Jones was an exceptionally
fast and graceful outflelder who
covered the vast territory be
tween Tip O'Neill and Pat
Dougherty in eft and Hahn IN
right like a circus tent. He had
a powerful and accurate right
arm. His lefthandedness was
confined TO batting.
Jones learned his baseball un-

Brooklyn and Baltimore clubs
were merged in 1899
Hanlons Orioles had revolu-
tionized the game, and. while he
had TO give way to Jimmy
Sheckard, who was thanked by
Kelley and Wee Willie Keller in
Flatbush, Jones obtained grand
idea Of what baseball was all
about. His education was com
pleted under Clark Griffith in
Chicago. He was on three sue
ceSsive pennant winners.
Jones, whom not few old
timers consider the greatest Of
all stratcgists, got there with the
least power because he knew
how TO handle pitchers and fig
ured every batter.
He was a fiery competitor
and impaired his tremendous en-
thusiasm 10 his men, says Con-
ME Mack He was the highly
strung type, but as cool as a
lime rlckey in a tight spot.
IL recall Jones catching the
fly ending the first World Series
game Of 06 and giving Nick Al
trock a 81 victory over Three
Fingered Brown after each had
yielded no more than four hits.

last moment, emerges long landing strip
and, finally, newly-built administration build

at Parnamarin.
Things are happening on this field, too.
short, sandy-haired man who was running
an airplane parts factory only year ago but
now wears colonels eagles on his shoulders,
is standing near the control tower. He gives
signal and flares snap on along the runway.
There is sudden splutter of engines from
the jungle brush around the field. For
minute it is just sporadic roar that rouses
the screeching wild birds from the trees, but
it grows swiftly and soon the night is filled
with a steady, pulsing thunder.
Out from the dispersal area beside the field
waddle the big birds - bombers that glisten
in the pale light like some prehistoric mon
sters emerging from the jungle underground.
One by one, they lumber down the connecting
runways toward the starting point while the
pitch of their engines shakes the darkness
Standing beside the main runway, you watch
the first one as it obeys the starting signal
1t is a clumsy, earth-bound and helpless
creature, rolling slowly and heavily laden
along the black asphalt. Then swiftly it
gathers speed, its tail comes up and sud-
denly there is a tremendous. whining
rush of metal across the field and the
bomber mounts in a graceful, bird-ike
arc toward the east. And behind it comes
the whine of another and still another.
