...batteries will be Upton and Wiggin, and Cummings and Stewart. The infield will play as follows: First base, Dickinson; second base, Frothingham; third base, Cook; shortstop, Sullivan. Abbot will play in left field. The spare battery will fill the remaining two positions of right and centre field...
...entire infield of last year will remain practically intact. Rich, who played second base, will not be back, but his place will be taken by Diehl, who, though substitute last year, played in a large number of games. In the battery it is hoped that Priest, the famous old Cornell pitcher, will again take the position. He is in college again, and if he can be induced to play Cornell will have one of the best pitchers on the college diamond. The position of catcher will be harder to fill in the absence of Captain Young of last year...

The infield did not play as good a game as usual all making an error apiece with the exception of Whittemore and he had but one chance. In the outfield Wiggin at centre put up a fine game, catching two difficult flies. O'Malley at left had but one opportunity and this he took. He, however, batted better than any one else on the nine, making three hits...
