Barring st. Louis, the Washington

In the American League, according to
the official averages just announced by
H. Johnson. The Nationals team
ter.cord for the season was .259.
The individual honors, of course. went
to Ty Cobb, whose mark of .420 was
but two points less than the record
Ttade years ago by Lajoie when a mern-

= Among the Nationals, Schaefer was at
the top with 1884, Cashion was second
with 1924, and Lelivelt came next with
.320. The other Washington players to
round out the season ahead of the triple
century mark were Dixie Walker and
Clyde Milan. Gessler missed his am

Georgetown has earned its rest.

With their accustomed and to-be-ex-
pected hauteur, Harvard's football au-
thorities declined this year to consider
Princeton in the same class with the
Cantabrigians. Princeton wanted a
later date for the football game. but
Harvard couldn't see 1t. Harvard
thought the Tigers much honored by
being allowed to meet the Crimson at
all. Perhaps next season may find the
Princeton game showed on a week later
in order to allow the Crimson to be in
better fettle for the clash. That defeat
Saturday carries a sting with it, you
know.

Mach for Nothing

Arlie Latham got more money
for doing nothing than he drew
in any year in the best period OF
his playing career.
Arlie has held down the job of
clown for McGraw's Giants for
a few seasons. He got $2,436 as
his share Of the losers end Of
the world series purse. Arlie
didn't do a thing all year to earn
the money except bore some peo-
pie. He made a few laugh. Ar
lie is a poor imitation of Hughie
Jennings in his actions on the
coaching lines, and supplies
nothing outside of that which is
original.

Three TOuchdOWnS
Scored by Vigilants

Going through the heavier line of
Troop D. from Fort Myer. the vigilant
eleven succeeded in invading the for
mers territory for three touchdowns.
Goal was not kicked either time.
Ellis, Mckenzie, and Glebel are to be
given credit for the points scored by the
winners, each Of these men having
made spectacular runs with the oval
which resulted in touchdowns. Quar-
terback Oliveri and Luscombe, who
substituted as director Of the plays, did
commendable work.

Ty Cobb Is official leader.

Germany Schaefer has the proud dis
tinction Of leading the Nationals with
the willow for the season of 1910. The
veteran infielder didn't corral many ex-
ira bases. but he slammed out many a
single just when a runner was on sec
ond or third. sending him across the
platter with a needed tally. Such hits
are better than long whacks with no.
body on. Schaefer used to be long
hitter, but last year he changed his
style. Result? Look at the official av-
erages.

Great joy at Princeton.

Theodore Breitenstein. once Cinc!n-
natfs peerless $4,000 beauty, is about
done as a pitcher, and will become an
umpire next season. This famous
southpaw had great success in the old
National League, and when his arm
went back on him he went to New Or
leans. He has played in the Southern
League ever since. generally with the
Peicans. The warm weather down
there seemed to put new life into his
pitching arm, and he bettered his big
league record with the years. How
ever, there is bound to be an end to
everything, and Breitenstein realizes
now that umpiring will be just about
his measure from now on.
