...fumbling has been prevalent and has been responsible for the large scores made against them. Kernan and Aldrich have been doing the most consistent hitting, each of them getting 6 hits and 3 runs in the last four games.

Captain Peters is now back in the game, having been out on account of an injured arm, acquired in the South Carolina game. Third base...
