Young will be given a rest today and H. E. Reeves, substitute catcher, will be given his first chance in the game. Chase will replace Minot in right field. The former has made a good showing both in the infield and outfield on the second team, and has batted well, while with with one or two exceptions Minot has done nothing at the bat for some time and is liable to errors in his outfield play...

Another throw to second in an attempt to prevent Marshall from stealing resulted in another error, this one by Norton, who failed to get the short throw from the catcher, and Lanigan scored before the ball was recovered. Young and Babson closed the inning by hitting infield grounders, and Marshall was left at third...

Judson reached third on this play but Matchneer sent a grounder to Marshall for a third...
...runs. Minot was safe on Howard's high throw over first, allowing Potter to score from second and Minot to reach second base.
