Hollingshead, Man- ager of Old Moxley Club, Nationals’ Ancestor. John §. Hollingshead, 73 years old, native . Washingtonian and veteran base ball player, who had the distinc- tion in 1884 of managing the first Washington hase ball club to repre- sent this city in a big league for a full seasori. died at the John Dickson Home, 5000 Fourteenth street, early today after a lingering illness. Mr. Hollingshead managed the old club, sometimes called the Senators.or Nationals, which was one of the teams of the old American As- socfation League in the days long before the American League was or- ganized. He played left fleld in addi- 11 tion to managing the team and pulled down long flies or hot liners with his bare hands and poled out long hits on the old base ball grounds located at Ninth and S streets. Employed by Government. Mr. Hollingshead started his career as a professional player long before he became manager of the old Moxley Club, but reached the height of his achievement as a ball player in 1884. Prior to that date, among the teams he played for was one in the old East- ern League, managed by M. B. Scan- on, who conducted a poolroom at Ninth and F streets, and who was a fellow ball player. In addition to his career as a ball player, Mr. Hollingshead was em- ployed in the United States Govern- ment service for many vears. He is said to have resigned a position as clerk in the United States Internal Revenue to accept the managership of the old Washington team of the American Assoclation, and later he went to work in the Interior Depart- ment, retiring in 1923, when he went to the John Dickson Home to live. Father Was Judge. Mr. Hollingshead was the son of the late Judge John Hollingshead of Wisconsin and Washington. .
