...safe bunt. McCall at second played in last year's form, and accepted six chances without an error. His clever stop back of second and quick throw to Simons which ended the game was a brilliant piece of work. Briggs was steady on first base and had fourteen put-outs to his credit. The batting of the team as a whole was not as strong as might have been expected...
