Intimate Visits to the Homes of Famous Film Magnates [ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 51 ] nine, where he played first base with distinction and made fame as a batter. "Pooch" Donovan, the celebrated Harvard coach of the time, had only one basic difficulty in the training of the batting of Mr. Kennedy, and it was very basic. The athletic young man, while admittedly broad in the mind was even broader in the hips. He declined to slide bases in the required fashion, because of a combination of reasons which included the impersonal law of gravity and intimately personal considerations of anatomy. He preferred not to meet the surface of Soldiers' Field so abruptly. Donovan kept Kennedy late after practice one afternoon to argue the matter with him. DONOVAN carried with him a very large heavy towel of rough texture, borrowed from training quarters. Kennedy was set at bunting balls and running down to first. The able Donovan stood down the base line, towel in hand. As Mr. Kennedy ran past, Donovan flicked the towel in the manner of a bull whip, addressing its biting cracking end with great accuracy at that portion of the athlete's anatomy which he wished to bring into intimate and speedy sliding contact with the line approaching first base. The effect of this treatment after the first three runs was like magic. In a flash Kennedy dropped neatly into a graceful sliding position, which protected the point of incidence from that keen cutting towel, while he completed his journey feet first.

After the customary ritual of commencement and cap and gown exercises in Harvard Quadrangle, Mr. Kennedy resumed his study of the habits and habitat of the American dollar, now in the obscure job of examiner on the staff of the Massachusetts bank commissioner. All the while he was learning things about money — and about men and money. Then jol is began to come his way and in 1914 he was elected president of the Columbia Trust Company of East Boston. Kennedy was then twenty-five years old. A flood of publicity about "the youngest bank president in the world" started, but he promptly sidestepped from that, with a certain sagacity which told him thatwhile the story might make a headline it would not make a bank. KENNEDY became a banker in January. 1914. That same month a number of other things happened, most important of which was a certain dancing party of the Ace of Clubs, a Boston social organization formed by the then Miss Rose Fitzgerald, daughter of former Mayor James T. Fitzgerald, more widely known as "Honey Fitz." It appears that Mr. Kennedy danced a considerable number of dances with Miss Fitzgerald that evening, also many sub
