CRISfIELD YESTERDAY
Johnnie Clayton strikes Out Thlt-
teen Crisfield Batsmen. sfisneid
Got One Homer But Could NOT
Stem Tide Against Them.

Oh, JOY! oh rapture un1ofeseeh'
The Cambridge ball club has won
Two games in g row, and three games
in -four days. They trimmed CTls-
field on their home grounds yester-
dav to the tune OF 7 TO 4 it is
worthy OF note TO mention that TWO
of the past victories have been won
on the home grounds OF the oppon-
ents. This may mean that the boys
have struck their stride and are
about to cast gloom over the rest OF
the circuit and spread unbounded
JOY in Cambridge. and D"rchseter
county.
A product of the said Dorchester
county, one Johnny" Clayton
wit. and a resident of this. our ra1r
city of Cambridge, was on the hill
top tossing up his wares for the de-
lation of the Crisfield clubbers, but
the clubbers failed TO club. John
ny" turned thirteen of them back to
the bench via teh strike out route.
and allowed them only seven scat
tered hits. One of these hits ac-
counted for two of Crisfeld's runs,
Goetzel's homer coming with man
on base and making the score stand
three to two.
Cambridge got these runs back in
the next inning, however, when
Brown walked and was forced at
second by Grigg. Duffy singled to-
left, putting Griggs on second, from
which he scored on Flowers single.
Duffy taking third. Armstrong fore
ed the delayed steal; Armstrong al
lowing himself to be caught between
first and second, and holding the at
tention of the infielders while Duffy
scored, Armstrong then let himself
be tagged out.
"Bill' Johnson continues his
drive for the batting lead. He
is credited with two safe blows, one
a home run, from five trips to the
plate, and being hit by Wheeler on
his first appearance. giving him ar
average of 500 for the day.
His first hit, single in the second
drove over Armstrong and Dolan
with the first runs OF the game. He
scored himself minute later OF
Browns single to right. Johnson
. scored Clayton and himself in the
sixth on his home run clout over the
score board in right field. He also
put up fine game at third base
| In speaking OF fine plays, we. must
! not forget this one. In the eighth,
! with one out, Tagg hit hard one to
Clayton who managed to defect it
! toward short Flowers had started
toward second, but changed his
! course. picked up the ball with his
| right hand and snapped it to first,
beating Tagg by hair. This was
one of the prettiest plays of the con-
test
Another nice play was made by
Dittmar and Carroll. on Grigg's
sharp one to shirt, Dittmar fielding
the bail and nabbing Brown at see
ond. The ball was thrown badly,
but Carroll trapped it nicely.
Jack" Bunting, caught spltn-
did game. Besides this he lived up
to his name. Twice he was forced
to lay down sacrifices, and on his
last appearance. beat out a bunt to
Wheeler, earning a base hit. Bunt-
ing ha sheen catching a fine game
ever since the injury of Swingler
forced him out OF the game. 1t
would appear from the work of this
pair that Cambridge need not wor-
ry about its catching staff.
Reifschneider, Crisfield's third
sacker, was banished from the field
in the sixth, for disputing 4 DECISION
by Umpire Derby.
Crisfield plays here today, and the
local boys are the favorites for to-
days game. Should they win. all
eyes in the State will be upon them
tomorrow, when they journey to-
Parksley, to do :le battle with the
league leaders And. should they
manage TO win thar game, Comnun-
ity Park will not be large enough to
accommodate the crowd which will
attend the gam, hero Thursday
