Gallivan played his usual brilliant game. His error, the first which he has made this season, was entirely excusable. Palmer's pitching was very effective, only three good hits being made from his delivery. Thayer supported him well. Foss, Gallivan, Bailey and Litchfield bore off the batting honors...
