Browns-in 1887 by President
Don Barnes and again June
10, 1852, by the irrepressible
Bill Veeck.
For Veeck, Hornsby served
less than three months of
three-year contract. The Rajah
was not happy with his players,
nor they with him.
Hornsby came to Cincinnati
in August, 1852, and was dis
missed September IT, 1858,
from a contract due to expire
two months later. At the time
Hornsby said; i've had a lot
Of jobs and I'll have a lot
more" Again, it was the play
ers who complained about
Hornsby's martinez steward
ship.
Survivors include the widow,
Marjorie, a stepdaughter, Mary
Beth Porter, 26, who lived with
the Hornsbys, and a son by
Hornsby's second wife, William
Hornsby, 81, of Madison, Tenn.
Hornsby was divorced from his
first two wives.
Strong Opinions
Hornsby had strong opinions
about baseball and never hesi-
tated to express them.
This might be best illustrated
in a 1857 letter he sent to
Representative Emanuel Celler,
who was head of a legislative
committee investigating pro-
fessional baseball.
mo one has asked for my
opinion" wrote the Rajah, "but
as a former player, manager
of major and minor league
clubs 1 have concluded
that owe a duty to the COM
mittee and to baseball to
express my views for consid-
Grafton by your committee.
Then, in his five-page, single
spaced letter, Hornsby recon-
mended curbing of extensive
farm systems, unfreezing of
minor league players, reduction
of the major league squad limit
from Is to % players and re-
striction of TV and radio COW
erage of major league games.
He concluded:
Il sincerely hope that no
act of any man will ever do
anything detrimental to this
American institution of base
ball, either as a participant
sport or a spectator sport, and
no effort on my part is too
great as contribution to its
perpetuation."

Kill the President Note found on
 California Vagrant

BERKELEY, Calf. R - The Secret Service says a man was arrested in Berkeley, Calif., with note in his pocket reading, "The immediate goal is the assassina- ton of President Johnson" He is identified as 29-year-o1d Robert Fennell, formerly of Sioux City, Iowa. The Secret Service chief Tn San Francisco, Tom Hanson, says he will file a complaint be- fore the US. Commissioner in Oakland, charging Fennell with threatening the President of the United States. The Iowa man is being held now on a vagrancy charge.
 Police said there were four copies of the note which they said were to have been sent to the White House, a San Francisco newspaper and to other publica- tions and organizations.
 Officers quoted the note as say ing in part: "Im increasingly sickened by the peoples reaction to the assassination of President Kennedy. Nowhere have I read or heard the underlying reason. Unless Americans accept their po- litical responsibility and abolish the office of leader we shall con- tinue to abolish leaders,"
 The San Francisco News Call Bulletin talked by phone to Sioux City sources. The paper said that a psychiatrist in Sioux City, Dr. Phillip Pugh, reported Fennell was in mental hospital at Chero- kee, Iowa, for time in 1859, and once threatened to kill a Sioux City girl.

: Lieehtenstein has its postage

ekoo clocks.
And Virginia has its license
plates.
To residents Of the Old
Dominion. who know Virginia
as the Mother OF Presidents
and the Father Of Taxes, it
may come as a shock to learn
that their State is famous as
the source Of welcome tax re-
lief for certain citizens Of Spain.
The tax relief is achieved
through unique, Trsns-Atlan-
tic combination Of laxity: Vir-
gina officials are as generous
in their Issuance Of auto license
tags to non-residents as Span
ish officials are in their check
ing Of cars with foreign plates.
The result Is that hundreds
of Spaniards send away for Vir-
ginia tags each year. This en-
ables them to avoid personal
property taxes that Spaniards
With Spanish license plates on
their cars get tagged with each
year.
According to Melvin B. Trice,
director of the Bureau Of We
hicles at Richmond, the export
trade in Virginia plates to
Spain is brisk: 400 or 500 a
year. Very few of the recipients
are Americans, he said.
All anyone has TO do, in
Spain or elsewhere. to acquire
a set of Virginia plates for the
first time, is to pay the
Sll registration and title
fee. $50 uninsured-motorist
