Standing OF The Club

Before one of the largest crowds
vet to assemble at Community Park
the Cambridge Warriors took bota
ends of a double header with the
Crisfield Crabbers, who have been
holding out for the position OF run
ner-up in the league race. and gam
ed couple of steps in their at
tempt to take second place for the
benefit of the Cambridge public.
Augie Schroll and Oscar Shertzer
were the victorious twirlers, Schroll
winning the first game by 4 to l.
while Shertzer won the second,
which was cut to seven innings, by
. to 1. Both pitchers allowed their
opponents only five scattered hlts'
Schroll striking out five and Shert-
ger one. Hummer for CrlSheld,
pulled the iron man stunt. and
pitched both games. In the hrst
game, Cambridge touched him up FOR
eight hits, five of them for extra
bases, but in the second he came
back and held them to three, one OF
which was a scratch hit and brought
over the winning run.
The first game was won i'll the
seventh inning. when Tony StayloE'
caught a high fast one and sent II
over left field fence for homer. Al
this time the score was one all, anu
it was anybody's game. This nil
broke the ice, however, and two
more runs came in later, one i'll the
seventh and one in the eighth. The
second game was also hard battle
from the start, and was won in the
sixth when Johnson walked. ING
laub sacrificed him TO second, Rayh-
olGs was called out on a bad Lnlrd
strike, and Flowers was purposelE
walked, Johnson taking third on a
wild pitch that came during the pro
cess of passing Flowers. Eddie
Plank was then sent in to hit for
Hinkle, who is in the midst of a
slump, and Plank hit a slow roller
to Murphy for the scratch hit that
scored johnson and won the game.
Not many fielding flashes were
pulled off the work of Bob Ung-
lauD in center holding the center OF
| the stage for the afternoon. ING
laub ranged right and left, pulling
down liners and flies, accepting
| nine chances for the afternoon. Jake
| Flowers had bad day at short,
| making three bad throws to first IN
| the first game. Jake came right
back in his usual form for the sec
! ond contest and made perfect pegs
on each of his chances. They all
have their bad days, but we still
mold out that Cambridge has the
best shortstop in the league. His
! hitting in the first game made ul
! for his errors, for he sent in two OF
the four runs while his boots did
not amount to anything.
! In mentioning the fielding plays,
! the stop of MAYORS drive through
pitchers box in the sixth inning
when hit would have meant the
! second Crisfield run, must not be
forgotten. Shertzer put out his
bare hand and intercepted the ball,
! throwing out the runner at first for
I the prettiest play of the day, besides
i saving the game for himself.
The hitting of Dittmar and Rob
inson was one of the features of the
/ first contest Dittmar getting a
double and triple off Schroll, while
| Robinson cracked out pair OF
! doubles off Hummer. Two-bagger
seemed to be the vogue among the
! Cambridge players, Reynolds and
Flowers also contributing in this
| line.
This is the fourth straight win
I for the local club and has set local
fans commenting on the chances for
/ the club taking second place. A
week ago, any person who said that
/ Cambridge would finish second, OF
even get out of the cellar was ridi-
culed by most of the fans. Herb
Armstrong kept up his nerve, how
ever and the nerve of his cohorts,
and has brought them out of the
cellar and into fourth place, and
only a game or two from the coveted
seat of honor, which means riding in
the band wagon just behind the
pennant winners. Herb is still fight
ing hard and still holds out that the
present Cambridge team is as good
