...first base, Minot failing to try for an out at first, though the play seemed possible. Watson flied out to Rogers, but Judson, batting for Carvahar, was passed, putting Thompson on second, and after Howard had flied out, Thompson scored from second by exceptionally fast running on Owen's infield hit to Lanigan, the throw from third to first and from first to the home plate being a bit slow.

No errors were made in the outfield by either side, and for the most part the ball was also handled cleanly in the infield, though the play here was not fast and in some cases was unintelligent...
