Jack Highlands allowed but one hit during the four innings he was in the box, and Andy Highlands was effective except in the fifth inning. Hallowell made the most brilliant play of the game. He caught a low fly just back of second, and while still running, threw to first before Thomas, who was by no means napping, could get back to his base...

High lands, as in Saturday's game, threw a man out at first when he could easily have caught a runner at third. The final score...

Hovey then knocked a high fly to right field and the game was ended...
