T—A PERCY HAUGHTON GHANGES HIS MIND Year in Base Ball Convinces| Percy that Public is Com- | posed of Desirables: ! WILL NUMBER HIS PLAYERSi New York, Sept. 23.~There is ome possibility now that the players n the intercollegiate foot ball games will be numbered this year. Percy 1 Harvard has at last to the conclusion that it might not be such a bad idea after all. This of heart has come to Haugh- - a year's' experience as 4 ional base ball manager. Ex- nce with the major « American | Jastime scems to have been in the ature liberal education. Beforc he accepted the presidency of the| Boston National League Base Batl -lub Haughton was of the opinion hat it-was not necessary to number (oot ball players for the convenience )i the public. As far as foot Imll| was concerned the public was com- sed of a lot of stepchildren with muckeristic tendencies. But in the brief space of one base hall season Haughton has developed | « toleration for the public which is ast ripening into a genuine affection. Haughton discovered that the public is a body composed of highly desira- sle persons, each with a six-bit piece cady for the nearest box office. Per- sons who smilingly part with num- )ers of six-bit pieces cannot be who!- ly bad, Haughton has conciuded. In fact, he is willing to admit that they may possess certain homely virtues. The main objection to the number- ing of players was that it might make casy the work of scouts sent by op- posing teams to watch the prelimi- nary games, With the players num- bered it was easier for the scouts to iollow certain plays which were in- tended to be made hard to under- stand. Of course, there is no law against the practice of scouting for foot ball teams, but to the outsider, who is given to understand that some mighty high ideals of sportsmanship rule in college foot ball games, the practice seems a bit unethical. To use the mildest term, it seems to savor of| “snooping.” Of course, professionai| base ball teams employ scouts, and ton of han But the main idea in professional base ball is to win and to keep the box office force busy. This objection to numbering the! players for the convenience of the| public is the least reasonable. If scouting is strictly ethical and neces- sary, there can be no reason for at- tempting to make the work of the foot ball scouts more difficult, If the practice is not ethical or desirable, it| ought to be abolished and those who employ it should be put in the mucker class.

'Long Name Defies Tongue, Memory'and Is Much Too Heavy How'd you like to lug the name “Kulakofsky” around with you? Barney and Herman Kulakofsky find the task burdensome and have appealed to the district court, asking that their name be shortened to “Kully.” 3 The boys complain that their friends are unable to pronounce the name, much less remember it, and that the cognomen is cumbersome and a handicap. The father, Israel, has been a resident of Douglas county for twenty-five years. Promises to Keep Coin For Friend; Starts West Mary Stevens, alias Mary Davis, 2014 South Third street, persuaded C. B. Harris to give her $540 for safe keeping. Mary was keeping it safe by proceeding to ramble over the western horizon, when she was over- taken by the fleet-footed law and forced to return to Omaha as far as Eleventh and Dodge streets. Here she worked the combination and de- livered Harris his cash. He didn’t have the heart to prosecute, so she was allowed to depart uncensured.

Miss Miller spent several years of childhood as a student in the gov- ernment high school at Rheims, known as the Lycee de Rheims pour les Jeune Filles, the Rheims high school for young girls. With her sister, Miss Bernice Mil- ler, instructor in French and swim- ming last year at Bellevue, and her brother. Melville, now a senior at the University of lowa, Miss Miller at- tended school in Germany for a year and then, as a girl of 13, went to high school in Rheims. Th hool build ing was only two blocks from the great cathedral and the home of the Mlxllgrs was three blocks distant. ‘Yes, we used to play in the cathe- dral yard,” said Miss Miller, and often the three of us have romped beneat! the Arc de Triomphe, erected by An gustus Caesar. We have gone for walks down the street named after Joan of Arc, the Rue de Jeanne d'Arc, where the French heroine’s name is on the lips of every child. North of Rh@nns my father often hrought us children to watch French infantry (In]lmg, and we made numerous expe- ditions along the Marne, south of Rheims, never dreaming that the meadows where we gathered ilowers would some day be the scene of the battle that saved France. Many of the villages where we have stopped for a noonday lunch were retaken again and again on that September day two years ago. “When I read a week ago of the celebration in France of the anniver- sary of the great battle, there was nothing I wanted so much as to be back on the banks of the Marne once more galherinq wild flowers. Miss Miller's first experience in swimming was gathered in Rheims. “Accompanicd by an old neighbor, | my sism: and I used to go down to the mumq“al beach on the Velse river, which flows through Rheims. I do not remember ever having learned to swim. It seem. as if we always knew how.” Miss Miller gives the young wom- en daily lessons in swimming, and Vsays that under the Corsan method, | which she studied at Battle Creek, | Mich., a girl can learn to swim in| | two weeks | | “First the girls are taught to breathe in the water and not to fear! getting their faces wet. Then 1 teach them to float on their faces, the ‘dead man's float.” Next, I give them les- sons in diving, and so, almost before a girl knows 1t, she can swim.” | Toils for Auto Comp_a—t;y.
