THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
Continued from page -

Havey is a West Sullivan boy and
prepared for college at Kent's Hill.
He is a most popular leader, though
always strict in discipline. His young
er brother is the star pitcher on the
Hebron academy team, which has the
first place among the Maine prepara-
tory schools.
IL one man, above another, on the
nine is to be given credit for the VIM
ming of the cham pionship. all BoWdOin
men will agree that the honor belongs to
"Jimmie"t Cox, whose pitching has been
such prominent factor in the games of
the season. He has pitched all the
Maine college games since the first
game with Colby, and his distinction as
the best college pitcher in Maine is
settled beyond dispute. He is left
handed, has terrific speed. and sharp
curves and his GOODNESS and headWOrk
are leading factors in his success. He
is never known to get ratified, and new
er seems to do his best work until
things are getting to a critical point.
When he gets down to business, and
let's himself out, he has not failed in
any game, to have the opposing batters
such a man in the box, on steadying
tn" team, and giving it confidence. is
not to he OvereStimated At the bat he
leads the team, most unusual thing
for pitcher. His home run, in n re-
cent game, was the only one made on
Whittier field in two years. Cox is a
Houlton boy, and is Il member of the
Junior class
BY the graduation of '03 the nine will
lose several of it's best men. Captain
Havey has already been mentioned.
Blanchard, the plucky little catcher
whose work in holding Cox has been
one of the features of the season. is a
member of the graduating class. His
home is in Maynard, Mass, and he
made the team in his Junior year, but
has shown wonderful Improvement,
this year. Coffin at third base, also
graduates. phil Coffin has been one
of the most popular fellows and best
all round athletes at BoWdoin in years
and has won honors in football as we'll
as in baseball. and is one of the lead
ing scholars of the class. He has
pitched in earlier years and was in
the box in the Ivy day game, last
y
was needed on third, this year, and
quickly showed himself a star in the
position. He is a Brunswick boy
Munro in center field is another to
graduate, and the team loses a sure
fielder and good batter. He played at
first base, last year. Munro is
Gardiner boy and was captain of last
falls football eleven. bly, at second
base is the fifth man on the nine who
completes his course, this year. He
has done brilliant work in his position,
and had the record of seven successive
games without an error, not an easy
thing to do at second. He is one of
the best men at the bat. His home is
in Bradford Mass.
The graduation of these men will
leave Cox, pitcher, Don" White, the
star short stop. Clark, who is without
Il superior in left field and who is one
of the heaviest hittcrs. and also john
son. who has played in the field, ANA
Hodgdon and Could who have played
in the in-field in several games. Cakes,
the pitcher. whom illness has kept out
of the game Il large part of the time
Ibis season. also has another year in
college. With these men as nucleus.
and with a good second nine to draw
from, not to mention the good material
which it is known will enter the col
leee in the fall, BowdOin already looks
forward to another successful season
in 1904.
