This London-born caterer to crowds at racetracks, ball parks, and arenas began by
selling scorecards in Ohio. He moved to New York and won the right to sell scorecards
at the Polo Grounds, which led to handling all concessions. When the grandstand burned
in 1911, he advanced the money to John T. Brush to rebuild it. His company eventually
operated concessions from New York to Mexico.
