Sad Sam Jones Dies at 73, Pitched 22 Years
Woodsfield, Ohio (AP)
Sad Sam Jones, who shared with Cy Young the record for
longevity among major league baseball pitchers of all time, is dead. The
73-year-old Jones was stricken here Wednesday at his home where he had lived
since leaving baseball for good after a brief stint as a minor league relief
hurler in 1947.
Jones would have been 74 in 20 more days, and also would have
marked his golden anniversary with his wife, Edith, the same day. Sad Sam
enter the major leagues with
While Jones' career was impressive, it also was marked by
disappointment. For one thing, he pitched in six games in four World
series without winning a game. While with the Yankees in the 1923 World Series,
he tossed a four-hitter at the New York Giants only to lose 1-0 on a
fourth-inning home run by Casey Stengel.
Jones set two records of dubious distinction for the Yankees in
1925. He gave up 127 earned runs that year while posting a record of 15-21. The
earned run mark and the 21 games lost stand today in the Yankees' record
books. Many athletes have used the nickname Sad Sam, but Paul Turner

WOODSFIELD--The 73 year-old
Woodsfield man whose 20-year career in major league baseball brought him in
contact with some of the games's greatest players died in
Samuel (Sad Sam) Jones had been ill for three days and died
at 10:15 a.m.
Jones retired from baseball at the age of 43 following a career which took him
from the Zanesville team of the Interstate League in 1913 to fame
with the New York Yankees 10 years
later.
He started his climb after his release from the Zanesville Club following the
great 1913 flood which wiped out the ball. A year later, he spent in
Woodsfield, Jones was hired by a Portsmouth team and later
went to a Cleveland farm club for
his first major league break.
As a right handed pitcher he had a 2-8 record in 1915, but was traded to the
Boston Red Sox, where he compiled his best season,
23-16 in 1921.
Jones' claim to fame appeared Sept. 4, 1923 when he hurled a perfect no-hitter
against Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics.
Until 1927 Sad Sam was with the Yankees, then was traded to Washington,
Baseball greats were well-known to Sad Sam. The nickname was pinned on him by a
New York newsman, named Ford Frick, who though he always looked
forlorn despite his success. Jones called Ty Cobb "the greatest all - around
played I've ever seen."
He played the game along with Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Tony Lazzerri, Waite Hoyt, Cy Young and Mickey Cochrane.
A field oddity included seldom throwing pickoff balls to first base. In one five
year period, he never threw to first base once, and was later mentioned for
that in Ripley's Believe it or Not.
He always kept his hat on throughout a game and fans seldom got a look at his
face, which enforced the nickname given by a man who was to become commissioner
of baseball.
Sam was born July 26, 1892, in Woodsfield, the son of Delbert and Margaret Clingan Jones. Survivors include his widow, the
former Kerr; two sons, Paul,

Deputy Brown
Killed; Assailant Shoots Self
AZ Range News - Dec
11, 1969
Cochise County
Deputy Sheriff Leroy Brown, 38, was shot to death Saturday and his assailant later
died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Sheriff Jim Willson
said Brown was shot two or three times by Andres Griego, 20 of Bowie, at a
restaurant. Griego was taken to Tucson Medical Center following the slaying,
where he was pronounced dead from a gunshot wound to the head. His body was
found in a Bowie school yard.
Willson said Griego
has threatened Brown and and two other deputies following his arrest in August
for disturbing the peace. Griego spent 30 days in jail on the charge, and after
being released, went to Superior, AZ. Willson said Griego apparently did not
return to Bowie until Saturday.
The Sheriff said
Griego entered a restaurant where Brown was, apparently after seeing the deputy
sheriff there.
After entering the
restaurant, Willson said, Griego ordered a cup of "hot, hot coffee,"
Griego went over to the table where Brown and another man was seated and threw
the coffee in the deputy's face. As Brown got up, Willson said, Griego pulled a
.25 caliber automatic from a paper bag and shot the deputy in the face. Willson
said Griego shot Brown at least one more time, and may have fired a third shot.
Following the
shooting, the Sheriff said Griego fled the restaurant and ran some two blocks
to the city's high school where he shot himself.
A coroner's inquest
held after the shooting confirmed that the deputy had been shot and killed by
Griego.
Deputy Brown is
survived by his wife, Clarene Jackie Brown, Bowie; two sons: Jeff, 8; and
Todd, 4; his father, J.E. Brown, Westville, OK; and his mother, Mrs. Pearl
(Jones) Brown, Dos Cabezas. Also survived by sisters Jean, Joann, Sandra, and

Old-time members of the National Genealogical
Society will remember a tall, bald man in a Navy officer's uniform, whose smile
and hearty handshake exuded warmth and cordiality, and whose booming voice
infected his hearers with the same enthusiasm for genealogical research and for
extending the spheres of the influence of the society.
This was Ben F. Dixon, a native of Kahoka, Missouri,
and a long time resident of San Diego, California. It is with deep regret
that we received word of his death at his home, 6008 Arosa Street, San Diego,
on Saturday, 27 June 1970, at the age of 78.
In his adopted city he was Curator of the Junipero Serra
Museum in Presido Park, 1949-1955, and for 11 years taught history at Adult
Evening School. He started the Walking Tours of the Old Town. He
was a member of the Squibob Chapter of E Clampas Vitus, an organization founded
in the Gold Rush Days by men who like to mix history and fun. In 1968 on
a visit to Washington (D C), he addressed the Society on the historical and
genealogical work being accomplished in San Diego.
His publications included "Contributions of
Haiti to the Independence of the United States, 1776-1826" (1950), which
won an award from the Haitian Government; "Diario, The Journal of Padre
Serra " (editor; 2nd edition, 1967), and with Mrs Dixon, "Five
Generations of American Dwelles" (1960).
The Society extends its deepest sympathy to his
widow, the former Alice L. Dwelle; his sons Dale and John and his daughter Mary
Alice Six grand children also survive. Burial was in
Greenwood Mausoleum. Milton
