Discipline is likely to be the watch
word of the Boston National League
baseball club under the direction of
the new president Percy D. Haughton
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, in
structions 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 Boston Braves will be held
to the same degree of accountability
that prevails in college football cir
Giles, it is certain that the new presi-
dent of the club will insist upon an
observance of all the rules recently
laid down by former President Calf
ney 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 915, or learn
that a new regime prevails in the
game.

TAX EQUALIZATION
LAW IN FOR FIGHT

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. at seems to
be developing with certainty that a vi
cious fight will be made at the COM
ing session of the Georgia legislature
on the present tax equalization law,
which was framed and placed on the
statute books by former Governor
John M. Slaton and his administration
and which has not only materially in
creased the revenues of the state, but
has in a measure lightened the burden
on the small property-holder, while
putting more just share of it on the
shoulders of the big landowners and
rich landlords.
1t is said here that the attack will
be renewal of the fight of the big
landowner, the man who owns prop
erty in large blocks in the country and
lives in town, to keep the man with
the small farm puying full valuation
on his small land, whilst the reac-
tionary holder of the big tracts be al
lowed to still side out with the Gus
tomary valuation Of SO per acre. which
he paid so long in Georgia.
1t is not believed, however, that the
fight will be successful, as it would
involve not only the tearing down of
the tax equalization law, but would
also work severe harm to the school
reforms, which are based on tax re-
forms, and from which Georgia is
ust beginning to benefit.

GOLF RESTRICTION
TO BE CONSIDERED

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-At the coming
annual meeting of the National golf
and tennis association efforts will be
made to further clarity and strength
en- the rules governing the conduct
and action of players who pose as
amateurs in these sports in keeping
with the new code adopted at the re-
cent conference of the leading sport
governing bodies in this city. While
the rules have been altered from time
to time to meet changing conditions
the impression prevails that the reg
ulations can still be impoved upon.
This is illustrated by an occurrence
last summer which involved a prom
inent tennis authority and a business
man from the middlewest The bust
ness man, who knew nothing of ten
mis-, was on an eastern trip when he
received request from friends prom
! inent in tennis circles at home to Sc
cure the entry of several high class
tournament players for a tourney
about to start.
He called upon the other principal
of the story and after stating his mis-
sion and requesting the latter's as
sistance explained that he was willing
tC give several hundred dollars for
expenses and still larger sum for
tie time and services of the players
named, 1t was pointed out to the bus
mess man that tennis was an amateur
sport and that the players were not
supposed to take money for playing.
The matter ended there but the ten
mis- authority is still wondering wheth-
er his visitor simply took it for grant
ed that it was necessary to offer to
pay for the services of the players de-
sired or was acting under instructions
from the folks back home.

No Order To
Serbia Or
Greece Now

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 3.-An acct
dental but no Less effective aid in the
Keep Money at Home" movement, is
now benefting this section in the fact
that the postoffices will no longer ac-
cept money orders destined either to
Serbia or Greece.
The postoftice's only reason for this
is that it cannot make delivery owing
to war conditions.
The practical result is to keep thou
sands of dollars monthly in Georgia
which would otherwise be sent to the
old country.
In this state and in surrounding
states, there are thousands Of intel
ligent, Woodworking Greeks and ma
tives of the other Balkan states, who
are not only becoming property own
ing citizens, but who at the same time
are sending small money orders home
regularly to relatives or family in the
old country.
For time, at least, they will now
have to keep all their surplus money
here.
