...Although the Freshmen won by so large a score, their work on the whole was not very encouraging, as the fielding, especially that of the infield, was inaccurate, the baserunning very erratic and the bunting a failure when needed. In the outfield also the men were still slow in starting. At bat, however, there was encouraging improvement, and the throwing was also better. Except for the three bases on balls which he allowed, Burns pitched a fairly good game and showed up well at critical times. St. Mark's playing was marked by inability to bat and by weakness...

The fielding has often been sharp and fast, but shows too many lapses to be called reliable. The batting throughout the season has been weak, though in the last three games some improvement has been evident.

Coburn and Stillman have been pitching with fair effectiveness, and Clarkson's work has, as usual, been very strong, though he has hardly reached as yet his highest point...
