Carr played hard and fast, and made the most of his chances. His catch of a short bunt fly was brilliant. Kernan at catcher failed to hold strikes, showing in this respect no improvement over his work in former games. H. Kernan played well in the field and batted well for his first game, his whole work showing good spirit...
...Lang out from foul bunt on third strike...

Three times when the first man up in an inning reached first base the second batter sacrificed him to second with an excellent bunt, and the run was then scored on a hit. If the game had been close this system would have been very valuable. In the field, the almost mechanical team play in throwing and backing up did not, however, lessen the blame for the six bad errors...
...held at third in the third inning, and a fast double play in the ninth were both brilliant plays. In spite of a strong wind Clark, Wendell and Stillman caught several high flies which were hard to judge. Stillman, Clark and Fincke made excellent sacrifices on well placed bunts, and Stillman made a hit by beating out a bunt...

Frantz covered first base satisfactorily, and Coolidge fielded his position remarkably well. Clark's one assist was on a bunt, which he handled cleanly and quickly. Murphy opened the game with an error, but after that did well. In the whole game Lafayette hit the ball to the outfield but once, and then it was easily handled by Putnam.
