...especially weak between the pitcher's points, an up-hill game evidently not being Carter's forte. Tyng caught remarkably well. Ernst pitched effectively. Winsor and Holden made remarkable fly catches. Thayer caught a seemingly impossible foul bound. Nunn and Latham fielded finely, while Howe led at the bat...
