...with University players Abbot slammed a liner toward left field which looked good for two runs, but Reilly made a great leap in the air and stopped it with one hand, retiring the side. Hunter distinguished himself by his game tries for foul balls. He caught one near the third base bleachers after banging into the fence. Abbot and Reed did great work on the force-out play, while Brickley featured the hitting by getting three safeties out of four trips to the plate, making his average for the two games...

Captain Hardwick's impressive record as a conformed slugger overshadows Reilly's slick-work, but at third base the Yale man is undoubtedly the better. This is his third year on the team, and he has a record for sure, fast and spectacular felding, while Hardwick has been working under the disadvantage of a mid-season shift from left field. Reed, at short, has been showing up well...
