GEORGE Z. PIKE.
Foot Bali Coach Of Montpelier Seminary
This Fall.

No one has ever tried to deny that
every result has its cause or causes, ann
there is hardly more room for denial
that George Il. Pike was one of the i'm.
mediate causes of Montpelier seminarys
successes in foot ball this year. Begin
ming at the opening Of the fall semester
with q squad of awkward but plucSy
men, he coached and trained them into
the front row along with the best prep,
school teams the state could muster.
The first results of this training were
| shown when, with less than fortnight s
| practice NJ S. went over to st. Johns
bury and scored eleven points on their
strong academy team without once hay-
ing their own goal in danger. Not con-
tented with this the seminary went over
TO Lyndonyille the next day and score
twelve points on that team; while the
latter had to content themselves with a
single touchdown.
The next important game was with ST.
Adams high school. This time the boys
from the capital city tried not only to
win. but tried to win big, and were sue
cessful to the extent of putting twenty
eight white wash strokes" upon their
opponents,
Soon after this game, came the one
against Montpelier high school, This
game had been unwittingly arranged 50
that it followed very close upon the heels
of the one that the seminary played
against Norwich; consequently The NJ. S,
had several good men down and out"
when the day of the game arrived. How.
ever, the general sentiment Of take a
trimming Of 100 to rather than squeal'
impelled them to enter the game and
take their only defeat of the season,
being game losers by single touchdown
and goal
After this defeat, the Sem. took
brace" and closed the season by defeating
YerRnnes high and st. Johnsbury acad
envy with the respective scores of TWEEN
ty-eight TO nothing and six to two, max
ing the season score Of NJ. s. So, oppon-
ents Is.
Mr.. Pixies individual record opens
upon him as an eighty-six pound quarter

BASE BALL NOTES.
Cobb Again Leads American League in
Batting.

Tyrus Cobb, the Detroit right fielder,
is again the champion batsman Of the
American league. The official batting
averages show that although in percent
age Criss, the st. Louis pinch hitter,
holds first place, the real honor belongs
to Cobb. Criss did not play in half as
many games as did the Tiger gardener
and only made % hits, as compared with
Cobb's 1873. In the percentage column,
however, Crisis Is credited with .34l
while Cobb has .324 The same applies
to Delehanty of Washington, who holds
third place in point of counts, and Craw.
ford of Detroit. In this case, as in the
first and second positions, the Washing
ton player, while having played in only
a little over half the number Of games,
earned an average Of .3l7, while Craw-
ford's totals Bill Thus it win be seen
that in reality both first and second
places can rightly be claimed by De-
troit.
A glance further down the list shows
that in batting at any rate the Tigers
deserved to win the johnson flag After
Crawford comes Gessier of Boston with
.30s, then Thomas, the former Yankee
catcher, who backed up for Jennings this
season in forty games, with 1907. Next

contests. Hemphill had the distinction
Of leading the Highlanders with the
