SCANLON, DIAMOND | [t ioncer s | PIONEER, IS DEAD Fall Froves Fatal to Father' of Organized Base Ball | in Washington. Michael D. Scanlon, pioneer in local | base ball circles and former head of the old Nationals base ball team, from which the present Washington Base | Ball Cilub is an outgrowth, died in| Georgetown University Hospital today. He had been ailing since he had a fal at Ninth street and Pennsylvania ave- nue several days ago. He was flr«t‘ taken to Emergency Hospital. from where he was removed to the George- town University Hospital. He was widely known among the “old timers” in base ball and maintained an active interest in the game until his death. Funeral services will be conducted in St. Patrick’s Catholic Church Monday | morning at 9 o'clock. Interment will be in Mount Olivet Cemetery. Served in Union Army. Mr. Scanlon, a lifelong resident n(\ ‘Washington, was born here October 24, 1847, | While still a youth he enlisted in the | Union Army during the Civil War, serving in the commissary deparuncn. throughout the war. With the advent of base ball fol- Jowing the close of hostilities, Mr. Scan- lon was one of the first to take an ac- tive interest in the game here. He assisted in organizing the Cratun Club team, one of the first in the city, and for a number of years was its manager. | The team, organized in 1867, rcmained | active for several years. In 1876 he took over the Nationals, forerunner of the present day American League team. He managed this team, which he claimed did more to aid base ball In gaining foothold in the United States than any other organization. He is the last survivor of this famous team which included Arthur Pue Gorman, former Senator from Maryland: Billie ‘Williams, pitcher; Harry Burthrong, catcher, who recently died in Boston; Hodges, first base; Parker, second base; McLean, third base: Schmidt, short- stop: Robinson, left field: Studley, cen- terfield. The late Senator played right | field and was treasurer of the team. With Robert Hewitt, Robert Drinkerd and Charles White, prominent Wash- ington bankers, Mr. Scanlon entered the Nationals in the” National League in 1884. Hewitt was president and | ‘White was treasurer of the club. The team was neither a financial success nor | a winner on the field at the start, but players' salaries were low and other | expenses were as moderate. He re- mained associated with the club as manager, president and owner until 1900, when all interests were sold to the Wagner brothers of Philadelphia. For more than 23 years Mr. Scanlon conducted a billlard parlor at 408 Ninth street. Mr. Scanlon is survived by one son, Edward A. Scanlon, local attorney. BOY KILLED COASTING.
