A steady third baseman but an average runner, Lauder had his best year with the 1899 Phillies, when he had career highs of 90 RBI and 74 runs while hitting .268. (DAS)

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY » September 13, 1902: The Superbas top the Giants' Christy Mathewson, 7-2, with the help of five New York errors, three by 3B Bill Lauder. » October 2, 1902: In the Giants game at Boston, there is one stolen base but eight runners are caught trying to steal (as noted by Cliff Blau). In addition, three runners are picked off base (although one manages to advance thanks to an error) and two more are thrown out at the plate. Ed Gremminger scores the winning run in the 14th inning, beating the throw from the Giants' third baseman, Billy Lauder, who had fielded Pat Moran's grounder. Roger Bresnahan is ejected from the game for arguing after he was caught trying to steal third with two outs. With all these lost runners, and with the help of three double plays, Luther Taylor nearly gets away with yielding nine walks.
