Nichols has struck out 96 men in the eight championship games, and has allowed his opponents to make but 42 hits. In addition to this record in the field, his work at the bat has been such that his friends look for a home run whenever he takes his place at the home plate...

With the aid of Bickham's put-out, and the single by Reynolds, Cooper was enabled to score, and Reynolds, also crossed the plate by means of two successful steals...
