The pathfInders and Their Hike

The "Pathfnders" of Johnson High
school are attracting no little atten-
ton with their hike anG-sther strange
athletic meet which is to run off at
Lake Sterling, Saturday, October End
The daily and County papers all over
the state have been taking up the
matter, and the consensus of opinion
seems to be that Johnson has solved
the problem OF fall athletics for the
small country High schools of Yer
mont. "Why not make the very best
use of the natural advantages that
God has given us? Why have foot
ball in the fall, sport that is. not
adapted to the small High school and
is expensive, when we have the noun
tains? We have few mountain sports
simply because we have never Great
ed them, or established traditions
around them. And We try to build
gymnasiums for winter basket ball
the most pernicious game of all, when
we have a perfect Norway for the
sports that were made for winter.
Compare snowshoe racing, ski jump
ing and ice hockey with basket ball
and the indoor track meet, and the
comparison is anything but favorable
to the latter The larger schools
have not these advantages and wish
they had them. We have them and
have just made our first start toward
making the best use of them.
The "Pathfinders' became this
week regular branch OF the Green
Mountain Club, at the special invita-
tion of President Taylor Of that or
ganization. They are the first school
organization in the state to take this
step. Moreover Mr. Taylor with DR..
Louis J. Paris and some other Bur-
lington men, is to act an official at
tho meet.
The itinerary is as follows. The
| boys accompanied by Warren Annis
| and Principal Davis. will camp on
Thursday night a: the Lake. Friday
will be spent in making permanent
camp at that place, improving trails
and in making repairs generally. On
| Saturday the forest meet with
stowe High school will be held, and
it is hoped that the Stowe people will
J remain in camp over Sunday. De

ALEXANDER THE GREAT
PhlIies Bought Him Five Years Ago
for $3.50 from Syracuse

Grover Cleveland Alexander was
born in st. Paul, Neb., February 20,
1887, of democratic family, both
politically and otherwise. His par
ents were settlers" in Nebraska dur
ing the Indian times, and ALEX" was
nowhere. His early existence was
one Of hardship, be being of a race
which could not shirk work of the
hardest kind. Probably his wonderful
physique was built up by his boyhood
work, but at any rate when Alex
first thought of baseball it was as a
means of having vacation and of
providing living.
In 1909 he heard of chance to
pitch for a professional club in Gales
burg, H., and being offered enough
to pay his expenses and have lit
tie over he accepted. This provided
his start in the national pastime, be-
gan the career Of the man who is
now ranked the premier pitcher of
the country, and the reason pro and
con for the success of the Phillies.
He was drafted from Galesburg by In
dianapolis in the autumn of 1909, but
unfortunately for his club he was not
even tried out, being shipped to SYRIA
cuse in the New York state league,
which team sold him, Alexander, the
greatest pitcher to the Phillies in
1910 for $3.50. Somebody in Syracuse
has been kicking himself ever since,
for the first year with the Phillies
Alexander won 20 games, and since
then has been considered by far the
most valuable man in the club. His
wonderful success this year, of
course, is known by all, The Phillies
chances in the coming series undoubt
edly rest with Alexander, and there
are few men who seem more fitted
for the job.
