J. Leonard Replogle, “With the Accent on the Jay,” Just ‘Plugged Along” Until He Attained His Present Position in the World of Finance. He Won the Amateur Cham—No, He Just Plays a Little Golf and He Roots for the Giants and for Literature. | By Nixola Greeley-Smith. Just twentyfive years ago J. Leonard Replogle, twelve years old, started to work as an office boy for the Cambria Steel Company, at Johns- town, Pa., his home town, Yesterday, a new power in the world of steel, he cowered behind his desk in the tower of the Equitable Building—cowered because of his first interview. if he did not want to be interviewed he should not have bid $15,000,000 for 240,000 shares of Cambria Steel and 80 qualified as the hero of this story.) “The papers are wrong in saying that I started to work as a water boy and that I got $5 a week,” Mr. Replogle told me after much persuasion. “My first job was as an office boy and I got 60 cents a day, just $3.60 a week. “Did you live on ft? I asked. “I tried to. I always tried to live on what I made.” And then suddenly that staid business office on the twenty-elghth floor of the Equitable be- came suffused, irradiated with what | took at first to be the rays of the late afternoon sun setting over Staten Island.

Leonard Replogie, office boy, followed by the successive promot..ns which ended in the Vice Presidency. I did NOT ob- tain these facts from Mr. Replogie. I doubt if he has told so many things about himself to Mrs. J. Leonard Keplogie, the charming young woman to whom he bas been married for the last ten years. (It was about Mrs, Replogle that the blushing, deprecat- ing, horribly embarrassed, new steel magnate spoke his only unrestrained sentence tome.) “If I have had any success I attribute every bit of it to her,” he said. And then he added: “Now, don’t you put that in!" But’ T could not help it, because T am sure that Mrs, J. Leonard Replo- gle will be glad he said it, and as he Is [not a very articulate person it may never have occurred to him to aay it to her himself. T can see him blush | when he reads this. And T promised [him that whatever I wrote would be dignified. Well, all I can say is— this is as dignified as T know how to he, And, oh, you friends of J, Leon- ard Replogie, please, please don't “Josh” him about it, because be will never forgive me if you do, Confronted with his past, as T have outlined it, Mr. Replogle admitted tt between more blushes. “Qh, yes: It's all wo; It's all so," he “Sadly, of course, with a little © thygwn in here and there.” iraged, T accused Mr. Replogte having organized the Amateur Athlevics, the Johnstown Baseball team which was famous throughout Pennsylvania, HE’S A BASEBALL AND A GOLF FAN, “Yes, I did It—and we beat several National League teams, But I'm only a fan now. CH course I play golf (Mr. Replogie’s shrewd blue eye lighted suddenly with the golfer’s gleam, Surely, I thought, we're off this ume). “Toa, ike golf.

Tens of thousands of New York children sympathize with Jim Crowley, “Black Diamond's” keeper, who sat in tears @t the Zoo this aftergoon recalling in- cidents of his pet's public career. There was no charge agatnst “Black Diamond” exwept that he was growing old und it was necessary to replace him in the Central Park herd with younger bull. ‘To have intro- duced a new bull and keep “Black Diamond” would have meunt succes sion of battles in which either or both might have been killed. So the big beast was ordered included In_ the surplus live stock auction last June. Ho was bought by A, Silz, the “Tur- key King” and was left at the park subject to his call.

Tho big bull never blinked, but stared inquir- ingly @t the would-be executioner.
