IS STRONG FOR DISCIPLINE

Percy Haughton, New Owner of Braves, Always an Advocate of Obedience to Training Rules. Discipline is likely to be the watchword of the Boston National league baseball club under the direction of the new president, Percy P. Houghton, during the coming season. Haughton, as a Harvard baseball and football player, and later coach of the eleven, has always been a strong advocate of strict obedience to training rules, instructions and the playing code of whatever game he was interested in. While it is not to be expected that Haughton will insist that the players of the Bostoh Braves, will be held to the same degree of accountability that prevails in college football circles, it is certain that the new president of the club will insist upon an observance of all the rules recently laid down by former President Gaffney in his letter to the players, and may even

go further. With Haughton as president and George Stallings as manager, it would appear as though the players of the Boston club will have to make baseball playing strictly a business proposition in 1916, or learn that a new regime prevails in the game.
