CAPE MAY LOSES I TO SHERWOOD A. A. LA. TEAM HANDS CAPE, ( MAY THEIR FIRST DEFEAT OF TILE SEASON BY A NINTH INNING RALLY, .SCORE 3-1. The Cape May Baseball Club lost first game of the season last Sat- " Urday afternoon at the Columbia Rail . 3-1. The lucky winner was the Sherwood Athletic Club, of Philadelphia. Defeat didn't come until the ninth: fraine, when the visitors succeeded iu crossing the rubber twice, thus preventing what looked to be a long-' drawn tfut tie. Prior to the last inning, the score had been 1-1, Cape May securing their tally in the third, and the visitors theirs in the stxtfe. { Lee Lemmort, star pitcher for the , Capes, worked well, as usual, allow- j ing but four hits. 1 Ah unfortunate ' combination of circumstances known in baseball as bad breaks gave him his first defeat in the five games he has pitched. Crawford, the "Babe Ruth" of the local team, continued hfs orgy of hitting, slamming out three nifty i bingles. ' The box score of the game shows i Cape Map witji seven hits as compar1 cd with Sherwoods four, and Cape . May with only one error, the visitors '■ suffering five balls to bounce off : their gloves. When a team plays i better ball and then loses, it is blamed on the Jinx! Let us hope that the f Jinx is not here for the summer. ' Vineland will play here today. Come out and watch Cape May hit >' its stride again.
