Knoedler during the entire
second session.
The management OF the Crisheld
Club. as well as the baseball fans in
general is well satisfied with the
results attained by the club for the
nlavine season. The club played so
games and lost IS. making an
average of 700, which is the high
est average attained by any club
on the Eastern Shore. The CLUB
also has the honor and distinction
Of using a smaller number of play
ers than any other club on the
shore. The team was composed OF
all Baltimore boys, most Of whom
will play in major leagues next sea
son. as Jack Dunn. of the Orioles
has signed several for berths next
year.
Crisfield is considered one OF the
best baseball towns on the Eastern
Shore because OF the heavy gate re-
ceipts and large attendance eVl-
denced at each game The ciuo.
under the careful management OF
Harry c. Lewis and Charles W.
Ralph. was a success in every par
tcular.
Arrangements will be made soon
to organize q schedule and associa-
ton for league on the shore next
season. Although Crisield lost TO
Pocomoke City in the one-game
elimination series, they took their
defeat philosophically and played
the part Of good sports. Princess
Anne. in turn. eliminated Pocomoke
City by a score OF IA TO IL, thus
gaining the privilege to represent
the Eastern Shore against Fred
erick. the pennant winner OF the
Blue Ridge League.
The day following Pocomoke
defeat Crisfeid trimmed Princess
Anne to the tune Of 10 1, almost
shutting them out. Many Of the
baseball enthusiasts are frank to say
that Crisfeld was the stronger clut
and the most eligible to face Fred
