The minor faults which are easily corrected at the beginning rapidly give place to more serious ones as the men become tired; there is a noticeable lack of control, both in shoving down the legs and in holding them on the recover, and a very marked weakness at the finish. The catch is strong, but the stroke is not held out powerfully to the end, and on the recover the men when tired rush their slides...
...does not finish the stroke through strongly as he uses up his leg power too soon and carries the weight of the finish on his back and arms alone.

Stillman pitched a creditable game, though lacking his usual good control. For Pennsylvania Collier and Shape did most of the hitting. The infield had easy chances for the most part, and, except in the eighth inning played a good game...
