Caldwell : A dashing and plucky bat, but with little real defence ; a fine but rather uncertain field , and a smart wicket-keeper ; a fairly good fast bowler, but too erratic in pitch to be good; a most energetic and efficient captain , with a considerable know- ledge of the game, and good judgment in managing the bowling. *Leslye B. Moubray: A disappointing bat; a very fine field , but anuncertain catch, in whichrespect h ehas fallen off fromlast year; a useful bowler. Alexander M .Paterson : Most disappointing as abat : a very fine field at point , covering a lot of ground, and being a most certain catch ; ontwo or three occasions has fielded brilliantly ; has been knownto bowl. Piercy H. Morrison : A vigorous bat, with considerable hitting powers, but too apt to overdo it ; a fair field ; would be good if he could pick the ball up cleaner ; a moderately useful fast bowler, without muchcommandof pitch . *Archibald E. Orr: A poor bat, lacking both life and defence , though he improved in vigour towards the end of the season ; a useful wicket -keeper , though too slow to be good ; a very good field , and certain catch at short slip . FrankE. Woodhead: Morethan fulfilled the promise of last year, being one of the best bats Loretto ever had ; a strong defence, and great scoring powers,hitting clean and hard, and nearly always along the ground; fine and sure field , with a good return , but a little slow; a fast round-hand bowler , but erratic , and soon tired . Maxwell Rose : Only recovered his last year's form as a bowler towards the end of the season , when hebowled on two or three occasions with great effect , using considerable judg- ment and head in his bowling ; a very poor field , and can't take a throw in to his wicket ; improved in batting since last year. Patrick E. Smith : Hasbowled very steadily and well all the season , and successfully whenthe wicket has been slow, but he lacks judgment, and never changes his pace; greatly improved in his fielding ; avery poor bat . P. Campbell Cochran : A fair defensive bat, but too cramped in style ever to be good, and a poor judge of a run; a good field in the far country , picks up clean , and returns well , and is a sure catch, but too slowonhis legs to be first -rate . Robert C. B r o w n: T h ebest field in the X I.: a very poor bat, being almost entirely without defence ; a fair change bowler, medium-paced, but loses heart too easily . *Paul R. Clauss : A nexcellent field , being more active and covering more ground than anym a n in the XI., and picking up and returning well-with larger hands would be really good ; a very poor bat .
