...credit of the victory, however, lies chiefly with Hayes and Reid; Hayes for his pitching and fielding, Reid for his catching and batting. Hayes had absolute control over the ball with very good curves and speed. He gave no bases on balls and struck nine men out.

She is also faster than the old launch, having a guaranteed speed of 16 knots...
