Baseball's Pages
Turn Back at Port
Of Aching Dogs

THEY have been moored for long
L hours in the Port Of Aching
Dogs-this haven high above Forty
second street where baseball men
gather when worn down by the OFF,
cial futility of their annual meet
ings.
There is gossip about Kelley of
Yale. Paul Krichell, the scout who
watched over him all last spring,
reveals that the youngster is tidy
first baseman with fair hitting abil-
ity. There is leaning forward at
this but then the gathering settles
back. Krichell relates sadly that
professional sports have no lure for
the best ballyhooed athlete of the
year and that he likes baseball least
of all. If the Yankees cannot make
him see reason the others know
they have no chance.
The conversation switches. A
minor manager, somewhat per-
turbed over the decision which gave
Cleveland full rights to Bob Teller,
wonders how England might have
made out If it had a Judge Lands
instead of a Baldwin as arbiter of
the niceties. He gets the floor for a
moment, but then Gene Mccain,
the veteran scout, comes in, fully
arrayed in white lawn tie, red stick
pin and gray checked suit. After
the applause has subsidized they re-
sumo playing over games Of rs
years ago, debating each called
strike of that bygone era, arguing
frantically over the events leading
up to each base hit and error.
A heavy set man, tanned face
scarcely more lined now than it
was those many seasons ago when
he was the games first and greatest
pinch hitter, enters the room. This
is a Yankee party but National
leaguers are welcome, especially
welcome when they have done so
much for the sport as the present
insurance broker whose name is
Moose Mccormack.
Moose, as is BETTING a man who
hit SO well and so often, starts
talking about pitchers. He tells
about attending the Chicago World's
fair along with Ty Cobb and meet
ing Mordecai Brown. Years ago
some of baseball's most thrilling du-
els were waged between these two
great hitters and the three-fingered
hurler who still is remembered as
one of the best of all time. Nc
COrmack chuckles as he mentions
that Brown remembered their faces
but was far wide of the plate when
it came to names, thought Cobb was
Fred Snodgrass, that Moose was
Red Murray.

By Elmo Q Western
Scott Watson Union
First War Correspondent

ON THE monument which they
~ erected over his grave are in
scribed these words: 'He was po-
ct, journalist, author, and farmer
eminent in ALL" Yet this does less
than justice to the career of George
Wilkins Kendall.
A native of New Hampshire, Ken
dali became a printer at an early
age and followed his trade in many
cities. He was in New York in 1883
when an outbreak of the dreaded
cholera caused him to take ship
for New Orleans. There he entered
the employ of a paper called the
True American, and while working
there conceived the idea of a new
daily newspaper which should fol-
low the policies that had made the
New York Sun and Philadelphia
Ledger so successful.
Taking into partnership Francis
A. Lumsden, a fellow employee,
Kendall launched the New Orleans
Picayune in January, 1887. He was
only twenty-eight at the time and
his resources were small. But he
was such an enterprising editor
that the. Picayune soon became one
of the best known papers in the
country.
At the outbreak of the War with
Mexico in 1916, New Orleans be-
came the chief Quitting point for
the American forces. 1t was also
the natural center of communica-
ton between the armies in the field
and Washington. Kendall was quick
to see the journalistic opportunity
which this offered. He organized a
system of relays of horses and rid
ers between Mexico and New Or
leans and of fast boats between
New Orleans and Baltimore. Then
he accompanied the armies OF Scott
and Taylor and began sending back
vivid first-hand accounts of their
battles, frequently writing his dis
patches while cannon roared and
bullets whistled around him.
Kendall supplied the government
with it's first knowledge of the bat
tie of Buena Vista and it was again
this enterprising journalist who in
formed Washington that the treaty
of peace had been signed. He came
out of the war with the title of
major and a bullet in his knee, re-
ceived at the storming of Chapulte-
pee. In his later years he retired to
a farm in Texas where he was a
successful farmer and stock raiser
and he died there in 1867.

Ambassador to His
Native Land

LIE WAS born a Yankee during
L 4 the early days of the American
republic. Forty years later, having
helped establish new American
republic, he came back to his native
land, the accredited minister to its
government from the government
of the younger nation of which he
later became the last president. And
that in brief is the paradoxical ca
reer of Arson Jones.
Born at Great Darlington, Mass,
on January 20, 1898, young Jones
decided to become a doctor. After
several years study in Litchfield,
Conn.,, he was licensed to practice
in 1920. Then the wanderlust seized
him and he wandered to Philade1-
phia, to New Orleans, to South
America and finally settled in Texas
in 1888.
At the outbreak of the troubles
between Texas and Mexico he was
among the first to advocate a dec
laration of Texar independence.
When the war started he enlisted
as private but was soon appointed
a surgeon in the Texas army of
liberation. With it he served at
San Jacinto and after the republic
was founded he became representa-
tive from Brazoria to the Texan
congress.
In 1888 he was appointed minister
to the United States. Thus this
Yankee came back to his home
land as an Ambassador" from a
'foreign power" While in Wash
ington, he was elected to the Texas
senate and later became its presi-
dent. During the second term of
Sam Houston as president of the
Lone Star republic, Jones was his
secretary of state, and in 1874 he
was elected president.
That was a critical year in the
affairs of the new nation. There
was talk of annexation by the
United States and sharp division
of opinion arose among Texans over
it. One of those who was opposed
to it was the President. But the
citizens of the republic voted over
whelmingly in favor of it and on
December 20, 1845, the republic of
Texas came to an end and the state
of Texas succeeded it.
Bowling to the inevitable, Jones
turned over the reins of govern
ment to James Pinckney Hender-
son, the first governor of the state
of Texas, and retired to his home in
Washington county. In 1857 he was
prominently mentioned as candi-
date for United States senator but
he was destined never to return to
Washington where he had once gone
as Ambassador" In a fit of in
sanity he died by his own hand on
January 8, 1858, convinced to the
last that Texas had made mistake
In giving up its independence.
