...flunked the batting test. Afield he showed a minor talent, too. His aim was erratic and he had to be moved from shortstop to second base for the easier peg to first. All he seemed to have was dazzling speed on the bases and a modest, earnest attitude that quickly put him in solid with his white Montreal teammates...
...DeKalb and Nevens walked. Moravec committed a balk, advancing them a base, Page fanned. The next man up, Clark, hit an easy grounder to Sullivan at third. In an effort to cut the runner off scoring from third, Sullivan threw the ball in to the plate. The peg was good, but it hit DeKalb in the back and rolled into the Crimson dugout, allowing Nevens to score also, and sending Clark to third from where he scored on a squeeze play by Finnegan. Towne ended the inning by striking...

Harford made a running one handed catch of what looked like a sure hit, and then tossed an excellent peg to catch the blue-jacket trying to score from third, retiring the side and ending the Navy's only serious threat with only two runs...
