...another and showed up very strongly. Ames proved very effective, allowing only four hits and giving no bases on balls. O'Malley gave him good support behind the bat, though his throwing to bases was not quite up to his usual standard. Whittemore and Griffin played steadily in the infield, and Selfridge and Paine made brilliant running catches...
...inning by Morton, who made two errors. Buckman, who took Scannell's place in the eighth, had no chance to distinguish himself. The game was lost not on account of poor playing by any one or two men but by the wretched fielding of the whole nine.

Stevens made three errors, one of which was excusable as it was not his ball, but he otherwise fielded excellently, covering a great deal of ground...

After the batting practice, the team took the field. The fielding was clean and the throwing accurate throughout, the infield playing particularly well...
