...might have been expected, the defensive work of the Chicago team was far better than their aggressive play. They showed very little team work, but the individual work of the men was very good.

The engineer noticed a smell of smoke the day before the out break but had been unable to discover any fire, and after taking special precautions to prevent it had left the boat. Repairs will be pushed immediately. The coachers are laboring under disadvantages at present, as the burning of the launch has taken away their only means of doing effective coaching. The old launch was ordered by Captain Hartwell, but word was sent back...
