Marshall Makes
Bid for Braves

BOSTON, Aug. 3.-George Pres
ton Marshall. president Of the
Boston Redskins, professional
football team, loomed today as
the new president of the Boston
Braves, National League baseball
team.
The WaShingtonian admitted in
telephone calls he was spokesman
for a group which had made a
tangible offer" to Charles F..
Adams. who automatically became
controlling owner with the reSig-
nation of Judge Emil E. Fuchs.
Marshall would have to have con-
trolling interest, he was quoted as
stating.
Adams said he received an offer
from reputable men" which might
be accepted, but refused to name
the men.
Meanwhile Bill McKechnie, ele-
waited to the position of acting
general manager, was seeking
new blood to bolster his falter-
ing warriors. Hopelessly begged
in the cellar of the senior league,
it is believed the club will begin
Immediately to build for the
future.
McKechnie joined the Braves
in New York after attending a
conference with Adams, Ford c.
Frick, National League president
and others. Probably he ~,ill
leave the team in the hands of
Rabbit Meanwhile and Han:
Gowdy, to enter upon an inten.
Sive scouting campaign.
Adams stated that he did -.ot
feel he was enough of baseball
man to take active c-ltrc. of
the club.
"TO my mind a real baseball
man is needed at the helm"
he said.
"My varied interests will not
allow me to give the club much
of my time and 1 will be glad
to see someone invested with
the presidency who can keep
his hand on the rudder all the
time"

Sid KatEnell from obScurlty.
This youthful right-handed curve
ball artist has pitched nearly
every game with unusual etfec-
tiveness.
When he mounts the mound.
all his mates must do is to smack
out hits and runs to win the ball
game. He takes care OF the op-
position.
Matthias is small in stature,
but he's large when it comes to
throwing that pill over that plat
ter. The writer sincerely believes
this youngster has one of the
finest curve balls on the local
SandlotS.
In Action Tomorrow
You may see Matthias in action
tomorrow when Capital Transit

ROUnd-WOrId Flight
Brought Post Fame

Norman, Okla. With the armistice
he was mustered out Of the Army
and went to work as a helper on
an oil drilling rig.
During the summer Of 1919 he
had his first airplane ride. He
was a passenger in an antiquated
Jenny" and paid the pilot, a
passing transformer, $25 to give
him the works"
Five years later he quit oil
drilling to become an airman,
when he joined a transforming
troupe as substitute parachute
jumper. With the plan Of max
ing enough money to purchase a
plane of his own, Post went back
to oil drilling. It was at this
time, in Seminole, OKLA, he lost
his left eye when struck with a
chip of metal while hammering
linkpin into a heavy chain.
Eye Paid for Plane
The damages he received for
this accident. $4,000. he used to
purchase his first plane.
He worked for a while as a
private pilot, and when a prize
was offered for a flight from
Dallas to Hongkong, one of his
employees bought him a plane to
try for the purse of $25, 900. The
prize was withdrawn and Post re-
turned to work at the Lockheed
plant in Burbank, Cal, as test
pilot.
In 1880, after several years of
flying mails and passengers in
Mexico, Post received word from
his friend. F. C. Hall, who had
purchased the earlier plane for
him, that he had bought another
plane and again wished Post as
his pilot. That summer, Post first
flashed to prominence by defeat
ing crack pilots in the race from
Los Angeles to the national air
races in Chicago.

One of the incidents that gave
those who knew Will Rogers &
glimpse of the real man is related
in the following story told by
Arthur G.. Newmyer, publisher o
The Washington Times:
an 1927, Louisiana suffered
from one of the worst OverflOws
in the history of the Mississippi.
As general manager Of the
New Orleans Item, I asked Will
Rogers to come to New Orleans
for a Embarrassing performance
for the benefit of the flood sui
ferers. Rogers readily &C
quiesced. On the morning Of
his arrival 1 visited at his hotel
and found him abed. He
claimed to be merely tired and
requested me to get a Govern

Wiley Post first startled the
world in 1881, when. with Harold
Gatty acting as copilot, he made
his first round-the-world flight in
record breaking time.
His greatest triumph, however,
came just two years later, in July
of 1888, when he made the first
solo flight around the globe ever
attempted. Not only did he do
it, but he clipped 81 hours from
the Post-Gatty time, completing
his globe-girdling dash in exactly
7 days, 18 hours and 4912 minutes,
exhibiting almost superhuman en-
durance as the flight was made
with practically no time out for
sleeping.
A farmers son, Wiley Post was
born November 1898. in Van
Zandt county, Texas. Farming,
however, never interested him
much, and at an early age he
exhibited a preference for things
mechanical. The experiments OF
the Wright brothers were much
more to the liking of this young
farmer. and he followed the
progress Of aviation with keen
interest. even in the days when
the industry was little more than
fancy talk"
Enlisted in Army
Although born in Texas, Post
is more often associated with
Oklahoma as he moved with his
parents to a farm in that State
while very young. He left the
farm to take a. three-monthS'
course in automobile mechanics
when he was II.
When war was declared he en-
listed in the aviation division Of
the Signal Corps by misrepresent-
ing his age, but was discharged
when the deception was discov-
cred. Later. however, he was adj
mitted to an S. A T. C. camp at

'HOmespun Wit Won
ROGERS Love OF Nation

Will Rogers, who was killed to-
day in an airplane crash with
Wiley Post in Alaska, was beloved
by Americas millions as perhaps
no other single person was loved.
His ready wit, his "home-spun"
acting, both in the old-time Zieg-
field Follies and later in the
movies, and his daily newspaper
comment, with it's witty and,
oftentimeS, barbed wise cracks"
about current events, made him
one OF the most popular public
figures in the country.
Ironically, his death in a plane
crash climaxed a long campaign
waged by him through his news
paper comments to popularize fly.
ing and to impress the safety Of
aviation upon the public mind.
Born in Oklahoma
Rogers was Sc years old, being
born November 4, 1879, at Oola-
gah, Okla, then Indian Territory.
A born-in-the-blood cowboy, he
learned to rope a steer and break
O broncho with the best Of them.
He was rs years old when he
made his first stage appearance
in a vaudeville skit at the old
Hammerstein's Roof Garden in
New York. His success was in.
Simultaneous and from 1914 to
1925, except for three years in
the cinema, he was starred with
the Ziegfeld Follies and the Night
Frolic.
Rogers was an intimate friend
of both Presidents and men in the
street. He was a frequent White
fInllse visitor hit that never nre.

Killed Instantly, Plane Torn Apart
To Remove the Body of Wiley Post

stupefied to rush to the assistance
of Rogers and Post trapped in the
machine, the natives sent one of
their runners to Point Barrow
while they stood in stricken awe
of the Inflated red and gold mono
plane, which had brought two Of
Americas most noted figures on
a friendly visit to their isolated
land.
Although Morgan did not men
ton the fact it appeared likely
that he enlisted the aid of the
body of the humoriSt to the shore
and then rip apart the planes
fuselage in order to extract the
imprisoned body of Post.
Placing the bodies in his rented
motor launch, Morgan apparently
commenced his tragic trip back
to Fort Barrow in the unnatural
light of the six-month long Arctic
day.
