...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, is slow in starting and does not cover much ground. A lack of confidence is his most serious drawback at bat. His base-running, though fast, is careless. Gallagher, substitute for centre field, covers...
What will the "competent" man, who has fallen before the strong temptation of the three-year idea, attain?

...itself capable, it should have no difficulty in winning. The regular men will go into the game tonight and with Linehan at centre and Smith playing forward again, the playing of the New York trip should be materially improved. Since the return from the trip, however, the men have fallen short of the fast game developed previous to the Cornell game, and to win tonight it will be necessary for them to play a faster game than has been played by the team in the practice of the last two nights...
