...Page, was at last by 1-4 inch at Travers Island by Sweeney. The high vault record was also changed, Rodenbough surpassing Baxter's record of 11 feet 5 inch s by 3-8 inch. In the hammer and weight throwing also, new records were made by Mitchell, who threw the hammer 145 feet 3-4 inch, and the 56 lb. 35 feet...
...half-back C. Brewer and Arnold both did fine work. The fact that Fennessy strained his neck early in the game threw the brunt of the work on these two men, and they did it well, maintaining their remarkable snap and precision throughout the game. Both tackled well, but each made one miss, of which Brewer's, though by far the most excusable since he never got his hands on his man, was the most costly. Both ran well, too, and Brewer's two sprint of 50 and 38 yards respectively were the longest of the game...

Bowers followed the lead, and ended the inning...

Lowe hit a sharp one to Cook who threw wild, letting Duffy score and Lowe to second. An error by Dickinson let Lowe to third and Tucker to first. While Lowe tried to score on the latter play, and was being run out between the bases, Tucker went to third. Stovey went out for the third out on a grounder from Hovey...
