...Interloper" falls below the standard set by the rest of the number. It is uncertain in movement and conventional and colorless in incident and character-drawing...
...positions in the field are more uncertain and will depend in a large measure on the batting. Loughlin shows far more judgment and does better fielding work than any of the others, though his throwing is rather weak. In batting he fails to pick the ball cleanly off the bat. Jaynes lacks experience and is weak in flies that come over his head, but he is improving in batting. Christenson's work, though fair, needs activity and life. Stewart is another one of the men who are constantly improving as they gain more experience. His work on the bases...
...slides and hang at the full reach is noticeable. The crew has lately been greatly strengthened by the return of Bullard to 6, Atkinson being moved back to 2 to replace Champollion, but yesterday Campbell at 3 was ill and obliged to cede his place to Merritt.

The sketch, however, is not lacking in good points and some of the repartee has a very collegiate tone--"What's the use of a roommate if you can't insult him?" Jack asks Bill. To which Bill meekly replies he's glad to be of use. The characters for so slight a composition are sketched with considerable skill...
