OWING ADVICE to young man about
" going into the newspaper business Is
like giving advice to the lovelorn Both
are hazardous undertakings
This writer has spent all his working
life in the profession. II some ambitious fell
low came to me and asked me whether he
should try journalism and how, would
advise him against 1t. Yet II had 1t to
do all over again, it would be my choice
It is my belief that 1t is harder to get
started in the newspaper business now than
when broke in away back in 1908. There
were many more papers and Jobs at that
time and less pay. There were no schools
of Journalism, so a reporter had to come
up through the ranks. Today there are
many applicants for every opening, espe-
ciaIly on big city publications Even grad
yates Of the Columbia School Of Journalism
start as office boys running copy on the
New York Daily News.
I wouldn't 60 into the business unless
wanted to be writer and thought had
some ability. OF course, there are jobs as
editors, but the pyramid gets smaller nearer
the top.
would pick out some small town with
a good newspaper and try to get an intro
duction to the editor from somebody,
(maybe Wheeler. Then would give him
the biggest pitch could as to why he
should hire me.
I believe this is about the best training
for writing career. Ernest Hemingway
worked on the Kansas City Star. Ring
Lardner put in several years on Chicago
papers Damon Runyon was also sports
writer and newspaperman until he died.
There Is one prominent publisher Of my
acquaintance who explains quite frankly
how he broke In.
81 polished up the handle of the big
front door and married the boss daughter"
he says. That kind Of an opportunity does
not come to college graduates every day.
Some publishers are so cagey they don't
even have daughters.
If 1t hadn't been for a girl and big
league baseball, this reporter might haze
been a real estate salesman or a lawyer.
Through lucky break, the last year was
in Columbia, was appointed the college
correspondent of the old New York Herald
My mother was set on my going back to
law school. The day before graduation,
Leo Redding, then city editor, called me
into his Office.
What are you going to do when you
finish college?" he asked.
Il don't know" I answered, fibbing little.
do you want a job here?"
accepted promptly before he could
change his mind.
when can you Start?"
Day after tomorrow" replied.
Still expected to go back to law school,
but along about September, the regular
baseball writer got sick, and I was offered
the job. That year was exciting: Merkle

race ended in a tie. At the same time
became a retired law student
Now where does the girl come in? She
lived in Yonkers on the right side Of the
tracks, and her father was the president
Of big real estate company. He also had
hardening Of the arteries. When we ap-
preached him about marriage. his arteries
got harder, and he threw me out, saying
was In hazardous profession. decided
1t didn't make any difference what hap
pened to me and stuck to the newspaper
business. His real estate company went
broke shortly afterwards.
I believe was the first ghost writer,
turning out series by Christy Mathewson
called Pitching in a Pinch" afterwards
published as a book. From then on was
spook for athletes and nearly everybody
else except President Harding. That's how
I started in the syndicate business, which
has been good to me.
To sum up. Ideas are what pay on, like
ghost writing for athletes, but it is too
late for that gag now You are facing a
shrinking market. Many newspapers have
been merged. Only recently two big press
associations were telescoped into one, and
lot Of guys were looking for jobs.
Nevertheless, in my case, would give
1t try If had 1t to do all over again.
