with a hit to right field for Houston. In the spring of 1883, a newspaper account noted his contributions to the 1882 team: "Carfrey played behind the bat with scarcely an error to his credit and succeeded in putting a number of men out." He played at third base and catcher for the Houston team in 1883. In September 1883, he scored three runs and "received a terrible blow in the eye"—one of several incidents that a newspaper report characterized as "little incivilities" that "were constantly exchanged" during the game. In 1884, he played at second and third base and at shortstop for the newly formed Haymaker base ball club from Chester, Pennsylvania. During the 1888 season, Carfrey appeared in 28 games as a third baseman for Houston in the Philadelphia Region League. Schuylkill Navy In 1891 and 1892, he played for Philadelphia's Athletic Club of Schuylkill Navy (A.C.S.N.) baseball team as a third baseman. After a September 1891 game at Bristol, Pennsylvania, the crowd rushed onto the field and attacked the A.C.S.N. team. Carfrey attempted to play the role of a peace-maker amid a scene described as "a pushing, swearing, fighting mob" which would have injured the Philadelphia men had the Bristol players and police not come to their assistance. As the team left the field, "a howling crowd of young boys" threw stones, "smooth and jagged," at the Navy's bus. In December 1891, he played in an exhibition of indoor baseball at the Philadelphia Industrial Hall. The game was played with a hair-filled ball measuring 19 inches in diameter and with bats reportedly resembling cut-off broomsticks. Carfrey played third base for A.C.S.N. team in the indoor exhibition. The Sporting Life reported on the game as follows: "The game was to the players themselves, perhaps, very amusing, but it would take a crank of the deepest dye to see anything laudable in the game. In simple words, it is a travesty on the noblest of games and cannot be considered in any other light than a catch-penny affair." 1895 to 1899 seasons In 1894, Carfrey appeared in 14 games for the Philadelphia Colts of the Pennsylvania State League. He compiled a .200 batting average in 55 at-bats for the Colts. In 1895, Carfrey played for two minor league teams. He appeared in 49 games for the Hazleton Quay-kers in the Pennsylvania State League, compiling a .263 batting average in
