REVIEW OF THE WORK DONE BY
THE FREELAND CLUB FOR
THE SEASON OF '91.

Although it is over a month since the
last game of ball was played by the
Freeland Club. and the appearance of
the records and averages given to-day
may seem rather tardy, they were with
held since then in the expectation that
at least one more game would be played
this season. Manager Hanlon had hopes
of arranging contest with one of the
leading Association Clubs, but failing to
arrive at satisfactory terms, he an
nounces the season of 1891 closed. The
figures and tables presented in this re-
view of the work done by the team and
its players will prove valuable to the
patrons of the game who wish to keep it
for reference. The records and averages
have been carefully computed from the
sco.e-books of the club, and have been
pronounced correct by the manager, P.
III. Hanlon, and the scorer, o. J. Boyle.
The record of the club includes all the
games played, excepting the game with
the Cincinnati Ladies Club, the score of
which was not taken. The following

The individual fielding averages, as
given in the table below, are complete,
except in one respect. The position of
the player is not stated, owing to the
continued changes made in the personal
of the club. Welch is the only member
of the club who played in every game.
Only those players who participated in
four or more games are included in these
averages. In all, thirty-fve persons
played with the Freeland Club this sea-
son, but the twenty-five not mentioned
played in less than four games. This
table gives the number of games played,
put outs, assists, errors, total chances
and the percentage of chances accepted
by each player, the last column showing
the fielding average:
