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. '

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

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."

Miss Arlie Redington of the Tray

at her old home in Shclton. Neb.,
during the last week. Miss Redington
is devoting most of her time, says
Lou Traynor, to galloping to and
