Our baseball troubles res. lightly
on most of US so there IS no spec

that score. The inactivity of the
civic improvement league also
worries the Booster. There's a
Reason" At considerable ex-
pense of time and trouble the
league formulated a scheme of
improvement which seemed to
meet the approval of the public
and our town dads were "de-
lighted" toreceive its suggestions,
but proceeded to ignore them.
The league quit. Why not3 At
ter some prodding in these "Re
marks" the town dads discovered
that they could not build side
walks inside lot lines and collect
pay from the owners. An ordi-
nance was passed widening Grande
avenue, which was the proper
thing. but went beyond the ne.
cessities of the case. The block
between Third and Fourth is not
now and perhaps never will be a
business district. While the added
width of street is worth more to a
lot owner than the ten feet taken
in a business district, widening is
a distinct disadvantage in resi-
dence district. In that block the
owners are asked to donate ten
feet of lot front and in doing it
sacrifice. shade trees of many
years growth. without any advan.
tage whatever, but the contrary.
There is no reason in asking it
and property owner is justified
in resisting as far as he can do so
legally.
The commercial association is
touched up somewhat. In that
case also there's a reason" The
association is useful in fostering
fraternal feeling between town
and country. it performs valu-
able service in managing the
labor question during fruit harvest
and it shows its usefulness in
many ways. AS town booster it
is inefficient for several reasons.
1t is composed largely of farmers
who have more immediate con-
Germs than town affairs. The as.
sociation is too large and miscel-
laneous in membership to be eff
fective as town boosters. There
should be body composed of
town men to boost town interests.
But here is where we fail. The
"besetting sin" of the town bobs
up when anything of the kind is
attempted. When persons are to
be chosen tor any purpose what
ever, either to run the town busi-
ness or to represent the public in
any capacity. we resolve ourselves
into a mutual admiration society
and proceed to name some
of our good fellows" We
haven't learned that a man may
be very good fellow and still
lack practically everything nec-
essary to render him valuable in
such a position. The fact that a
man is a Democrat, Republican,
Methodists, Baptist. or what not,
is not a reason for selecting him
for a position where capacity,
energy and persistence are re-
quired. Most of those chosen do
not want to serve and have no in
tention of serving, but we select

MAN WHO HELPS HIS BROTHER
His "Boys" Call Him the General Ad-
wiser Wittou Pay"-He Is
Partial to None.

When a man loves to live he usual
ly can go among men who care little
whether they live or not and do good.
Such a man is Augustus E. Vaughan,
immaculate of dress and of heart ven
cradle in years and usefulness. whom
one may see almost any day either on
Boston Common or at the Young
Mems Christian Union.
His specially is helping his fallen
and discouraged brother, whether he
be a cigarette smoking boy or rum
sodden and disheartened derelict of
man. His creed is cheerfulness and
his passion is books.
Often one may see him, tall and
straight. faultlessly attired in a frock
coat with his flowing white beard and
his long and carefully trimmed white
locks, standing with or sitting beside
some ragged and unkempt victim of
circumstances who has sought the only
place where the police will not tell
him to move on. the Common. and
then one is sure to be struck by the
contrast. Many a man he has met
there has later become as clean of
body and heart as himself. and all
through his infectious good nature and
brotherly comraderie.
Among the younger men with whom
this old young man of 20 increasingly
labors he is known as the general
adviser without pay" and he is as in
terested in their ambitions as they
can be. and so youthful is he in their
presence that he is always one Of
them
Mr.. Vaughan is not engaged in ac-
tive business this summer, but he
comes to Boston every day, rain or
shine, to talk with his boys" as he
calls them. Some of these have never
before known a real friend. He is
highly educated. and counts among his
friends many college presidents and
professors.
He was born in Middleboro, nearly
seventy-five years ago. and traces his
lineage back to Peregrine White Of
Mayflower fame.

To PLAY RUGBY
Unanimously Adopt English Game
for Coming Season ACtiW-
ties in Southland
ENGAGE TWO CRACK COACHES
Pat Higgins Is Selected as Head
Coach, with Lewis as
First Assistant
.NGAGE TWO CRACK COACHES

AT meeting of the athletic cons
mittee of the u. $. c. law school It
was unanimously decided to play rugby
during the coming football season.
This action by the committee is not
a surprise to the followers of football
in the south, as ii has been rumored
for quite a while that such action
would be taken. 1t was not the re-
suit of any friction with the other coll
leges of the south, but came after due
consideration of the different phases of
the football situation. Tho barristers
have always had hand i'm determin-
ing the football supremacy of the
south, and il Is confidently predicted
that they will attain as great a sue
cess at the English game.
The school is fortunate in securing
for coaches two of the greatest rugby
players in America, Thomas Pat"
Higgins and Ernest Lewis, who have
played side by side in many a struggle
and are past masters in the science of
the game. Higgins. who is an alum

probably will take a postgraduate
course in the school, He stands Sec

of the entire school in his efforts to
turn out winning team.
Lewis will act as assistant coach.
Too much cannot be said of him as a
player and as a coach. He has been
q headliner for number of years, hay-
ing been one of the stars of England
before coming to this country. and
judging from his great work in the
games with the northern universities
last fall, will prove of invaluable ass
sstance in producing pennant squad.
Lewis will enter the law school this
fall as a freshman, and so will have
a double interest in the success of the
team.
Taken all in all, the prospects of the
law school for a winning team are de-
cdedly bright. With two such men to
coach and with a fine bunch of fell
lows to pick from, the lawyers will
give the northern teams a run for
their money and promise to become
the best on the coast in another year.

CHICAGO GOLFERS OUT
WITH SWEEPING Def
Quartet of Champions and For
mer Champions Want to Play
for the Championship

CHICAGO, July 13.-Chicago's cham
pion and former champion golfers have
issued an informal challenge to any

bers are National Champion Robert a.
Gardner of Hinsdale, Western Cham
pion Charles Evans, jr., of Edgewater,
Intercollegiate Champion Albert Seckel

that a siX-man team be placed in the
field, and in this event Warren X.
Wood of Homewood and Paul Hunter
of Midlothian might be the other two
to round out the squad, according to
opinions of local experts.

last night expressed a desire to meet
any team in competition for the cham
pionship of the United States or any
other title which might be put up for
it, and all are confident they can hold

pire McGreevy about a strike called on

After that, Brownie settled Gown to his
knitting and quit his pestiferous tao
tics. McGreeVy dislikes to fine the
boys, but he is running the game, and
unless he disciplined them once in a
while they would be running it to suit
themselves. An umpire who does not
stick resolutely on the job will be a
failure, and if McGreevy ever fails at
the task it will be for some other rea-
son.
Hamlet oliver, the official scorer at
local Coast league games, has gone for
fortnight's vacation and the press
boys were up in the air yesterday
when he failed to show up and make
out the official score sheets. Harry
Williams, something of an expert at
the scoring game, relieved the emer-
gency Dy making up the sheets.
It is improbable that there will be
any boxing matches at Maud Junction
this month, as McCarey prefers to pass
up July on account of the warm wealth
er and the fact that so many of the
fans are away on their vacations at the
beach and mountain resorts. When the
sport opens up in August, it is probable
that Sammy Keller and Danny Web
ster will furnish the opening attraction
at ten rounds. Both are bantams and
will meet at the bantam limit If the
match is made. They are very fast and
clever and should furnish the fans with
a good bout. Patsy Brannigan is fig
uring on coming out here about that
time in the hope of getting a match
with frankie Conley for the bantam
championship, so it looks like the Au-
gust offerings might furnish some real
class.
Lou Woodworth, one of the boys
about town, has opened billiard parlors
at 43O South Hill street and his friends
are following him with Unexpectedly
good patronage. He is good chap
and deserves success in anything he
undertakes and undoubtedly the open
ing success that is his will become a
permanent and pleasing feature of the
business.
