...batting, only four hits being made during the entire game. The team was facing, it is true, an unusually good pitcher, and part of the weakness in batting was due to his effectiveness, but part of it was caused by the fact that the men struck too hard instead of simply meeting the ball as they have been coached to do. Randall's home run in the sixth inning, however, was made at the most timely moment of the game, and scored three runs. R. Kernan played most creditably behind the bat, although he had not entirely recovered from...
...other hand is usually very poor though occasionally the men improve for a while. They all have a tendency to bat at high balls, and are unable to hit successively. It has been decided not to have a training table for the team, as the schedule is not sufficiently hard to warrant it. The batting orders follows: SECOND NINE. ROXBURY LATIN. Greenough, r.f. s.s., Richardson Marshall, 2b. r.f., Jameson Lovering, e.f. c., Wendell Fischell, 1b. 3b., Knowles Bolton, 3b. 2b., Kennedy Blatterman or Carpenter, l. f. p., Drisko Bennett, s.s c.f., Aronson parker, c. l.f. Draper Smith, p. 1b., Balley

...other candidate for the position, is generally slow, though his base-running is fair. L. 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...
...base-running, practically cost the West Point game. Behind the bat, R. P. Kernan caught very well, and showed vast improvement over his form of last year, while his throwing to base left nothing to be desired. Although he has improved in his batting, the fault of striking too hard was still conspicuous. In the Annapolis game, however, he succeeded in making two home runs and a three-base hit out of six times at bat. Stephenson, while showing some improvement in covering the ball, proved weak on low pitches, and slow in throwing to bases...
