may change hands in the near future.
That Maj. Haughton will not serve
as president of the Braves next sea-
son is considered certain. He proba-

has been rumored that if the present
owners of the club remain they will
place in charge Walter Hapgood, the
secretary of the club.
Maj. Haughton was enthusiastic over
the outlook for base ball next season
He found sentiment strongly in favor
of resumption of the game by the
major leagues among tn edoughboys
son will see a revival of interest in
the national pastime that will bring
the fans f1ocking to ball parks the
country over.
Maj. Haughton, especially, believes
base ball will have a big year in Bos-
ton, and is confident that whether or
not the Braves change hands a deter
mined effort will be made to develop
the club into pennant winning COM
bination. Maj. Haughton doubtless
will assume full charge of foot ball
affairs at Harvard next autumn.
