...hour's batting practice at the nets the men were given their regular work in batting and fielding on the University diamond. Kernan and Reid started in the battery positions and later gave place to McDonald and Eldridge. J. D. Clark and Kendall played first base, Fincke second, Coolidge shortstop, G. C. Clark third, and Jaynes, Stillman, Ewer, Christenson and Wendell in the outfield. Loughlin, Christenson, Kendall, Wendell, Reid, J. D. Clark and Stillman were given chances at batting and base-running. Kernan and McDonald held the batters down well. The base-running lacked dash, partly on account...
...fairly well and with good support would probably have won his game. Neither Bartlett nor Marean caught satisfactorily, both throwing poorly and dropping many pitched balls. Foster, at first base, was also weak in fielding and at times showed poor judgment. Story and Van Amringe, at third base and shortstop, did well, but Jackson, at second base, was weak on thrown balls and made a bad fielding error. In the outfield, Clarkson did fairly well, Comins fielded his position satisfactorily except for one bad error, and his throw to the plate in the eighth inning was the feature...
...only one man past second base. The team played well together, the batting was good and the base-running showed improvement over recent games. In bunting, however, the men showed unusual weakness. Loughlin made four brilliant catches in centre-field in addition to a two-base hit. Coolidge at shortstop fielded his position without an error, and Fincke made three base-hits in four times at the bat. Stillman pitched a strong game, using good judgment and giving Virginia only five scattered hits...
...retired with the bases full. On the other hand the men showed no impatience and generally good judgment in batting. Kernan pitched well except in the sixth and seventh innings when he let down and allowed Tufts five hits and a base on balls. Coolidge played brilliantly at shortstop and made the prettiest play of the game in the seventh inning, when he stopped a hard grounder with one hand and cut off Curran at the plate. He also led the team in batting with a single and a double...
...candidates for shortstop. Devens is a fair fielder but is slow and has poor judgement. An awkwardness in fielding combined with a slight weakness in throwing offset Wheelock's excellent judgement and stick-work. Coolidge is the most promising candidate and is one of the best fielders on the team. His throwing and batting, though good, are not quite up to his fielding; but he has a thorough knowledge of the game...
