Of efforts to secure a home for the

3 CINCINNATI, o., May ZO.-GeorSe
B. Cox, the noted politician, died to-
day Of pneumonia. fs,..-.-..,..e
George Barnsdale Cox was one Of
the most widely known professional
politicians in Ohio, baseball magnate,
a banker and part owner Of one of the
largest theatrical syndicates in the
country. Born in Cincinnati, April
29, 1853, he began his career as news
boy, and later became q saloon-keeper
at Dead Mans Corner" as the local
ity at Carlisle and Central avenues.
Cincinnati, was known because Of the
numerous murders in the neighbor-
hood. Cincinnati was wide open" IN
those days and unbridled saloons and
gambling flourished. Cox, however,
kept his place orderly and established
a reputation for physical courage that
he maintained throughout his career.
He Immediately became q leader In
local politics and soon spread his In
fluence until he virtually controlled
the Republican machine In Hamilton
county, obtained a powerful hold on
state politics and welded an influ-
ence in national campaigns.
When Cox announced his retirement
from politics in 1909, Hermann and
Hynicka continued the organization
which was considered intact until 1t
was beaten in the mayoralty race In
Cincinnati a little more than three
years later.
Cox as a young man was an enthusl-
astic baseball fan. He organized and
was a member OF the "Oseeolas," dur
ing the strenuous days OF baseball
when fights were frequent. The motto
of the club was win, Tie or Fight"
and Cox is said always to have been
where the trouble was the thickest.
Later he was associated with August
Hermann in the ownership of the Gin
cinnati Nationals. The ill-fortunes Of
that club palled on Cox, however. and
when he became tired of supporting a
"tail-ender," he sold his stock.
