Captain Reid was unsuccessful at the bat and in the field made two wild throws, one of which resulted in a run. His speed and watchfulness, however, kept the Chicago runners very close to the bases. Frantz again made a home run, but at times he did too much swinging at bad balls. His slowness in fielding a ball to the plate gave Chicago her only run. Clark and Wendell did very well at the bat, making timely and well placed hits. Fincke, after only two day's practice, went in at second and played excellently. He made two difficult...

Frantz played a fast game in the field, covered a great deal of ground, and at the bat made two timely singles. Wendell made two singles, but could not hit when men were on bases. Murphy, George and Putnam were again unable to hit satisfactorily. Reid was very fast on the bases, but not as steady as usual behind the bat...
