All day long they came. some in

persons in rags. Sidewalk traffic was
blocked and hundreds we've unable to

Many other boyhood friends of MI
Anson's came. some of them so old they
could not walk alone and had to be as
sisted by younger persons. Mingling
with these men Who had personally wit
messed the prowSss or Gap" or Pop"
as they knew him. were boys in the :
teens who knew the old timer more as
a myth than as an actuality A group
of caddies from the Jackson Park links
came for last glimpse of the man they
had heard call fore so often.
Just as the services were started by
the Rev. r.. Keene Ryan 1t was decided
to have Commissioner Landis give the
funeral oration.

The Baseball Commissioner eulogize
Mr.. Anson. his personal friend for forty
years, as a man who had played the
game square" from birth through hts
threescore and ten years.
''He watched baseball and many other
sports grow from infancy to their pres

sioner. HE went through their troubles
and tribulations. But he never faltered.
he never failed in the pinch, he never
made a mistake. We OF to-day should
pattern our life after this man. have
never kown him to do anything that
would not bring respect and admiration
right from your heart"
AS the Rev. Mr. Ryan pronounced the
final words of dust to dust" many hand
kerchiefs were lifted to the eyes OF the
old timers, who were grouped on one
side of the chapel.
The burial tomorrow will be private.
At first 1t was planned to take the
body to Philadelphia. but 1t WAS felt
that if Mr.. Arson could decide ne would
wish to remain here where he grew up,
so the plans to remove Mrs. Arson here
were made.
