...contestants had made good records and a close race was expected.

...decided not out, and Merrill made the winning run. The features of the game were the batting of Baker, the hot line catches of Baker and Beaman, the left-field play of Le Moyne and H. B. Hall and the third base play of Welch. Lovering's play at right-field was magnificent, as the score shows. His assist out at first of F.
