Has Received a Commission – Lieutenant Charles Waterous, Rugby Star, With Sportsmen’s Battery

Charles Waterous, son of C.H. Waterous, president of the Waterous Engine Works has received a commission in the Toronto and Hamilton Sportsmen’s Battery, and will leave shortly to join that organization. The battery is being backed up by the Hamilton sporting organizations, and it is expected it will be composed of the cream of the athletes of that city and the surrounding district. The artillery in itself always draws a fine class of men, but it is expected that this battery will be one of the most efficient in the country in its personnel.

Lieutenant Charles Waterous is one of the best known athletes in the country. He was the star of the McGill University (Montreal) rugby fourteen, at a time when they won the intercollegiate rugby honours, and were picked as Dominion championship winners though the game was not played off, owing to the need for the men to resume their college studies. He is of a splendid build, and will be decided acquisition to the battery.
