BASE BALL
Academy and Lyndon Institute Cross
Bats in First Game of the
Season

After lapse of four years a base
, ball team representing st. Johnsbury
Academy appeared on the field again
last Saturday in the initial game of
the season with Lyndon Institute at
Lyndon Center.
After Il show of stage fright and
poor judgment in the first two innings
the Academy team struck its stride
and showed an edge over the Institute
boys, but the lapse in the second in
ming was so costly that they were I'M
able to overcome the Lyndon teams
lead.
In the first inning the Academy
boys whackcd out three singles but
poor work on the bases kept them
from scoring. Bunched hits by the
Institute team gave them run in this
inning and Ling let in three runs in
the next frame by throwing to first
with the bases full and none out.
After this is was nip and tuck with
the Academy team having the edge.
The umpire gave three erroneous
decisions on the bases, each of which
hurt the Academy teams chances and
his work on balls and strikes was also
very ragged.
Cutting banged out triple in the
sixth and Beck double in the ninth
and this same pair turned in flashing
double play in the fifth.
Collins and Lowell shonc in the
field, each capturing difficult liners
that brought applause from the
crowd. Ellis was wild but had a de-
cidcd edge on Gaudcttc.

DEATH OF DARIUS COBB
Venerable Paintcr-Widcly known
in the Field o. Art

Darius Cobb, painter of portrait:
and landscapes, died on April % at
his home in Newton Upper Falls
Mass. He was "a years old. Hale
and hearty at the time Of his last
birthday, August 6, the aged painter
began to fail in the fail, but he
fought against his condition and
continued his art work and his lee
lures. MI. Cobb had been for half
a century OF more one Of the famous
characters in the art life of Boston.
He was as full OF enthusiasm up to
the last as boy of twenty. He H.
sisted that painting and the desire
to paint kept him young.
He was Il twin brother of Cyrus
Cobb, also eminent bot, as painter
and sculptor. Cyrus died in 1903,
and since that time Darius, though
enthusiastic over his work, was rot
so happy as he had been before. For
the two brothers were inscparablc,
and they looked very much alike.
They were early in life impressed by
some paintings Of Washington All
ston and they determined to become
painters and dedicated themselves TO
art. They worked many years maxi
ing a copy of Leonardo de Vinci's
"Last Supper" They also painted
pictures of Christ, of Judas and Pr
late, and portraits of notable men.
Cyrus turned his attention to sculp
ture and among his works is the
Soldiers Monument on Cambridge
Common. The brothers helped each
other on pretty much everything they
did, although most Of the planning
was done by Cyrus. They worked
side by side in the same studio. Both
the brothers served as soldiers in the
Civil War, in the Forty-fourth Mass
achusctts Regiment.
Darius Cobb was born in Maiden,
on August 6, 1894, the son of the
Rev. Sylvanus Cobb, a wcll-known
Universalist clergyman and writer,
and Eunice Hale (Waitc) Cobb. She
was the first president of the Ladies'
Physiological Institute of Boston.
The place where Mr.. Cobb was born
was previously the birthplace of Adj
oniranl Judson, who became widely
known as a great missionary. On
both the patcrnal and maternal sides,
the grandparents of Darius Cobb
were descendants of Elder Cobb, who
came to America on the second voy-
age of the ship Mayfowcr The
father of Darius Cobb, leading the
ologian of his day, was power in
the liberalizing of the Christian pull
pit. When their twin sons were
three years of age, the parents re-
moved to Waltham, and three years
later went to East Boston to make
their home.
From his youth it was Darius
Cobb's ambition to paint Christ
that would be distinctive, and in the |
accomplishment Of this he became
noted. He determined that the eli
max of his career as painter should
be such picture. When he finally |
concluded the work he proclaimed it |
to be the browning achievement of
his life, and on completing it in 1914
at the age of 80 years, he called it
"The Master"
The paintings of Darius Cobb arc
hung in the art galleries of France,
England and America. The nine
great paintings in the Empire ball
room of the Hotel Tuillerics are by
Cobb. One canvas executed by the |
brush of Cobb about ten years ago,
which attracted the most widespread

A VERMONT COUNTRY STORE
(By Daniel L. Cady)

A mental stomping ground for me;
Our village store will always be
The spot from which my fancie
roam
And where they rest when I ge
home;
The hamlet's central point and hub
The only and exclusive club;
The place where handsaws, hats ant
teas
A-hit it off with chalk and cheese;
The reservoir of law and lore
And calico-the village store.
The meeting place of them that knew
Jest what the world was coming to
Through all my youthful years | saw
And heard them doctors spound the
law;
Old Uncle Doctor Zenas Blake,
And Doc Epaphroditus Dake,
Lycurgus Pike and Nailkeg Small,
And Cap'n Philo Dumbitall:
Their names have reached no foreign
shore
But they was famous round the
store.
You can't abuse them folks to me,
They saw as fur as | could see;
Their cows was named, their teams
was matched,
Each fall they had their buildings
patched;
They knew what kind of chimbly fit
The parlor lamp and how twas lit;
Their tax receipts, a certain crop,
Was laid away, the last on top;
The clothes was settled for they
wore
they hung around the store.

But Wilder Wood was 'tothcr way,
