...candidates for shortstop. Devens is a fair fielder but is slow and has poor judgement. An awkwardness in fielding combined with a slight weakness in throwing offset Wheelock's excellent judgement and stick-work. Coolidge is the most promising candidate and is one of the best fielders on the team. His throwing and batting, though good, are not quite up to his fielding; but he has a thorough knowledge of the game...

Ewer, however, is handicapped by being left-handed. Clay is still weak at batting, and both he and Clark are somewhat slow.

Ewer and Clay are perhaps quicker, and, like Clark, throw well. Should Clark pitch, the question will probably be one of batting ability...
