Text	One of the most curious features of the Hartfords' play is the way Ferguson has of shifting his men from one position to another for the accommodation, or rather inconvenience, of the different opposing batsmen. When Devlin comes to the bat York is motioned to play a deep left field, Holdsworth edges around toward left, Harbridge takes a stand in the center fielders' dominions, right field is left to itself for the time being. Devlin hits a mighty like, and it is ten to one that York nips him on the fly. Many year's active service on the ball-field has given Ferguson an excellent opportunity for studying batsmen, and he has not failed to profit by it. No nine in the country last season excelled the Hartfords in fielding, and Ferguson was at the bottom of it all., quoting the Louisville Courier-Journal
