Notes & reviews

Game receipts donated to Salvation Army's Fresh Air Camp (home for poor children) in Sharon, MA.
Sensational running, jumping catch
Running catch
As Bancroft stepped to bat he was presented with a gold watch by players and officials of Boston.
Nice catch
It landed between Frisch and Meusel, then bounced awkwardly past Irish and rolled through Southworth.
Off Padgett's shin
Fluke single off Kelly
'Frisch tarried overlong and threw leisurely...the Holy Cross speedster beating the ball by the span of a grasshopper's ankle.'
Southworth missed a diving catch
Cleverly executed drag bunt
