Boyden played well in centre field. In the second inning he shut out a run at the plate by fielding in a base hit in short order. A difficult catch of a liner in the fifth inning brought forth the enthusiastic applause of the audience. Blackington at third took in grounders marvellously well. He accepted eight chances without an error. Clarke as he has done regularly for the last six years, at Crown, caught in fine form and did not have a passed ball.

Stagg got his base on balls and stole second but was left there as Noyes flied out to Mumford...

In the seventh, Eastman reached first on Foster's muff, a very excusable error however...
