While the fielding on the whole was not up to the standard it was not the kind to cause discouragement, and the hitting was excellent. Eight clean hits were secured off Skillen, five of which were bunched in the first and last innings. McCall's work at second was brilliant.

His team is well balanced and shifty and contains two exceptional infielders in Richardson...
