General Sporting Notes.

IL is a peculiar thing TO find est
player hitting more home runs than two
or three 800 or better hitters combined
Take, for instance, Walter Pipp of the
Yankees, who hits with lot OF pep and
sends the balls with trail OF smoke be-
hind them 10 all corners OF the lot, and
still he does not hit with very high
average. During the past campaign, Pipp
hit more home runs than Cobb, Speaker
and jackson combined, yet in the mum.
Der OF doubles, any of the three raped
out good many more than did Pipp.
While Pipp undoubtedly hits the ball
with greater whip than either Ty,
iris or Joe, he has not the hard hitting
powers that the Others have for he
makes a majority OF his home runs over
the short right field fence at the Polo
grounds.
Philip Bower OF Arlington, Mass, a
former Worcester academy star, has been
elected captain of the Middlebury col
lege football team for next year. Bower
has played quarter back for two years
on the Mddlebury team and was picked
for All-Vermont team as quarter and
captain. Kenneth Gorham, rs, at a
meeting of the athletic board was elect.
ed manager for next year and Clarence
Hamilton of Knowlesville, y. Y, assist
ant manager of the football team.
A new man will be seen in the Red
Sox secretary's seat during the next
campaign. He is Larry GRADER, formerly
assistant treasurer of the Cort theatre,
Chicago. GRADER was signed up Saturday
81 20 ,..ssb IN a
short time to take over the duties as
secretary OF the club. Graders new po-
sition comes as a reward for many years
of faithful work in the ticket Office at
the Cort theatre. Mr.. Frazee has al.
ways taken liking TO GRADER. and gave
him the first position which he could
offer him. The new secretary is very
enthusiastic baseball fan and has always
been close friend of Ray Shalk, star
catcher of the Chicago White Sox.
Nine tenths of the baseball fans in
the country would say Ty Cobb or Speak
err If asked as to the best paid player
was, but not on your life. II is none 9TH
er than Nean GREGG, the portsider of the
worlds champion Red Sox, who seldom
pitches a game. Gregg was traded to the
Red Sox in 1914 and in that year he
seemed to lose control of his hook with
which the earns his bread, and did no
pitching that year and in 1915 he man
aged TO serve six entire contests. In 1919
he worked through hve games, thus
pitching II full games in two years. His
salary, which is reported to be $4,000
year and with two cuts of the worlds
series coin. would amount to about Sl1,-
600 for working about 20 hours in the
two seasons or $3.50 for every 60 min.
utes.
Browns new date on the Harvard
schedule, which will be late in October,
is very satisfactory to the Providence
team, as it gives them chance to play
the best which Harvard can produce, and
at the same time, they will have a
chance to recuperste from the hard strug.
gle with the Crimson eleven before the
Yale game During the past campaign,
Brown clashed with the Bull Dog and
Old Harvard, playing both games within
a week of each other, and the strain
proved to be too great. When Brown
met Colgate, the big contest of the year,
She was stale and lost all the pep which
the team possessed during the first part
Of the season. There will be no such
abb for the Brown coaches next fall.
