...second base, Leonard who has been appointed temporary captain, is improving steadily, especially in batting. J. F. Burns, the other candidate for the position, is generally slow, though his base-running is fair. L. Grant is covering third base well both in handling short bunts and fast hits. At bat he bunts well, but has a tendency to hit high balls. Nichols at first base is a hard worker and covers a good deal of ground on foul flies. He has, however, fallen off in his batting within the last two weeks. Spencer, who is trying for centre field...

The hits were, however, advantageously massed at opportune moments. In this department, Matthews did the best individual work, making four safe hits out of six chances at the bat including a three-base and a two-base hit. The base-running of the men showed great improvement over their...
