Mr. Yates, who will be permanently
' located at Pensacoia, volunteered for
"service, immediately upon declaration
of war, but failed to" pass the physi
cal examinations througTi nme minor
defect. Determined to aid his country.
he offered his services through the
training camp activities of the navy.
and arrived In . Pensacoia a Tew days
ago to assume his duties.
Mr. Yates, .who will have charge ol
all sports and athletics at the air sta-J
tion, was connected with the athletics t
of a number -of colleges and hlgn
high schools of this country. While a
student at St. John's Brooklyn, New
''York, he was prominent in college ath
. letics, and was later director at Swarth
more, as well as the New Rochelle High
, 'School,, and the Horace Mann School ot
New York City. .
:' For three years after leaving college,
, he played professional baseball, hav-j
. ing been at one time with the New York
1 Americans, and having also played
. with the Newarks (International) ancr
-several minor leagues. Mr. Yates has!
; filso engaged extensively in aquatic!
I mports, and at one time had as a cqm-j
- petitor C. M. Daniels, former champion,
swimmer. During college days he was
ralso noted at a basket ball and foot-:
.ball player, and for three years was
director of a boy's summer camp in
; New Hampshire.
Several of the New York capers have
carried very flattering notices of Mr J
, lales and his work, and he comes to
the Pensacoia station very highly reo-j
, ommended. I
-i In speaking of his plans for the ser
Tiice men yesterday, Mr. Yates said:
Nothing Js more necessary to the de
velopment of the men than directed
physical exercise, and it is proposed to
promote all athletic activities, swim
ming, baseball, basket ball, track meets
and boxing matches all to have their
place on the program.
"Thpr is nnthinor mnra Imnnrtant in
" the aviator than trained muscles mus
L clcs which quickly respond, and eyes
that are trained. Boxing bouts and
. baseballfl train the arm AT-i the eye to;
act qhiekiy and together.""
.'. Thcrejs a Tine recreation building at;
the Air fctntion, and the parade ground,
" now . in "process of completion, will
"mntc an admirable, athletic field. Ba-
fore entering the service of the navy,
' Mr. Yates was sales manager of the
V. K. Jahn Chemical Brokers, Import-
1 ers and Exporters, of New York City, j
Mr. Yates will be ably assisted by a.
champion gymnast and former athlete,
B. F. Moore. Mr. Moore is a fine
eriming-trark meet, 'to take place on
flrrnratinn rav.
MONSTER FISH IS
SEEN BY CROWDS
Captain Bennie Edmundson Saturday
afternoon stated that he would have t-a
make a contract with a lumber com-j
pany for new flooring material if Cap-!
tain Charles JI. Thomnsnn. thi prhihi-'
rtor of the big fish and other specimens
of deep sea life, stopped much longed
at his dock on the trim yacht Tamiaml.
Saturday morning Captain Thompson
..and his sea complement arrived in Pen
sacoia and at 10 o'clock had warped
at the landing of Captain Edmundson.
From that hour on there were con
courses of people to see one of the
wonders of. the ocean, a monster fish.
Just what it is scientists cannot tell.
The nastodon has been under the in
spection of experts of the national
museum at Washington, D. C.; also men
versed la fish lore attached to tlie bu
reau, of fish and fisheries at the nat
ional capital.- In fact one scientist of
the Smithsonian Instution mounted the
iisn, mat is after its life" was extinct.
Captain Thompson yesterday said it
was caught by accident in 1912 between
Miami and Key West, Florida, while he'
and a party of friends were trying to
hook tarpon. , The fish came to the sur
face of the water near the ouUng
party , and Captain Thompson threw a
harpoon at it. His aim was cond hut
he essayed more than he bargained.
For About thirty-nine hours the men
in his party were dragged. miles about
-the waters by this monster.. As an au-
dience there, was about 1,000 people,
at odd times, witnessing the struggle.
The fish was finally made captive
but life was about extinct. And the
fishingcrew was also about reaflv to
quit. j
The catch was landed and at the time'
the newspapers were filled with stories
about lt ; Skeptics would not believe
what they read. It was then that scien
tists of the Smithsonian Institute were
failed in and one of them mounted the
fish.
It Is well worth seeing. It has a
mouth large enough to swallow al of
the Jonah family, as far as the family
tree extends, going and coming. It is
well preserved and Its tongue would
rnake VMaggie" of "Bringing up
Father fame subside.
In connection with this fish is an
exhibit of sea life which Is interesting
snd instructive. The specimens are too
Minierous to specify.
Captain Thompson will be here until
Tuesday, when he goes to Mobile,
thene to New Orleans and up the Mis
sissippi River to the inland river land
ings. The fish and other attractions
can be seen from 10 o'clock in the
morning until 10 o'clock at night.
