ONCE BELL-HOP,
F
THE BED SOX
• PEORIA, 111., Dec. 8.—Harry Fra
zee, new owner of the Boston Red Sox,
world’s champion baseball club, got
his start to fame much the same as
did Joseph J. Lannin, late owner of
the club. It was in this city years and
years ago that Frazee, as a boy,
worked in the old Peoria hotel as a
bell-hop. Frazee was a good bell-hop
and a reputation that clings with him
to this day was established among the
patrons.
Hopping bells in the Peoria hotel,
however, didn’t last very long, for
Frazee jumped his job and went over
to a bill-posting company, where he
also became expert. His bill posting
made him a habitue of local theatres,
and ambition just naturally pushed
him along until he finally landed a job
with a burlesque company as a “ban
ner man,” one of the bill posters who
is second in advance work.
Frazee’s climb to fortune started
soon after that. He saved his money
until he had enough to procure an in
terest in “Maloney’s Wedding Day,”
and promoted himself shortly after
ward to fame when he became con
nected with “Uncle Josh Spruceby”
and “Uncle Josh Simpkins.” Further
running around the country with an
occasional venture in uncertain theat
rical productions finally landed him in
Chicago, where he opened a booking
office and the way to easy sailing at
the same time. One of his best known
successes was “Isles of Spice.” An
other was “The Time, Place and the
Girl.”
It has been his ambition, he recently
declared to a friend who lives here, to
own a baseball club. He always has
been interested more or less in sports,
and was largely responsible for the
fact that Jesse Willard won the
world’s heavyweight championship
from Jack Johnson. He invested heav
ily in the promotion of the bout, after
ward saying he did it solely to bring
the chapionship back to a white man.
Frazee also financed the world tour
of James J. Jeffries and Frank Gotch
several years ago.

DUISBURG, Germany, Nov. 10._
(By Mail.)—In a little apartment on
Hindenburg-strausse today sits an old
American general, who is waiting for
I the war to end so he can return to the
i United States.
This aged hero of Lincoln’s day is
Major General Osterhaus, Only sur
viving major general of the Civil war,
father of Admiral Osterhaus of the
U. S. navy and grandfather of Lieut
enant Osterhaus, U. S. N. Major
General Osterhaus will soon he 95.
The general, whose hair and beard
are creamy white, sat in his library
reading war news when American
newspaper men called today to pay
their respects. He is vigorous and
alert and appears to be in his seven
ties. His joy at seeing Americans was
great and he beamed with happiness.
Repeatedly he asked that his greet
ings be sent to America and to say
that he was “going back as soon as
the war was ended.”
Major General Osterhaus discussed
many phases of the war with the
greatest zeal. He is a great admirer
of Field Marshal von Hinderburg and
he believes the war could have been
ended long ago if Hindenburg had been
made chief of the general staff at the
beginning.
“Hindenburg is the greatest general
the world has produced,” he said. “He
would have defeated Napoleon the
first day.”
Major General Osterhaus’ library is
like an old Civil war museum. One of
his desks, I believe, was given to him
by President Johnson. On his desk are
autograph photos of Lincoln, Johnson
and other American statesmen of the
Civil war period. He has the keenest
recollection of frequent meetings with
Lincoln, and members of his cabinet.
Johnson appointed him American con
sul at Havre, France, after the Civil
war. Before that he was the first
governor general of Louisiana after
the state was admitted to the Union.
After the show we generally have
a nice lunch at the North Pole Bakery.
