Tom Esterbrook was at his old place at first base. It won't do for anybody to say the “Dude” is not playing ball for all he is worth. He catches the ball in that pretty grand-stand way yet, and he set the crowd into fits of laughter by these catches. Especially was this so when Denny threw the ball over in a half circle. Tom held his hands in front of him, and when the ball struck it was like the opening and closing of a clam; his hands fly open and close on the ball with a wrist movement.
