A large number of Cambridge
fans were in the stands while fans
from Snow Hill, Crisfeld and Parks
ley also pulled hard for the War
riors. Wet grounds in Salisbury
prevented a game there, and the
aggregation under Poke " Whalen's
guidance watched the Cambridge
POcomOkc game.
1t was expected by many that
trouble would arise at this game, AS
an aftermath of Wednesdays mix
up, but nothing of the sort eccurr-
ed. Not a semblance of ill-feeling
was shown, the only argument being
with the umpire with the usual
shop worn and expected reasons. The
umpire is always target, and his
decision bound to be questioned by
one side or the other. This, how
ever, is looked for in baseball, and
is all right in its place, but when the
fans enter into the argument, max |
ing show of physical force. things
are being carried too far. But moth !
ing of this sort occurred, SO why
worry.
The score:
