...ambitiousness to get the ball over to first quickly. Whittemore played his usual steady game and distinguished himself by his catch of Stephenson's liner in the first inning. Wiggin played a great game in centre; a prettier throw than that by which he caught Reddington at the plate has not been seen on Holmes field for some time. Highlands pitched a fine game but made one wretched throw in the third inning...

Brooks hit to Winslow who got the ball but hesitated and then threw poorly to the plate. The ball escaped O'Malley and two runs came...
...made nine runs. In the first inning Whittemore hit safely, reached second on an error by Altman, who made a wild throw of Cook's hit, and got third on a passed ball. Dickinson fouled out to Payne. Scannell hit to short, who threw Whittemore out at the plate; then Wiggin flied out to short-stop...
