Both of these boys earned their places by virtue of some big stick work, and both of them can cover ground. Gordon's batting mark for the entire schedule was approximately a cool .560, tops for loop batters. Lyford of Lowell had a neat .552. The second twirler, Dick Story of Lowell, is no slouch and earns his place as a result of steady work in every game...
...there is any speck that could mar the efficient working out of these improvements, it is in that slight word "flexibility" which is not seldom used to cover a multitude of sins and open a fortress of loop-holes.

This record gives them a mark of .960, the second best fielding average compiled in the League to date. But for the Cornell debacle, the Stahlmen would be coasting along with an average about 20 percentage points higher...
