...work ended with sharp fielding practice. A number of different plays were run through, the men showing up fairly well in every case, though they seemed a little slow after their hard work of the last two days. The outfielders had a very thorough practice under W. H. Rand '98, and B. H. Hayes '98. They played very well, covering a great deal of ground, and being generally sure in their work...

Kendall, though fairly sure on thrown balls, is still very weak in fielding batted balls, and his throwing yesterday was uncertain. The outfielders are showing considerable improvement in getting under long flies...
