...result of this game, showing as it did that our nine can play a long and trying game with professionals without becoming in the least demoralized. It will be seen by the score that while we fielded as well as the Bostons we greatly excelled them in batting. We lost the game by one or two unfortunate errors in the eighth inning...
...lost the toss, and Leeds led off with a fine base-hit to right field, stole second base, and was left there.
