...practice game between ninety-four and ninety-six yesterday afternoon was a poor exhibition. Both elevens played miserably, especially '94. The work was far weaker than in the B. A. A, game. Almost every long run of the backs was due rather to a misplay of the opponents than to their own skill. The three touchdowns were the direct result of poor tackling.

Hovey in particular played a remarkable game at short stop. In the fifth inning, with one man out and Mendenhall on first base, Woodcock hit a hard grounder to short. Hovey...
...made a hit; Howland muffed Dooms' liner and the bases were full; Downer pitched well and struck Smith out; with two men out, Mansell knocked a high fly to Mason, who misjudged it first and then slipped in trying to get it. Field scored the winning run on the misplay. The score...
