Since coming to Red Top the crew has made the tremendous progress that is characteristic of Wray's crews on reaching the Thames. Before coming here the men had neither catch nor finish but now they have both. Wray has laid most of his emphasis on a very hard finish and a quick spring away of the hands and body which gives the boat speed on the recovery which is slower. He has also insisted on a firmer catch. The result has been that the men have gained the individual form to produce a fast crew and all that...

Ostergren stole second, and when Frye threw to Clark to catch him napping, R. Murray scored. Two more were added in the next session. With two out, Dolan was hit by a pitched ball and went to third when Clark muffed Murphy's fly. Both scored on R. Murray's single...
