ORE than 100000 Is being paid

OF the official announcement OF
the batting average Of Larry Doyle. 1t
Is n matter that has been held up and
in constant dispute since the closing
of the National League season, the
unofficial statisticians being unable
to agree. The race between Larry
and Luderus OF the phillies was 80
close that those who had money up
refused TO pay until tho official tig-
ures we're given out by Secretary
John Hcydler.
According TO this official announce

into the record book, Larry Doyle

National League, with an average or
800. Luderus liz second with an aver
age of .315. This proved 20 be big

in advance by the master director II
~ said that Haul hton maps out every
little detail long before a game with
his Captain and quarterback. The
forthcoming battle Is like a game OF
chess with Haughton. Every move
muSt be studied and the Captain and
quarter know what TO do in case Of
need. Should anything unforeseen de-

rush In substitutes with instructions
from the side lines. These orders may

they reach their destination just the

Yale hnsn't been the only big

In 1911 Harvard and Princeton re-

q touchdown and safety. No other
football coach ever equaied this
record.

Percy Haughton was . fine kicker

The hrst result Of Harvard's efficient
methods came early In the football
season. About 500 students presented
themselves for practice at a time when
many other colleges are Just beginning
TO prepare for the campaign. These
boys are divided IN groups, each one
with It's own coach. In this way every
candidate Is examined No one is
