About Fifty of the ''Old Boys" Com
ing-OutloOk Bright for
Winning Ball Team.
(Albert E. Dauphinee.)

l III,
who halls from Hampton, Va, will
be one of the first-string men ON the
b. U. Ellsworth baseball team this
summer. Buster" has played var
sity football for three seasons, and
earned an enviable reputation. He
also has the same reputation in
baseball, where he has put in three
years. He is capable all-around
player, behind the bat, in, the box,
covering third or picking them out
OF the air in the outfield. He is also
a consistent batter, not easily fooled.
His coming to Ellsworth this year is
hailed with joy by Manager Horri-
gan In spite of his many conquests,
this lad has the usual southern mod
esty, and is liked by his team mates
and his following of fans and boost
ers. Besides holding the position of
assistant to the director, Prof. Bel
latty, taking the regular courses and
playing baseball, Buster" will wait
on table at the mess-hall OF course
1t is not fear of lonesomeness or
inconsistencies which spurs him on
to all this endeavor, but just an
earnest attempt to finance himself
through his studies. This kind of
chap deserves success, and will no
doubt get it.
According to Lefty" Burke, one
| or last summers Boston men, the
b. U. Ellsworth baseball team will
| be much better than that of last
year. In the lineup are many of
the varsity players. The team for
this year includes Buster William
son, Babe Latour, now on the
varsity, who was at Ellsworth last
year, and will be out for first, where
he will meet strong competition in
Whitley Ruane, also of the varsity
team. In the box for the position
of first string pitcher will be Lefty"
Burke, and Link" Adams. Last
years second-string catcher will be
! here again this year. Eddie German
will cover second, and Tied" Giles
pie, a former Boston College star,
will be on the third sack. Jimmie"
Fallon will probably take care of the
hot ones coming through short, and
help to cover second. In the out
field will be three good men
Spike" Carlson, Jake Klain and
Bob Summers. From the looks of
this lineup and possibilities of
few more good men not yet discov-
cred, there is no doubt that the team
will make a fine showing this sea-
| son.
Those who have been following the
baseball team will be glad to know
that Frank Horrigan, who has so
capably managed it in the past, will
again assume these duties. After
three years at the B. U. college of
business administration, Frank is
now a practicing accountant, and
comes to Ellsworth this year as an
instructor in this subject.
Just as soon as examinations are
over at G. B. A., Prof. Charles E.
Bellatty will visit Ellsworth to COM
plete arrangements for the coming
summer session. He will probably
be in Ellsworth for several days,
leaving on June 1, with his wife, for
Atlantic City, to attend the conven-
ton of the Associated Advertising
| Clubs of the World, and also the con-
vention of the National Association
of Teachers of Advertising. After
the convention, they will return to
| Ellsworth
tits an i'll wind that blows no
| one any good" In the case of the
flood at Ellsworth, if it did no other
good, it did bring this town to the
attention of more of the students at
the college of business administra-
ton at Boston university than would
/ otherwise have been the case. Since
the early stages of the flood, pictures
OF Ellsworth have adorned the bulle-
| tin board outside Prof. Bellatty's
| office, and there has been a contin-
ual crowd of interested students
watching these pictures and noting
| the changing conditions as more
pictures were added When the
professor returned from his recent
trip to Ellsworth, he Immediately
posted over dozen postcards and
; other pictures showing the state of
affairs at the home of the B. U. Ellis
| worth summer school. Prof. Bellat-
| ty says that the enrolment has in
! creased since posting these pictures.
Instead of coming to Ellsworth at
the beginning of the summer session
to act as secretary to Director Chas.
E. Bellatty, Miss Esther Williams,
who has accompanied the students
each year, will leave June 8 for an
extensive tour of the West
g.. II
Up to last Friday, the total en-
rollment numbered ninety-one, and
it was expected that at least five
more would sign up before the term
started. OF this ninety-one, fifty are
old-timers who have spent at least
one summer at Ellsworth. This list
includes: Joseph P. Bags, Ernest
E. Burke, Louis A. Burke, Charles
e. Bickford, Martin Cohen, James
N. Connolly, Arthur T. Connolly,
Daniel J. Coughlin, James e. Fallon,
