HAUGHT0N AGREES
 TO COACH HARVARD
 BASEBALL PLAYERS

Cambridge, Mass, May 1S-The day announced that it would make no selection of a professional coach for the college nine for the balance of the season, and that it has secured the services of Percy D. Haughton, go, for the next six weeks. MT. Haughton who is the. football coach, played Varsity baseball four years and was the captain of Cambridge in 189O-
 He will receive no compensation from the Athletic committee for his baseball work and only yesterday was able to adjust his personal business affairs so that he could help out the baseball situation here. The new coach is believed to be the only man available who can keep things run ming smoothly, as the players and the college in general have been very much upset over the resignation of Dr. Sexton.
 MT. Haughton probably will do lit tie actual coaching. but will direct things on the field and in harmony with the baseball committees asso- cfate coaches It is said that he very likely will not sit on the bench with the players during the progress of the remaining games, notWlth- standing that in the past the no coach rule has applied only to the Princeton and Yale games.

HARTFORD MAY. : GET TWO STARS
 FROM BROOKFEDS

Hartford, May Manager Jim De1ehanty's Hartford Co1oniale' camp was increased by two arrivals yester- day, Pitcher Fred Trautn1aa and Gil- bert Whitehouse, a hard-httdng out fielder, reporting for duty. Gaudette, an outf1e1der and spare pitcher, are expected in later.
 In Trautman and whitehouse, Del ehanty has two trump cards. White house led the New England league in hitting last year and had one of the finest fielding averages of the circuit. Trautman was a consistent winner for the Woonsockee club.
 Manager De1ehanty also expects Gagnier, 8 shortstop, and Watson, a catcher, from the Brookfeds. Mana ger Maxwell of New Haven is keen for Watson. but Del has assurances that the star backstop will come to the Capitol City. In fact, Del is in need of a good catcher more than anything else. Gagnier is regarded as one of the best prizesAto be let out by the major Federal league.

GIANTS HAVE FALLEN DOWN IN
 BASE STEALING

New York, May 18-SeveraI years ago, the Giants excel1ed both leagues by many miles in stolen bases, and usually had an edge of over 100 steals at the close of the season. Last year the Yankees led both leagues in steal ing bases, though the Giants still hold the supremacy of<the National League in this respect.
 Howevr, this season the Giants are hardly stealing any bases at all. Only one team out of the sixteen in the National and American has stolen less bases than the Giants, according to the averages published at the end of last week. That club is Brooklyn, with IS steals. The Giants and Ath- 1etics each have IT steals.
 The Yankees and Cubs are tied for leadership in stolen bases, with Al. Detroit also is high up, with 39.
