THK OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: SEPTEMBER 24, 1916 7 A ERCY HAUCHTON CHANGES HIS MIND Year in Base Ball Convinces Percy that Public is Com posed of Desirables - WILL NUMBER HIS PLAYERS New ' York, Sept. 23.i-There is some possibility now that the players in the intercollegiate foot ball games will be numbered this year. Percy Haughton of Harvard has at last ome to the conclusion that it mighi not be such a bad idea after all. This vhange of heart has come to Haugh ton after a 'year's experience as i professional base ball manager. Ex perience with the major American pastime seems to have been in the nature of a liberal education. Bcfort he accepted the presidency of the Boston National League Base Ba i club Haughton was of the opinion , (hat ft was not necessary to number toot ball players for the convenience of the public. As far as foot lull was concerned the public was com posed of a lot of stepchildren witn muck-eristic tendencies. But in the brief space of one base ball season Haughton has developed a toleration for the public which is Tast ripening into a genuine affection. Haughton discovered that the public is a body composed of highly desira ble persons, each with a six-bit piece ready for the nearest box office. Per sons who smilingly part with num bers of six-bit pieces cannot be whol ly bad, Haughton has concluded. 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 easy 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 follow 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, professional base ball teams employ scouts, and ce in a while they grab the other fellows' signals. 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. PRESIDENT WILSON HERE 0N0CT0BER 5 Accepts Invitation to Speak in Omaha, on the Date of the - Historical Parade. WILL REVIEW THE PARADE Siibsea Warfare Is Portrayed on " ; King's Highway .Timely topics are good subjects for astute showmen to study. Probably that is why "Over and Under Sea," a very timely topic, will be presented, in wonderful working order, during the engagement of the C. A. Worthhaiu shows, which is to provide amuse ment attractions for the Ak-Sar-Ben festival, starting Tuesday. "Over and Under the Sea" is a vivid portrayal of the dangers of the deep sea during the present European struggle. In a large tank ot water there is a replica of a .large merchantman ship, intent on its Naay across the ocean. Suddenly, through the placid little sea there ap pears the periscope of a subsca mon ster. Instantly there is a flash, as a shot cuts across the course of the big ship. Other shots follow and soon the magnificient ship lurches, and gradually, as water rushes through the holes made by the destroyer, sinks, while invisible fingers flash to the world "S. O. S." Without warning, from the distance, comes a terrific boom and swish. The call has been answered. The shot hits the periscope of the destroyer. Other shots follow in quick succes sion as a replica of the United States battleshjo Texas, looms into sight It is anotlrer modern achievement of modern times, by modern men exer cising modern brains. President Wilson will be here to review the historical parade in Omaha October 5. Yestedday he accepted Omaha's invi tation to deliver an address In this city on that date. The invitation was issued jointly by the State Historical society, of which John Lee Webster is president;- the general centennial committee, of which Gurdon W. Wat tles is chairman, and the Board of Governors of Ak-Sar-Ben, and the Commercial club, which organiza tions have been pressing for an ac ceptance of the invitation for some time.

Parlors 24th and Harney Bellevue Teacher Used to Play Where Historic Battle Rages The battlefield of the Marne and the yard of the cathedral at Rheims, which has been 'so materially injured by German 'shell fire, was the girl hood playground of Miss Viviatie B. Miller, new instructor in French and swimming foV women at Bellevue coK lege. 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 Rernice Mil ler, instructor in French and swim ming last year at Bellevue, and her brother. Melville, now a senior at the University of Iowa. Miss Miller at tended school in Germany for a year and then, as a girl of 1.1, went to high school in Rheims. The school build ing was only two blocks from the great cathedral and the home of the Millers 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 beneath the Arc de Triomphe, erected by Au 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 Rheims my father often brought u children to watch French infantry drilling, and we made numerous expe ditions along the Marne, south of Rheims, never dreaming that the meadows where we gathered flowers 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 gathering wild flowers. Miss Millers first experience in swimming was gathered in Rheims. "Accompanied by an old neighbor, my sister and I used to go down to the municipal 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 j REPUBLICANS WILL ORGANIZE MONDAY Harry Byrne of National Exec utive Committee Will Line Up Hughes Workers. VTVXKKBl TZtu.et says 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 it, she can swim." Toils for Auto Company, But is Strong for Horse Miss Arlie Redington of the Tray nor Automobile company has been at her old home in Shclton. Neb., during the last week.
