In Madison Square Garden. With the

not, Buck arranged for tickets for his
sportswriting friends.
At the appointed time to meet In the
lobby Of the Hotel New Yorker the less
imaginative showed up wearing their un-
pressed street clothes and button labeled
press" on their lapels. But Buck, leaning
against pillar, wore rare finery. He had
chaps (the fuzzy kind and a shirt with
all that Roy Rogers stitching and the most
monstrous gallon hat.
Pinned on this intrepid Westerners
broad chest was a button unlike those Of
the rest Of us. 1t read Contestant"
"You never can TELL" Buck explained.
Il might just feel the urge to compete"
THE YANKEES AND THE old Giants
and the Brooklyn Dodgers loved Buck
o'Neill because he could write and he was
fair and, above all, he knew what he was
writing about. Oh, Buck might have bruised
few ball players in his day, but he never
undresSed them in public print.
He had little trouble adjusting him
self to Washington when he came to work
for the old TinseS-Herdld, leaving his be-
loved New York. Once there was news
paper ball game at Griffith Stadium-The
Star versus The Post, Ttmes-Herald and
Netos, If memory serves. The Senators
kindly consented to outfit the contestants
-as matter Of fact, the late Clark Grit
fifth and the late Eddie Eynon and Billy
Smith played-in Washington uniforms.
Buck would have none Of it. He wrote
to New York and asked for Yankee uni
form, although the one piece of equipment
that wasn't sent was cap. This left
oNeill, who was bald, without q headpiece.
II will furnish you with cap" Eynon
said. with that head cleaning in the
sun you provide a background hazard, any
way"
"Never!" Buck said. "This is Yankee
uniform all the way to the top Of my shoul-
ders. And that's how it's going to be-"
BUT BUCK O'NEIL essentially was an
impartial and gifted reporter and for years
he turned out solid and readable copy on
the Washington Senators. Eventually he
had his stroke and, upon recovery, returned
to New York to work on the news desk Of
the Daily Nelcs.
Never once in long relationship did
he mention that he won the Sports Story
Of the Year" award, with 81 900 connected
with it. This was in 1924, when Buck was
beating some of the best in his coverage Of
the Senator'S Giants battle In the World
Series.
But he did mention, often, how 81 could
rowl" It's never been proved that he
could, and now 1t never will.

WVM LOSE OR DRAW
There Was Only One
Frank (Buck) O'NeiII

LONG AGO AN EDITOR spoke warn
ingly and wisely against writing about ones
own breed. People Just don't give damn
about sportswriters, or any other kind of
newspaperman," he lectured. "Its a poi
sonous subject. Go interview lady weight
litter"
The rule herewith is broken because
Frank (Buck) ONeill wasn't Just another
sportswriter. If he wasn't the last Of the
colorful historians Of the species, he was
one Of them. Buck was rs when he passed
away In New York, and not q day was
wasted.
Buck was bombastic and kind. He
walked among the giants of his craft and
loudly spoke his piece. But underneath the
tough veneer he was fan and he idolized
the heroes, mainly Yankees such as Babe
Ruth and Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio.
Although he had no valid reputation as a
Judge Of talent, Buck always insisted that
he discovered Gehrig on what Columbia
University calls a campus.
His colleagues dismissed the claim as
one placed by dreamer, but in later years
one Of the Yankee. ScoutS-it might have
been Skiff or ESsrick-said:
Buck sure was the first to see the
potential in Gehrig. He beat that type
writer pretty good in behalf of Lou, and it
wasn't easy. A Lot of people thought Gehrig
was q muscle-bound type with legs that
were too heavy and not enough co-ordina-
alton"
BUCK ONEIIL,, HIMSELF, was a big,
hefty man in his prime. He had blosSomed
into top-flight sportswriter in such COM
pany as Sid Mercer, Westbrook Pegler, Boze
Bulger, Haywood Broun, Joe williams, Bill
Mcclellan, Grantland Rice, Ring Lardner
and other giants Of the craft.
Bucks appraisal of his own athletic
talents was generous. He was too heavy for
/ track, too slow for boxing (although he'd
willingly fight Jack Dempsey in a GYM,
too lacking In finesse to break par In golf
But years ago, when the Poughkeepsie Re-
gatta was big event, Buck put in claim
as rover Of renown.
"Can you really row?" asked one Of his
tribesmen, probably Joe williams.
"Can I row!" Buck beloved. "Ill say
I can rowI"
So for long time oNeill became
known as "Can-he-row!" Somewhere about
this time Buck took fancy to the rodeo
and, although most Of his friends and col
leagues figured him no more Western than
Syracuse, ONeill began to indulge in pic
turesque garments borrowed from the tum-
bleweed country.
