Players. Planning To Make Drive
Upon Second Place.

UPON Secolu fldcc.
Home runs were the order of the
day at Salisbury yesterday, when the
local Warriors, under the Leadership
of manager Herb" Armstrong di-
vided a twin bill with the White
| Clouds of that city.
Manager Armstrong, who re-join-
ed the club in Salisbury after a
scouting tour, managed the club from
! the bench and in civilian clothes.
and watched his hirelings rap the
[ old globule for fifteen basehits in
the first contest, including fouI
home runs, delivered from the clubs
of Bill" johnson Reynolds, new
conner. Jake" Flowers and Tony
Staylor. Each of these Ruthian
clouts were hard hit, and all were
| homers from the time they left the
plate.
Three Salisbury pitchers faced the
| local club, and each one was treated
| to a home run clout, Babe Adams
one of the best bets Of the Wicomlco
countians, was elected to receive two
of the blows, Reynolds uncorking
: the first one in the fourth inning,
with Unglaub on first base. They
Staylor raped out the second. lead
| ing off with it in the fifth. After
this, two more runs scored, and
Adams retired in the next inning in
favor of Bussey Staylor greeted
Bussey with sharp single to left in
the sixth, and after Eddie Plank
had sacrificed, Johnson came through

The next inning saw tall Jim
| Roche ascend the pitching peak, and
he held the fre-eaters until the
ninth when with Reynolds on first,
| Flowers caught a fast one and lined
| it over center field fen for his
eleventh four sack clout of the sea-
son. Until this hit, Salisbury fans
had entertained some slight degree
of hope, but this was the straw mat
broke the camel's back, and the
spectators gave up.
Eddie Plank, nephew OF the OLD
veteran, was Armstrong; choice as
starter and he held the opposing
swatters to two singles until the
sixth inning, when bad umpiring put
him in a hole, and Salisbury collect
ed five hits for as many runs, 'Augle
Schroll being rushed TO the front
and staying the onslaught by throw
ing out Schiefer for the last out OIL
the inning. Schroll then sat upon
the Clouds for the remaining three
innings, while his teammates added
two more counters to his side of the
column.
In the second game, home runs
again played prominent part. the
two opposing pitchers taking a four
DIV swat off each others delivery. Or'
rather. Schroll gained sweet revenge
for the homer Of sBush Wrlgnt'
which was hit off pitch made hign
and outside on purpose by Stans6ury.
Stansbury started the game for the
Warriors, but was taken out in the
second Schroll, the iron man, being
again thrown into the breach'
Schroll again hurled well, but ms
teammates were unable to connect
with the delivery of CASTOR BUSH
Wright, and Bush had the grand and
glorious feeling of defeating those
who were once his teammates.
Another Cambridge cast-off show
ed up well during these contests.
Nag" Duffy, who covered the first
sack for the enemy collected FIVE hits
during the day, and hit the ball
hard on every appearance at the
plate. Brown who has been out OF
the game for several days, did not
amount to much.
Bob Unglaub led the attack

Armstrong, collected homer.

games breaking into the game with
high honors Hinkle, another pro-
duct of Armstrong; tour, also broke
into the game, but not as suspicious
ly as did Reynolds. Hinkle, how

and will probably come through
later.
With all the heavy hitting. the
spectators almost forgot to look for
feature plays in the fielding. The
most prominent among THIS depart
ment of the games was a catch in

the opposing side.
Even though the local club did
not win both games, as every Cam
bridge fan wished, they gained a
half-game on Crisfield and a full
game on Pocomoke, while Salisbury
remains the same distance away.
Since Pocomoke City is the scene Of
today's contest a victory may mean
that the Warriors will finally come
out of the cellar, and once they do
come out, there will be no forcing
them back. Cambridge will not An

efforts of manager Armstrong viii:
