...Downer making another home-run on what should have been a single base-hit, the ball bounding sideways and thus passing Fessenden. Howe played pluckily behind the bat, and caught Ernst's pitching remarkably well for a first attempt. Thayer, Wright, Alger, Latham, and Holden played well in the field.

They must by no means neglect fielding practice...
