Among the authors included are: Robert Benchley, Nunnally Johnson, Red Smith, Heywood Broun, Ogden Nash, Ring Lardner, Frederick Funston, Grantland Rice, Robert Ruark, John McGraw,Digby Belly and Anon Y. Mous. Frederick Funston (November 9, 1865 February 19, 1917), also known as Fighting Fred Funston, was a general in the United States Army, best known for his roles in the SpanishAmerican War and the PhilippineAmerican War. He received the Medal of Honor for his actions during the PhilippineAmerican War. He wrote about Baseball in Alaska. After one year as a journalist, Funston moved into more scientific exploration, focusing primarily on botany. First serving as part of an exploring and surveying expedition in Death Valley, California. In 1891, he then traveled to Alaska to spend the next two years in work for the United States Department of Agriculture. John Joseph McGraw (April 7, 1873 February 25, 1934) was an American Major League Baseball (MLB) player and manager who was for almost thirty years manager of the New York Giants. He was also the third baseman of the pennant-winning 1890s Baltimore Orioles teams, noted for their innovative, aggressive play. Digby Bell (born Digby Valentine Bell; November 8, 1849 June 20, 1917) was a popular vaudeville entertainer and Broadway performer at the beginning of the 20th century. Bell was a fervent golfer and New York Giants baseball fan, as was his friend and frequent co-star DeWolf Hopper. Henry Stanley Lomax was a New York sportscaster whose radio career stretched from the days of Jack Dempsey and Babe Ruth to those of Muhammad Ali and Reggie Jackson. Known to sports fans as Stan Lomax, he was with WOR Radio from 1932 to 1976. He later worked for WBAI and WNYC. Before broadcasting, he had worked as a reporter for the New York Journal-American. Mr. Lomax will be best remembered for his love of amateur athletics. In his nightly 15-minute radio sports reports, Mr. Lomax always made time to promote the local amateur teams. His long career provided Mr. Lomax with a wealth of stories. Among his favorites were the early days of professional hockey in New York, when people would attend games dressed in tuxedos and not know how the game was played or why players were fighting on the ice. He would also tell of the 1923 boxing match in which Luis Firpo knocked Jack Dempsey out of the ring. Dempsey landed on a reporter's typewriter, which later was sold for a handsome sum. Mr. Lomax was president of the Sports Broadcasters Association and the Baseball Writers Association, and a member of the New York Racing Writers Association.…
