Cincinnati High Clinches County Baseball Title Over Moravia
Cincinnati High School won the final county league game against Moravia 10 to 9 last Thursday afternoon here. The result clinched the championship for Cincinnati as both teams produced a modest, chilly day of baseball with more errors than fine play. Fans enjoyed the game despite the weather and the banners and prizes given out. Moravia fields the same squad next year, with hopes of improved play after a first season of baseball in many years.
