and was very slow on the bases. Most of
their tallies were gifts.
johnson, Davis, Reuhr and Barkey led at
the bat for the Institute, and the fielding of
White, johnson and Davis was noticeable.
For Nottingham, Connor, Wiley and Gillespie
did most of the batting, while the work in
the field of McConnon and Snyder was by
