CAMBRIDGE Wins
HARD BATTLE
Hard Hitting And Spectacular Field
ms Feature Win Over Salisbury
BY To { Score.

Cambridge took a hard fought
battle from Salisbury yesterday,
breaking their winning streak me
game was one OF the most exciting
ever seen in Salisbury and kept the
on-lookers on edge from start to mn
ish- Even until the last bail was
pitched was it anybody's ball game.
Those who have been criticislng
the work of "Augie" Schroll should
have seen him work yesterday, when
in reality he should have been upon
the sick-list. While he was found
for quite a few hits, and was tribe
wild. he was effective in the plnches
and fought all the way, until he was
taken out in the ninth BUSH
Wright finishing the game.
Bush" went in with one out, ana
runners on first and second. He hit
Bob" Brown, filling the sacks. and,
with the stands in an uproar, things
looked very bad indeed. A base hit
would have tied the score. and a
second one won it. Bush" laid
the next one over to Wolfe, and ne
lined to Flowers, who threw to John-
son. doubling Adams off third ana
ending the game.
Hank" Griggs and Doe Dolan,
led the onslaught, Doe getting
three singles in five trips to the
plate and Hank" connecting for
three out of four. While those OF
Dolan were all singles, two of
Griggs' smashes were for extra
bases, and figured in scoring. His
first hit was a two-bagger to center
in the sixth. He went to third when
Kunosh cut off Duffy's hard ground
er toward center and scored on
Staylor's hit through shortstop
Griggs' second hit was terrific drive
over left center field fence i'll the
seventh inning, with Dolan and Mel
vim on base, and Salisbury leading
by-ono run.
This hit won the ball game. fol
Salisbury did not score further. In
the next inning, just to make
things a little safer, "HerE'' Arm
strong got hold OF a fast one and
dropped it over the fence for another
homer Two were out aid no one
en- base when the hit was delivered
Three hone-runs were hit during
the game, Bob" Brown getting one
for Salisbury Brown also sot
two base hit.
The game was marked by many
spectacular plays. Babe Adams
in right field, robbed Melvin and
SchroIl of what seemed to be extra
base hits Wolfe made 4 fine catch
OF foul back of third of Arm
strong's. Thompson robbed Mel
vim of another hit, by knocking down
his grounder and sliding into first
base. Both men reached the bag at
the same time, but the umpire
called Melvin out. Hart and Ku-
nosh nipped an attempt at double
steal by catching Duffy at the plate
Staylor going for second. 1t seem
ed to the spectators that Duffy had
slid across the plate when tagged
but he was ruled out.
Members of the Cambridge team
also came in for a share in this
deadly work. Duffy, after running
some distance after Harris fly in tie
third, stepped into hole ard fell
headlong, but came up holding the
ball Johnson robbed Hart of a hit
by making beautiful one-handed
stop in thesecond Armstrong and
Staylor caught Kunosh at the plate
in the seventh inning, preventing
the tying run from scoring. Staylor
blocked Kunosh off, while Army
caught him with a perfect play.
The double play by Johnson and
Flowers in the ninth ending 'the
game, was made on a line drive over
Flowers head, but he na5bed it and
caught Adams fat-footed off third.
