...next game the ragged work in the infield was neutralized by superb hitting resulting in an 11-2 victory over the Old Colony Trust nine. But in the next game on May 2 the fielding showed the results of Coach Raymond's intensive work to improve the combination, for the team played an errorless game with St. John's Preparatory School, winning by a 16-3 score...
