...walked, took second on a sacrifice bunt, and came home on a single to left centre. The Rovers annexed two in their half of the second. Frye hit safely, and took second when Abbott's easy grounder was booted. Both men were advanced on a passed ball. Fripp's single scored Frye, and Abbott counted a moment later when the pitcher made a wild heave to catch him off third...
...good for a complete circuit. Gannett got a hit, took second on Fripp's grounder, and scored when Ashley's fly to centre was muffed. In the ninth with one out, Abbott got to third on an infield hit, stole second, and went to third on a passed ball, but the next two men flied out. The score: Innings, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9--R. H. E. Rovers, 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 0--3 8 2 Calumet...

A sacrifice by to left field produced the two runs which won the game...

Catlett was the pivotal point in these successful forward passes, all of which netted long gains...
...before the open chance-taking style of play, in which wide-sweeping runs will be interspersed with forward, double and delayed passes. This does not mean that fundamentals of the leading schools of football will be thrown to the winds to be replaced by haphazard throwing about of the ball. On the contrary, the first games showed that the big elevens are better grounded at this period of the year in the essentials of sound football than in several seasons, and this despite the heavy handicap of the weather during the preliminary practice season...
