t Twice did the local hurlers take
the count OF the Salisbury White
| Clouds on the local diamond yester-
day taking both ends Of double
| header from these airy persons. The
| first game went into extra innings,
| and was won in the eleventh, on a
walk to Reynolds, after Unglaub had
| gone out, Duffy to Bussey. Jake
! Flowers then hit a fly to Bush
| Wright, former representative of
| Cambridge, and that little fellow
obligingly dropped the ball. Warren
! then came through with the second
! boot of the inning, kicking Hinkle's
| grounder and putting three men on
| base. Dol Robinson then scored
| Reynolds from third with a sacrifice
| fly to center field. Reynolds scoring
! easily on tn ecatch.
| The second game was shortened
| to seven innings by mutual agree
| ment between the two managers,
and was won out in the local half OF
! the seventh when Reynolds again
, scored the winning run, this time on
a single by Schroll, who wat pinch
| hitting for Hinkle. Reynolds had
singled after Unglaub had flied out,
| and stole second while Flowers was
| being retired on strikes. Schroll
here went in to hit for Hinkle and
shot the ball between Schiefer and
Warren, scoring Reynolds with the
winning run. incidentally, this was
the only earned run of the day, on,
both sides of the question.
The outstanding features OF the.
day were pulled off during the first
contest, by Babe Adams, manager
and right-fielder of the White
Clouds, and Jake Flowers, who has
been spending the summer shortstop
ping for the Warriors. Adams made
two of the greatest catches ever seen
in the outfeld of local diamond,
each catch coming in pinch ana
cutting off Cambridge runs.
The first of Adams catches was
made in the eighth, on Unglaub.
with nobody nbase. The ball, how
ever, was hit on the nose, and looked
good for at least three bases, but
Adams brought it down with his
gloved hand after long run. The
second was greater than this, be-
cause it was made in the ninth, with

ming run on third. Herb Armstrong
hit what is said to be the longest
ball ever hit on the local diamond in
side the fence. 1t seemed imEossi-
BILE to the fans for any man to get
near enough to the ball to make a
catch of it,but this Adams dia, send
the game into extra innings.
Jake Flowers pulled two plays OF
a similar order, with the exception
that they were in the infeld and on
ground balls. His stop and throw
of Kunosh's hit back of second. with
a runner on second and two out in
the fifth, saved a Salisbury run,
while second stop of the same kind
again prevented the enemy from
scoring in the eleventh. The bali
was too deep to allow Flowers to
throw out his man on this play, but
he fielded it and held the ball. hold
ing Warren on third, whereas he
would surely have scored should the
ball gone into the outfield. i
By winning the first game by
to score, Oscar Shertzer turned in
his fourth shut-out victory since
joining the club. In sodoing he al

Eddie Plank twirled the nightcap. I
and he too help the enemy to eight
hits, two of which were scratches,
struck out five, and allowed one
pass. Plank, too, was in several
bad holes, but like his teammate,
pulled through without anything ter
rible resulting. The one run scor-
ed by Salisbury coming on a ques-
tionable decision at first, when Reyn-
olds could not recover Bush

The work of Tony Staylor behind
the bat must not be forgotten. His
good throwing arm accounted for
four Salisbury deaths at second base

turned back in their attempts to
steal a base. Staylor's throwing
