disliked by newspaper men. He
wouldn't talk to them. He treated
them with cold disdain. Now, it is
discovered, he was not himself then.
He was working under rules.
But as soon as Percy got into base
ball he became conversationalist.
Haughton has offices on State
street in Boston. One room is used
by his stenographer The other is
Percy's thinking room. In this room
he has built championship football
teams. In this room he worked out
the plays that beat Yale, Princeton
and everybody else.
A visit to Haughton's thinking
room reveals that he is the cham
pion chair litter of the country. If
there is anyone who can tilt back
in chair and balance himself long
