himself at bat and in the field. Steve
Yerkes was as steady as rock at
second base, and his batting was
timely. He seldom failed TO deliver

had to play first base nearly all the
year on account of the injury to Man
ager Stahls foot, played the bag in a
manner that made the other first
basemen Jealous. The catchers-
Carrigan and Cady-were like stone
walls behind the bat, and the pitch
