Claude Raymond Hendrix (April 13, 1889 – March 22, 1944) was a professional baseball pitcher who played in the National League for the Pittsburgh Pirates (1911–13) and Chicago Cubs (1916–20) and in the Federal League with the Chicago Whales (1914–15).  He pitched a no-hitter in 1915 and was the first pitcher to record a victory at Wrigley Field, then named Weeghman Park. In 1921, he was accused of tipping off a gambler to a possibly fixed game in 1920; an allegation that, while not proven, likely ended his career in baseball.

Biography
Hendrix was born in Olathe, Kansas.  His father was a banker who had also served as the Johnson County sheriff. In 1908, he attended and played baseball for Fairmount College, the predecessor to Wichita State University.  After college, he played for Lincoln in the Western League.  In 1909, he played for the Salina Trade Winners of the Central Kansas League.  He had a good season in 1910 with an independent minor league team in Cheyenne, Wyoming with a record of 17 wins and four losses with 208 strikeouts.

The season earned him a contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates for 1911. His second season in Pittsburgh was a breakout year where Hendrix, a spitballer, went 24-9 with a 2.59 earned run average.  As a 23-year old player, he was second in strikeouts, behind only Grover Cleveland Alexander and received a few votes for Most Valuable Player.  In 1913, his win–loss record was only 14-15, but he had a good ERA of 2.84 with 138 strikeouts.

In 1914, Hendrix sought an increase in his salary to $7,500 per season.  After manager Fred Clarke offered him a contract with a lesser increase, Hendrix failed to provide Pittsburgh with an answer and owner Barney Dreyfuss rescinded the contract and offered him one with no increase instead.  He instead sighed with the Chicago Whales of the new Federal League. On April 23, 1914, Hendrix pitched in the first game at Wrigley Field, now Wrigley Field and became the first pitcher to record a win in the stadium with a five-hitter against the Kansas City Packers. That season, he went 29-10 for Chicago, leading the league in wins, ERA and complete games.  On May 15, 1915, Hendrix pitched a no-hitter against the Pittsburgh Rebels, allowing only three batters to reach base on walks.  However, his 1915 campaign was more pedestrial with only 16 victories and a 3.00 ERA. Still, the Chi-Feds captured the Federal League pennant in 1915.

In 1916, Hendrix signed a contract with the Chicago Cubs in the wake of the Federal League's collapse. Hendrix started the first game for the Cubs at Wrigley Field, which Chicago won 7-6 in 11 innings.  His first two seasons in Chicago, he posted ERA of 2.68 and 2.60 but had an record of 18-28 as the Cubs struggled.

In 1918, the team and Hendrix had a resurgence. Hendrix went 20-7 with a 2.78 ERA and the Cubs won the National League Pennant.  Hendrix helped clinch the league title on August 24 winning the first game of a doubleheader against the Brooklyn Robins.  Hendrix did not start in the 1918 World Series against the Boston Red Sox, the first to feature Babe Ruth. The left-handed Ruth was notoriously tough on right-handed pitchers and the Cubs started only Hippo Vaughn and Lefty Tyler to try and hold Ruth in check.  In his only appearance of the series, he singled off Ruth and then was replaced by Bill McCabe aftger reaching second.

After the season, Hendrix went to work at a shipyard in Superior, Wisconsin.  The Secretary of War Newton D. Baker issued a "work-or-fight" order that required baseball players to work in essential industries during World War I for face the draft.  Baker allowed the baseball season to continue until September, after which, players like Hendrix had to begin working toward the war effort.

Toward the end of the 1920 season, Hendrix, who had a record of 9-12 with a 3.58 ERA, was scheduled to start on August 31 against the Philadelphia Phillies, who were in last place. The Cubs were informed that money had been bet heavily against the Cubs in that game. The Cubs replaced Hendrix with Grover Cleveland Alexander who lost 3-0.  With a grand jury investigating the Black Sox scandal in the 1919 World Series, the media paid great attention to rumors of potential game fixing.  The Kansas City Times reported that $10,000 had been wagered on Philadelphia in the game.  Immediately after the grand jury indicted the Black Sox, The New York Times reported that American League president Ban Johnson had obtained evidence against Hendrix regarding the Philadelphia game.  A Kansas City sportswriter, Otto Floto, learned of a telegram sent to a local gambler named H.A. "Frock" Thompson (which was misprinted as "Frog" by The New York Times) saying "Bet $5,000 on opposition" and claimed to recall that Hendrix had sent the telegram. Hendrix did not testify before the grand jury, but told reporters that he had never met Thompson and Thompson stated that he did not know Hendrix.

On February 7, 1921, Hendrix received his release from the Cubs.  The next day, Hendrix told reporters that he would no longer pitch in the majors, but would continue his career in semi-pro baseball back in the Midwest.  Cubs owner Bill Veeck stated that Hendrix's release had nothing to do with the allegations but was moving away from older veterans. Later articles did indicate that Hendrix was forced out.  Hendrix himself said that he had already planned to leave the Cubs after the 1920 season as he had a good job as a car salesman. later, Hendrix and his father purchased the Liberty Theater in Kansas City.

He continued to work in Kansas City until 1923 when his wife Mabel died.  The following year, he moved to Pennsylvania, playing baseball in Emmaus.  In 1924, Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis communicated that Hendrix was free to play baseball after fans of other teams called him an "outlaw".  He played for the Allentown Dukes with other former major leaguers.

Hendrix died on March 22, 1944 in Allentown, Pennsylvania at the age of 54.

Claude Hendrix
A tremendous all-around athlete who was one of the Deadball Era’s best at fielding his position, Claude Hendrix was a spitball pitcher who posted three 20-win seasons, each with a different team, en route to a lifetime 144-116 record and 2.65 ERA. With a batting average of .241, 13 home runs, and 97 RBIs over the course of his 10 seasons, the 6′, 195-lb. right-hander was also good enough with the bat to be used frequently as a pinch-hitter. Hendrix is best remembered today, however, for his apparent attempt at throwing a game in 1920, an event that spawned the investigation that eventually led to exposure of the Black Sox Scandal.
An only child, Claude Raymond Hendrix was born in Olathe, Kansas, on April 13, 1889. His father, Price, was a prosperous bank president who became the first Democrat to be elected sheriff of Johnson County. Refining his athletic skills under the tutelage of his father, Claude excelled in sports and eventually pitched in 1908 for Fairmount College, the predecessor of Wichita State University. Fairmount had a powerful baseball team while Hendrix was there, producing four players (including Hendrix) who went on to play professionally, and in one game that spring the collegians beat the Wichita team of the Western Association. Wichita became interested in signing Hendrix, but he ended up that summer with Lincoln, Nebraska, of the higher-level Western League, compiling a 6-5 record in 13 games.
In 1909 Hendrix moved down a few rungs on the minor-league ladder to Salina of the Central Kansas League, going 12-8 for a team that finished second with a 40-28 record. His breakout season came in 1910 when he pitched for an independent team in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Hendrix was 17-4 with 208 strikeouts and only 117 hits allowed in 204⅓ innings. Making the jump from semipro ball directly to the majors, Claude debuted with the Pittsburgh Pirates on May 11, 1911, and soon befriended Honus Wagner, with whom he often joined on business deals. Hendrix finished the season with a 4-6 record, but his 2.73 ERA and 85 hits allowed in 118.2 innings provided a hint of the performance that was soon to come.
In his first full season in Pittsburgh, Hendrix emerged as one of the National League’s premier pitchers in 1912, placing second in the NL in strikeouts (176) and leading the league in winning percentage with a 24-9 record to go along with a 2.59 ERA. He also was spectacular at the plate, hitting .322 with a .529 slugging percentage, which would have placed him second in the NL to Heinie Zimmerman if he had batted a sufficient number of times. Audacious enough at age 23 to hold out during spring training, Hendrix returned in time to put together another strong campaign in 1913, posting a 14-15 record with a 2.84 ERA and finishing second in the NL with 5.15 strikeouts per game. He even came in for praise from Pittsburgh society columnist Agnes Wedgewood, who described him as “single, and oh so handsome.”
Hendrix didn’t remain single for long. In January 1914 he married his childhood sweetheart, Mabel Wilson, settling down with her in Kansas City, Missouri. In part to be closer to his new wife, though a substantial pay increase undoubtedly affected his decision, Claude elected to sign that winter with the Federal League’s Chicago Whales, for whom he enjoyed the best season of his career in 1914. The 25-year-old spitballer led the Federal League in wins (29), games (49), complete games (34), and base runners per nine innings (8.6), and his 1.69 ERA was best in the league. Hendrix’s Chifeds lost both ends of a doubleheader in Kansas City in late September, however, and finished second to the Indianapolis Hoosiers. Things were reversed in 1915—Hendrix was a mediocre 16-15 with a 3.00 ERA despite pitching a no-hitter on May 15, and the Chi-Feds rallied at the end of the season to claim the last FL pennant.
The Federal League folded after 1915, and it appeared at least for a couple of seasons that so too had the once-promising career of Claude Hendrix. Joining the Chicago Cubs, a team that had fallen on hard times since its last pennant in 1910, Hendrix posted an 18-28 record over the next two seasons despite posting ERAs of 2.68 and 2.60. In fact his ERA actually rose to 2.78 the following season, but the Cubs turned around to win the pennant and Hendrix posted a 20-7 record to lead the NL in winning percentage. In the 1918 World Series, manager Fred Mitchell elected to alternate left-handers Hippo Vaughn and Lefty Tyler against the predominantly left-handed Boston Red Sox lineup. Hendrix was used as a pinch-hitter, singling in his lone plate appearance, and pitched the final inning for the Cubs in the sixth and last game of the Series.
Hendrix struggled over the next two seasons, going 10-14 with a 2.62 ERA in 1919 and 9-12 with a 3.58 ERA in 1920. He remained out of the spotlight until September 4, 1920, when the Chicago Herald & Examiner reported that the Cubs-Phillies game on August 31 had been fixed in favor of the last-place Phils. The newspaper revealed that Cubs President Bill Veeck Sr. had received six telegrams and two phone calls informing him that gamblers were wagering heavily on the Phillies. Veeck pulled the starting assignment from Hendrix, who had supposedly placed a bet against the Cubs with Kansas City gambler Frog Thompson, and replaced him with star pitcher Pete Alexander, but the Cubs ended up losing anyway, 3-0. A grand jury was convened on September 7 to explore not only the tainted Cubs-Phillies game but the entire issue of baseball gambling, and the focus quickly shifted from Hendrix to the 1919 World Series. The incident involving Hendrix was never resolved, but the Cubs nonetheless released him at the end of the season.
Claude Hendrix returned to Kansas City where he sold cars and played semipro ball. After his wife died in 1923, he moved to Pennsylvania to continue playing outside of Organized Baseball, first in Emmaus and then in Allentown. Hendrix purchased a successful restaurant in 1926 and lived in Allentown for the rest of his life, passing away of a cerebral thrombosis on March 22, 1944, just shy of his 55th birthday.

April 23, 1914: Chicago Feds open Weeghman Park, later known as Wrigley Field
The Federal League Kansas City Packers and Chicago Chi-Feds played the first game ever at Weeghman Park on April 23, 1914, to an overflow crowd of 21,000, much fanfare, and chilly weather. “Chicago took the Federal League to its bosom yesterday,” wrote Sam Weller in the Chicago Tribune, “and claimed it as a mother would claim a long lost child.”1 The ballpark’s capacity was 18,000, but Weller estimated that 3,000 more fans were standing in the back of the grandstand or on the field. Thousands more had to be turned away, but many took residence in windows and on roofs of nearby buildings.2
“Owners [Charles] Weeghman and [William] Walker of the north side club and President [James] Gilmore of the new league were so overjoyed with the spectacle that they almost wept,” Weller wrote, “and there is little doubt that it was an epochal day in the history of the national game.”3 Weeghman realized early on that his venue wouldn’t be big enough to accommodate the massive crowd, but longtime business manager Charles Williams, who spent 25 years in the Cubs front office, had everything working beautifully, “just as if the whole thing had been rehearsed.”4
All were met by a cold wind blowing in off Lake Michigan, but that didn’t temper the enthusiasm or pomp that followed. More than a thousand members of the North Side Boosters’ Club held a parade; the Bravo El Toro Club attempted to stage a bullfight on the field, but the bull refused to cooperate; members of the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic marched around the field with an American flag led by a band while players from both teams followed behind.5
Chi-Feds manager Joe Tinker, who served as the Cubs’ shortstop from 1902 to 1913 and would again briefly in 1916; his wife; and Weeghman were all presented flowers, and the latter was also given a silver loving cup. Corporation Counsel William H. Sexton threw out the first pitch in Mayor Carter H. Harrison’s absence and the game began.6
Taking the mound for the visitors was George Howard “Chief” Johnson, a Native American born on the Winnebago Reservation in Nebraska who attended the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania with Jim Thorpe, arguably the world’s greatest athlete at the time and a future major leaguer himself. Johnson began his career in the Class-A Western League in 1909 and pitched there until 1912, mostly with the St. Joseph Drummers, for whom he went 56-39 from 1910 to 1912.
Johnson’s 23-10 showing in 1912 caught the attention of the Chicago White Sox, who purchased his contract only to release him before Opening Day 1913, allegedly because White Sox skipper Nixey Callahan learned that Johnson was a Winnebago and members of that tribe were blacklisted because of their supposed affinity for alcohol.7
The Cincinnati Reds cared nothing for that rumor and signed Johnson. He made his major-league debut on April 16, 1913, against the St. Louis Cardinals and tossed seven shutout innings to earn his first win. Johnson went on to pace the Reds in almost every pitching category, including wins with 14. The New York Times described him as “fat” and “wooden,” but one who could “deal out ciphers with as much success as the more illustrious [Walter] Johnson of Washington.”8
The following season, 1914, Johnson made a start for Cincinnati on April 18 and lasted only four innings in an 8-5 loss to Pittsburgh. Then he jumped to the Kansas City Packers of the Federal League for a reported $3,000 bonus and $5,000 salary.9 When Johnson took the mound against the Chi-Feds on April 23, 1914, he did so despite an injunction issued by Judge Charles M. Foell that barred him from pitching for Kansas City.10
The Packers would have been better off had they obeyed the injunction as Johnson proved ineffective through two innings of work before he was served with papers and removed from the game. After setting Chicago down in the first, Johnson ran into trouble in the second. Center fielder Dutch Zwilling hit a double into the crowd, right fielder Al Wickland advanced Zwilling to third on a bounder in front of the plate, and second baseman Jack Farrell plated the first run of the game with a single to left. Catcher Art Wilson knocked in two more runs with a home run over the left-field wall and Chicago was out to a 3-0 lead.
In two innings of work Johnson allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while fanning one.11 Fellow Nebraska native Dwight Stone took the hill for the Packers in the third and issued a walk to Tinker and a single to first baseman Fred Beck. Zwilling poled another double to score the fourth run of the game and send Beck to third, but Stone escaped without further damage when Beck and Zwilling were both thrown out at the plate on subsequent plays.
The Chi-Feds struck again in the fourth when Wilson belted his second homer of the game, this one clearing the scoreboard in left and landing on Waveland Avenue. Max Flack slapped a one-out double into the crowd and Tinker followed a free pass to Rollie Zeider with a base hit that plated Flack to push the score to 6-0.
Then they added two more tallies in the sixth when Wilson drew a one-out walk, moved to second on pitcher Claude Hendrix’s single, and advanced to third on second baseman Duke Kenworthy’s error on a Flack grounder that filled the bases. Zeider drove in Wilson and Hendrix with a single to increase Chicago’s lead to 8-0, but Flack was caught in a rundown and Tinker grounded out to end the inning.
Meanwhile Hendrix, a 6-foot-tall spitball artist from Kansas, who made his major-league debut with the Pirates in 1911, then won 24 games for them in his sophomore season, was mowing down Kansas City batters with relative ease. Weller wrote that Hendrix “simply breezed through the combat without being in danger at any time.”12 Indeed, Hendrix surrendered only two hits through seven innings before allowing his only run in the eighth.
With an eight-run lead in the eighth Hendrix either got careless or started grooving pitches to try to put a quick end to the game. Catcher Ted Easterly led off the frame with a home run to left, and pinch-hitter Grover Gilmore and right fielder John Potts both singled. But a double play erased the threat and Hendrix was off the hook with only one run on his ledger.
Not to be outdone, the Chi-Feds added one more run to their total in the bottom of the eighth on a potentially dangerous play. Farrell singled, advanced to second on an out, and went to third on a passed ball. With Hendrix, a solid hitter, at the plate, Farrell broke for home in an attempted steal. Hendrix didn’t know it was coming and swung at the pitch. “Johnny tried to steal home, but just when he was about to hit the dirt Hendrix singled to center, so Johnny came in straight up,” wrote Weller.13
Hendrix was forced at second and Zeider tapped back to pitcher George Hogan to end the inning, then Hendrix shut the Packers down in the ninth to seal an easy 9-1 victory.
Postscript
Because of numerous injunctions in 1914, Chief Johnson didn’t start pitching regularly for Kansas City until late July. He went 9-10 with a 3.26 ERA and followed that up with a 17-17 showing in 1915 and a 2.75 ERA. He spent another three years in the Pacific Coast League before calling it a career. Concerns about alcoholism proved to be founded as he had several run-ins with the law and abandoned his wife. On June 12, a “drunk and belligerent” Johnson was shot to death in Des Moines, Iowa, over a gambling dispute.14 He was 36.

In 1916 , Hendrix signed a contract with the Chicago Cubs in the wake of the Federal League 's collapse .

Wrigley Field is one of the oldest and most hallowed major league ballparks in baseball. The home of the Cubs, previously called Weeghman Park (1914-20) and Cubs Park (1920-26), has witnessed countless moments of joy and heartbreak experienced by the club since it moved in in 1916.
Originally known as Weeghman Park, the 14,000-seat stadium was constructed in 1914 on a plot of land previously occupied by a seminary. The Federals (of the Federal League) inhabited the new ballpark, which was named after owner Charles Weeghman, for two years before the league folded. Weeghman then led a group that purchased the Cubs and brought them to Chicago's North Side.
On April 20, 1916, the Cubs made their Weeghman Park debut against the Cincinnati Reds. Prior to the game, a parade stretched from Grant Park downtown to the stadium, complete with brass bands and cars adorned with banners. Members of the Reds and Cubs, local politicians and Illinois Gov. Edward F. Dunne participated. Fireworks went off in center field when the American flag was raised, and a Lincoln Park zoo employee led a bear cub onto the field to do tricks at home plate.
The Cubs' home opener turned out to be a nail biter. Claude Hendrix took the mound for Chicago and gave up a single to Red Killefer on the first pitch of the game. Cincinnati went on to take an early 2–0 lead, but the Cubs answered by tying the game in the bottom of the first. Chicago scored again in the fourth when William Fischer hit a double with two out and later scored on Steve Yerkes's single.

In the top of the eighth, the Reds led 5–3 before adding an insurance run to seemingly ruin the Cubs' inaugural game at their new ballpark. However, Chicago wasn't out of it yet, and Heinie Zimmerman hit a game-tying double in the ninth to keep the team alive. With one out in the 11th, the Cubs' Cy Williams doubled to right field, and Zimmerman was intentionally walked before Williams scored the game-winning run off Vic Saier's line-drive single.
Since then, the ballpark has undergone several rounds of renovations but remains one of baseball's most cherished spots. In 1920, chewing gum manufacturer William Wrigley Jr. bought the franchise and renamed the stadium Cubs Park. Six years later, its name changed to Wrigley Field in honor of its owner. The ballpark's signature ivy on the outfield walls, bleachers and hand-operated scoreboard were added in 1937, and the Cubs started playing home night games after installing lights in 1988.

Hendrix went 20 - 7 with a 2.78 ERA and the Cubs won the National League Pennant .

Hendrix helped clinch the league title on August 24 winning the first game of a doubleheader against the Brooklyn Robins .

August 24, 1918: Cubs clinch fifth National League pennant in 13 years with doubleheader sweep
On August 24, 1918, the Chicago Cubs hosted the fifth-place Brooklyn Robins, who were 24½ games back of first place but had won nine of 15 games against the front-running Cubs. The second-place New York Giants were 10½ games out of first with a little more than a week left in the season and the Cubs were on the verge of clinching their fifth pennant since 1906. The 1918 season was scheduled as usual and teams were expecting to play the same 154-game set they’d been playing since 1904, but that would be interrupted by the United States’ entry into World War I.
On April 4, 1917, the US Senate voted in favor of President Woodrow Wilson’s request for a declaration of war against Germany. The House agreed two days later and the nation was effectively an entrant into World War I, triggered on June 28, 1914, with the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Two major factors finally helped Wilson convince Americans it was time to aid the Allies against the Central Powers. Germany reneged on an agreement to stop targeting US ships with their submarines, and its foreign minister sent a telegram asking Mexico to join it in the war in return for help regaining territory it lost to the United States in the Mexican-American War.1
Thanks to the Selective Service Act, which required men from 21 to 30 to register for military service, and 2 million volunteers, approximately 4.8 million soldiers were sent to Europe to fight the Central Powers. But General Enoch H. Crowder, the judge advocate general of the United States Army, wanted to ensure that every able-bodied man assisted in the war effort, so he issued a “work or fight” order on May 23, 1918, declaring that baseball was a “non-essential occupation,” and that baseball players had until July 1 to enlist in the military or get a job in a shipyard or defense plant. If they declined to do either, they would be inducted into the service.2
At the time of the announcement, the 1918 season was still young. The Giants had played 30 games, won 23 of them and held a four-game lead over the Cubs; the American League’s Boston Red Sox had played 31, won 19 and boasted a two-game edge over the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians.
In July, Secretary of War Newton D. Baker officially enacted the work-or-fight order and baseball had a problem on its hands. Washington Senators catcher Eddie Ainsmith lost an appeal of his draft eligibility on July 19 and was expected to join the military. Two days later AL President Ban Johnson ordered the league to cease its operations.3 But two coalitions that included Red Sox owner Harry Frazee, Washington Senators owner Clark Griffith, and all eight National League magnates persuaded Crowder and Baker to allow the season to continue until September 1 with the World Series to be completed by September 15.4
By the end of July, the Cubs had taken over first place in the NL, holding a 3½-half-game lead over the Giants, who had the only chance of catching them. The next closest team, the Pittsburgh Pirates, was already 11½ games off the pace and the rest were at least 16½ games back.
By mid-August the Cubs had stretched their lead to six games over the Giants and they extended it to eight with a doubleheader sweep over the Phillies on August 17 and a Giants loss to the Cincinnati Reds. Time was running out on John McGraw’s men and the hole was even deeper at the end of play on August 23, when the Giants sat 10½ games off the pace with a little more than a week left in the season.
All the Cubs needed to do to clinch the pennant was take both games of a doubleheader against Brooklyn at Chicago’s Weeghman Park on August 24. The first step was easier than it should have been against pitcher Burleigh Grimes, who had won 10 consecutive decisions, including nine starts. But Chicago rolled to a convincing 8-3 win in the first tilt behind a 15-hit attack led by Charlie Picks’ three safeties, and a nifty outing by Claude Hendrix, who earned his 19th win against only six losses. The second affair pitted Cubs rookie hurler Speed Martin against veteran right-hander Larry Cheney.
Martin had made his season debut on August 3 and was making only his third start of the season and fifth of his young career. In his first six appearances, three as a reliever, the six-foot righty was brilliant, going 3-1 with a 0.68 ERA, and had just tossed a three-hit shutout against the Boston Braves five days earlier. He also helped secure a 3-2 win over the Giants with an inning of scoreless relief just a day before.
Cheney, on the other hand, was in his seventh full big-league season. Having debuted on September 9, 1911, the spitball artist threw 10 scoreless innings for the Cubs in a cup of coffee before taking the NL by storm in 1912 with a league-leading 26 wins. He won at least 20 games in his first three seasons, going 67-42 from 1912 to 1914, but his days of dominance were all but over by 1918, and he was 11-11 with a slightly-worse-than-league-average 2.83 ERA going into the August 24 contest.
Just as it had in game one, Brooklyn struck first, this time with a run in the top of the third. Catcher Otto Miller doubled, Cheney moved him to third with a sacrifice bunt, and Miller came home on a wild pitch. It could have been worse had Pick not made a “spectacular stab” of Jimmy Johnston’s line drive that saved Martin from another base hit.5 Johnston had also been robbed of a hit in the first game when center fielder Dode Paskert made a nice running grab on a shot destined for extra bases.
Losing a second hit in as many games was too much for Johnston and he lost his composure. “This peeved Jimmy so much,” wrote the Chicago Tribune’s I.E. Sanborn, “that he threw the ice water pail out of the Robins’ dugout and made them all go dry the rest of the day.”6 Unfortunately Brooklyn’s bats also went dry and they didn’t score the rest of the day, either. Meanwhile, the 32-year-old Cheney was channeling his younger self and had a shutout going until the bottom of the seventh, when the Cubs plated two to take the lead.
Fred Merkle, the former Giant who helped the Cubs win the 1908 NL pennant with a baserunning blunder that earned him the nickname “Bonehead,” followed a Paskert out with a free pass, then tied the score at 1-1 on a Pick two-bagger to left. Pick scampered to third on a wild pitch and, after Cheney retired Charlie Deal for the second out, Brooklyn manager Wilbert Robinson ordered an intentional walk to catcher Bill Killefer.
Killefer was a weak-hitting catcher with a .229 career average going into the 1918 season, who was hitting .220 on August 18 before he left the team for a fishing trip near his boyhood home in Paw, Michigan. But he was an outstanding defensive catcher, prompting Sanborn to quip, “If [Killefer] is as good at catching fish as baseballs there are some vacant ‘homes’ in the depths of Paw Lake.”7
The Cubs backstop was 1-for-2 with a strikeout against Cheney in his two previous at-bats and the even more anemic Martin was on deck, making Robinson’s decision easy. But Killefer spoiled the strategy when he offered at ball four and “pickled” it for a single over second, “driving in the run that would have been enough to win.”8
Chicago added a run in the bottom of the eighth for good measure and the 3-1 victory earned the Cubs their first pennant since 1910. “As nearly as can be doped out of the tangle produced by the curtailed schedule,” waxed Sanborn, “the Cubs drove the ultimate spike into the 1918 National league pennant yesterday. … The McGrawites cannot play enough games to catch up even if the Cubs lose the rest of their own battles.”9
Indeed. The Cubs went 84-45 in the abbreviated season and finished 10½ games ahead of the Giants before losing the World Series in six games to the Boston Red Sox.

But if you’re wondering how the fourth ball was close enough to hit, consider that Cheney led the National League in wild pitches six times in nine seasons and walked over 100 men in a season three times, including a league-leading 140 in 1914.

The United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC) was a political party founded in 1947 whose aim was to bring about Ghanaian independence from their British colonial masters after the Second World War. The United Gold Coast Convention appointed its leaders to include Kwame Nkrumah, who was the Secretary General. However, upon an allegation for plans against Nkrumah's leadership, he was arrested and jailed. The UGCC leadership broke up and Kwame Nkrumah went on a separate way to set up the Convention People's Party (CPP) for the purpose of self-governance.

History
In the 1940s, African merchants, such as George Alfred Grant ("Paa Grant"), were ready to finance the organization of a political movement to assure their commercial interests in the face of unfair colonial practices. The party was founded by J. B. Danquah on 4 August 1947 by a combination of chiefs, academics and lawyers,Birmingham, David, Kwame Nkrumah: The Father of African Nationalism (revised edition), Ohio University Press, 1998, p. 13. including R. A. Awoonor-Williams, Robert Samuel Blay, Edward Akufo-Addo, and Emmanuel Obetsebi-Lamptey.

On 10 December 1947, Kwame Nkrumah returned to the Gold Coast, accepting Danquah's invitation to become the UGCC General Secretary. Big Six member Ebenezer Ako-Adjei recommended inviting Nkrumah, whom he had met at Lincoln University. Nkrumah was offered a salary of £250, and Paa Grant paid the boat fare from Liverpool in England to the Gold Coast.Birmingham, David, Kwame Nkrumah: The Father of African Nationalism (revised edition), Ohio University Press, 1998. Danquah and Nkrumah subsequently disagreed over the direction of the independence movement and parted ways after two years. Nkrumah went on to form the Convention People's Party (CPP) in 1949 and eventually became the first president of independent Ghana. There was a meeting between Nkrumah and members of the party which occurred in Saltpond, a town in Central region. It was said Nkrumah rejected a proposal for the promotion of fundamental human rights.

The UGCC performed poorly in the 1951 elections, winning only three seats.  The following year, it merged with the National Democratic Party and disaffected members of the CPP, to form the Ghana Congress Party.

Nkrumah went on to form the Convention People 's Party ( CPP ) in 1949 and eventually became the first president of independent Ghana .

There was a meeting between Nkrumah and members of the party which occurred in Saltpond , a town in Central region .

Sekou Nkrumah
Son of late President Kwame Nkrumah, Sekou Nkrumah, has lambasted the Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Aaron Mike Oquaye, for his recent comments on founders of Ghana.
He emphatically asked the Speaker to stop “spewing nonsense.”
Delivering a public lecture in observance of the Founders Day on August 4, 2020, the Speaker of Parliament said the Independence of Ghana was not gained through a one man show.
According to him, all the founding fathers of Ghana deserved to be honored and not former President Kwame Nkrumah alone.
Prof. Oquaye said emphatically that
“Independence was not a one man show, it was a collective effort.”
He urged that It is important to appreciate all the ingredients that made this beautiful melody.
According to him, although Kwame Nkrumah fought immensely for independence, he was not alone in the independence struggle.
The Speaker also noted some weaknesses by Nkrumah and the efforts made by other members of the Big Six to improve the foundations of Ghana.
Key among Nkrumah’s weaknesses, he said, was his disregard for fundamental human rights and capitalism.
August 4th was enacted by the Parliament of Ghana as a public holiday in accordance with the public holidays (Amendment) Act 2019, (Act 968).
The day is to celebrate the Founders of Ghana and afford Ghanaians an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices of their forebearers in the fight for independence.
Activities for the day are also expected to encourage others to commit their lives to sacrifice for the nation.
The Speaker recounted a meeting between Nkrumah and members of the UGCC in Saltpond in the Central Region where he said Nkrumah rejected a proposal for the promotion of fundamental human rights.
But Sekou Nkrumah has reacted to the claims from the Speaker.
He stated that despite the that the independence struggle was started before his father it was his father who gave the struggle the momentum and direction it needed for the realization of the Independence Ghanaians enjoy today.
According to him, if Prof. Oquaye wants to criticize his late father, he should talk about the one party system and the Preventive Detention Act (PDA) introduced during his time.
However, in another separate social media comment, Sekou blamed Former President, late Prof. Mills for all the raging debates surrounding the celebration of founders day.
According to Sekou, the late Prof. Mills failed to invite persons of the Danquah and Busia tradition to serve on the committee that oversaw the celebration of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s centenary anniversary.
This according to Sekou, accounts for the debates surrounding the founders day.

Job wrapping is a term used commonly to describe a process by which jobs can be captured from employer website and posted to the job boards that the employer wants to advertise them.

Corporate recruiters and HR professionals who send job listings to multiple Internet employment sites can sometimes delegate those chores to the employment sites themselves under an arrangement called "job wrapping". Job wrap ensures that employer job openings and updates get wrapped up regularly and posted on the job boards that they have designated.

The term "job wrapping" is synonymous with "spidering", "scraping", or "mirroring". Job wrapping is generally done by a third party vendor.

Job wrapping is a term used commonly to describe a process by which jobs can be captured from employer website and posted to the job boards that the employer wants to advertise them .

Job wrapping or job scraping is the process of copying jobs from employer sites or ATSes, converting these jobs to the required format and posting resulting vacancies to a job board database.
Job spider technology downloads (scrapes) all or selected jobs, extracts job content from vacancy pages’ HTML source code, cleans up and improves job content, converts job data into an XML or other job board friendly file format, and synchronizes automatically via recipient job board API.

Just to confirm: Indeed.com prohibits spidering of its content and they will block anyone trying to scrape it.
Normally, our clients ask us to spider jobs from direct employer websites and ATSes.
In some cases we can spider commercial job boards: if there is a formal agreement between our client and the job board to allow spidering.

Chip Conley (born October 31, 1960) is an American hotelier, hospitality entrepreneur, author, and speaker.

Early life and education
Conley was born in Orange, California and graduated from the PACE program at Long Beach Polytechnic High School. He received his BA in 1982 and an MBA in 1984 from Stanford University. Holds an honorary doctorate from Saybrook University.

In 1987, Conley founded Joie de Vivre Hospitality, where he held the position of CEO for nearly 24 years, creating and managing around 50 boutique hotels. In 2010, he sold his company to Geolo Capital."Hyatt Heir Checks Back Into Hotel Industry", The Wall Street Journal, June 7, 2010 The last hotel concept he created for the company was The Epiphany in Palo Alto. Conley remains a private owner in many hotel properties and no longer has an operating role in the company.

Conley spoke at the annual TED conference in 2010 on creating a business model driven by our need for meaning as outlined by Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs and as presented in his book Peak: How Great Companies Get their Mojo from Maslow. Conley's other books include The Rebel Rules: Daring to Be Yourself in Business; Marketing that Matters: 10 Practices to Profit Your Business and Change the World; Emotional Equations: Simple Truths for Creating Happiness + Success in Business + in Life; Wisdom@Work: The Making of a Modern Elder.

In 2013, Conley became Head of Global Hospitality and Strategy for Airbnb. and founded Fest300. At Airbnb, he was asked by the three co-founders to help evolve the company into a hospitality company with more than one million hosts in 191 countries. Conley worked closely with CEO Brian Chesky as a mentor and helped to build a bridge to the travel, hotel, and real estate/development/landlord industries. He also conceived and led the annual Airbnb Open. In 2017, he transitioned to the role of Strategic Advisor for Hospitality and Leadership.

In 2016, Fest300 was acquired by Everfest, with Conley joining the Everfest leadership team as Chief Strategy Officer on a part-time basis.

In 2018, he founded the Modern Elder Academy (MEA), the world's first "midlife wisdom school" in Baja California Sur. This  oceanfront campus is dedicated to helping students reimagine midlife as a time for learning, growth, and positive transformation through immersive workshops, sabbaticals, and digital programs. Modern Elder Academy focuses on Long Life Learning, and is a mission-driven organization committed to socio-economic diversity, having provided scholarships to 50% of their 2,000 alumni. Graduates receive a certificate in Mindset Management.

In 2021, Modern Elder Academy acquired Saddleback Ranch in Northern New Mexico and set out to grow a collection of MEA Regenerative Communities. Each community will include a MEA wisdom school, residences and a regenerative farm.

Community activism
Conley founded San Francisco's annual Celebrity Pool Toss fundraiser, which has raised millions for inner city families in San Francisco's Tenderloin District, where Conley's first hotel, the Phoenix, is located. He also created the annual Hotel Hero Awards that recognize the work of line-level hospitality staff. He served on the Glide Memorial Board for nearly a decade, as well as the boards for the Burning Man Project and the Esalen Institute. He now serves on the board of Encore.org and the advisory board for the Stanford Center for Longevity.

Chip Conley: The Power of "Noble Experiments"
The founder of Joie de Vivre Hotels, discusses leadership, his bad first job, and the best business book he's ever read.
Chip Conley (MBA ‘84) is the founder of Joie de Vivre Hotels, California’s largest boutique hotel collection, which includes more than 30 properties. Joie de Vivre Hospitality, the parent company of Joie de Vivre Hotels, oversees a collection of restaurants, spas, and affiliate hotels, and operates on a revenue run rate of $240 million a year. Conley was CEO of JDV from its founding in 1987 until 2010. He is the author of four books, including Emotional Equations: Simple Truths for Creating Happiness and Success and The Rebel Rules: Daring to Be Yourself in Business. Conley travels the world to speak about business and leadership, and gave 100 speeches in the first half of 2012.
Far from retirement, Conley is building a new hotel in Palo Alto dubbed “The Epiphany,” set to open in 2013, as well as an 1,100-acre wellness center in Todos Santos, Mexico, on the Pacific ocean. A director of Burning Man, an annual event held in the desert and centered on art, self expression, and self reliance, he is developing a website aimed at helping people find the perfect festival for them, whether that means The Running of the Bulls in Spain or a Whirling Dervish festival in Turkey. Leading up to our interview, Conley said he had just returned from a weeklong silent meditation retreat. “All my answers will be in Haiku,” he says.
In 10 words or fewer, what is the big idea behind your business?
Pose as
boutique hotelier
instead create
identity refreshments
What is the best advice you’ve ever received?
Oscar Wilde said, “Be yourself, everyone else is taken.” Most businesses benchmark themselves versus others and don’t imagine how they could be transformative and disruptive. About 10 years ago during the dot-com bust, I chose to use Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs as an evolved business model for how JDV would operate. There was no evidence that anyone else had ever done that before. It was well suited for my personality. The idea of applying a psychology theory to a fundamental business model was sort of weird but it helped us triple in size when many others went out of business.
What was the most difficult lesson you have learned on the job?
My most recent lesson was The Great Recession. Fundamentally in work, there are three relationships: You either have a job, a career, or a calling. For 22 years my calling was the founder and CEO of Joie de Vivre and growing it to the second-largest boutique hotelier in the U.S. A calling can deflate so that it becomes a career and then a job. When the calling starts to deflate, the anesthetic wears off.
The most difficult time in my career was in 2008 and 2009 when it became extremely apparent to me that what had been a calling was now merely a job. It came at a time when I had to work 100 hours a week and had to act as if it was a calling. To be the CEO of a company means if you have 3,500 employees, as we did then, you are under the microscope. Your emotional state of being is magnified. I felt embarrassed and guilty that my state of mind — and my state of heart — for the company was not there when it needed to be. That is one reason I decided to sell a majority interest in my company to an investor who didn’t mind me stepping out of the business.
The lesson was that vulnerability can be very powerful. We say we want leaders to be authentic, and we want them to be strong. But being vulnerable and confident at the same time is a powerful combination.
What advice would you give other entrepreneurs on how to build a great business?
I’m a huge believer in Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. What brings a sense of meaning for your stakeholders? What creates a transformative, self-actualized experience for your customers? How do you create pride of ownership for your investors? Remember, we are all human. If you are a good reader of emotions you will be successful wherever you are.
What inspires you?
For a long time it was being an incubator for entrepreneurs. JDV was a place where someone who was an entrepreneur and wanted to start a spa or restaurant or hotel could come and join us and learn the business, and then move on to do their own thing. I like entrepreneurial people — they want to learn, and while they are with us, they are very engaged. I took great pleasure in watching people I mentored go out and start their own businesses. One guy was a felon who had been in state prison for two years. He joined us as a front desk clerk, grew to be an office manager, then assistant manager. After 10 years he started his own valet parking company. He got funding from Obama’s stimulus act and was invited to the White House and The Today Show. We took a chance on a felon who grew up in the Mission and helped him become a young icon for entrepreneurship in America.
What is your greatest achievement?
Having a 35-year-old son as well as a six-month-old son.
What do you consider your biggest failure?
I like to consider failures “noble experiments.” For me it was Costanoa, a luxury campground between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz in California. It was an inspired idea but the execution was challenging and the location was challenging. We sold it after three years for a fraction of what we spent to build it. We did learn unique ways to deliver service in a remote location.
How do you come up with your best ideas?
Running on the beach with my dog, Sugar Ray. For some reason more ideas come to me when I am near water — even taking a bath. I just did a weeklong meditation retreat. Freeing up the mind is a good way to get to inspiration. We fill our lives with so little space. Inspiration looks for crevices to parachute into. The fewer crevices you create in your life, the less likely you are to have inspiration come through you. You need to allow yourself to be a vessel so that something can come through you.
What values are important to you in business?
You can see who’s most powerful in a society based on who has the tallest buildings. Two hundred years ago it was cathedrals. Fifty years ago it was a government building. Today, in most urban areas, the power rests with business and skyscrapers. Business is the most powerful influence in the world today. Fifty-four of the 100 most powerful entities in the world today are companies, not countries. That means it is that much more important that businesses take a conscious capitalist perspective to make a difference in the world. I’m a big believer in that on a global level. Businesses are finally asking, what is our ecological footprint? I also believe businesses need to look at their emotional fist print on their employees.
Our work is the most predominant use of our time. We spend more hours in our working life than our family life. Yet for many people their working life leaves an emotional fist print as if they’re getting punched. It creates anxiety, anger, and a sense of being abused. That can have a contagious effect on their family, friends, and everybody around them. How do we measure that? Fifty years ago we had no idea we could measure our ecological footprint. How can we start measuring and managing what’s most important in life?
What impact would you like to have on the world?
I’m proud and honored that I am seen to be a thought leader at the intersection of psychology, philosophy, and business. If I can help the business world think a bit more broadly and consciously, that would be a great impact to have on the world.
What was your first paying job?
McDonald’s, when I was 15. I made milkshakes and made sure the fries didn’t burn. They treated me like a robot. I hated it. I lasted about five weeks.
What is the best business book you have read?
Man’s Search for Meaning, by Viktor Frankl. It influenced my perspective on how to create meaning for employees and how to create culture in my organization.
What businessperson do you most admire?
Herb Kelleher, who was the CEO of Southwest Airlines for 37 years. He created an enduring culture. He believed that most businesses had gotten it wrong: They love techniques and use people, as opposed to vice versa. I admire the organization he created, against all odds. The airline industry is treacherous.
What do you think is the greatest innovation in the past decade?
The internet is more than a decade old. However, there is no doubt that the internet as a disruptor, connector, and way of life is profound.

Question: what position did conley hold at joie de vivre hospitality

Answer: CEO

In 2013 , Conley became Head of Global Hospitality and Strategy for Airbnb .

Conley is the founder of the boutique hotel company Joie de Vivre with 52 boutique hotels who sold a majority of his company about two years ago.
In the new role, Conley will head hospitality and help Airbnb hosts to improve experiences for travelers and be better hosts. Conley is instituting an online training program to help host through online webinars. People can learn how to create better experiences through what will essentially be "elearning" classes.
Conley is focusing on nine standards for all Airbnb hosts, such as cleanliness, time responding to travelers on the site, and accuracy of listings. "I'm a big believer in the best thing to do to manage the expectations of guests is to create standards. That's things that guests can count on--like soap."
Other standards: fresh linens on the bed, towels, and toilet paper. These are basic things that will make all Airbnb's meet basic minimum expectations for travelers. The idea is not to make Airbnb's like hotels. In fact, Conley says Airbnb's are popular because of their focus on personalization and uniquely local experiences. "We want hosts to understand that the more we create unique experiences and the more localized experience it is, the more we meet the needs of guests," Conley says.
These improvements may take away one factor that could scare some people off from using Airbnb if they are used to hotels--that staying in someone else's house could mean the awkwardness of actually living with someone. Instead, these standards should make staying at anyone's home pleasant and easy, with basic standards of a hotel, while maintaining the quirkiness and uniqueness of an Airbnb.
In the future, Airbnb hopes to create classifications for listings, such as categories for business travelers, or for families, or for romantic travels, Conley says. That will make it much easier for people to sort through listings and find what they want, especially in popular cities such as Paris or New York City that have many listings. In order to do that Airbnb needs to gather and sort through data from the hosts and travelers about their homes or apartments.
Conley is also overseeing a new Airbnb Hospitality Innovation Lab based in Dublin, Ireland to test new services and features. The lab is located there because Europe is currently the company's biggest market, Conley says.
Airbnb now has more than 500,000 listings and has passed 8.5 million total guests who've stayed at an Airbnb--which is up from 4 million at the start of 2013.

In 2021 , Modern Elder Academy acquired Saddleback Ranch in Northern New Mexico and set out to grow a collection of MEA Regenerative Communities .

Saddleback Ranch near Galisteo will became a boot camp for dealing with middle age — or, as new owner Chip Conley puts it, a “midlife wisdom school.”
Conley and co-founders Christine Sperber and Jeff Hamaoui launched the Modern Elder Academy in 2018 in Mexico. On Jan. 8, they purchased nearly 2,600 acres of Saddleback Ranch’s 3,250 acres for $8.5 million.
They selected the Santa Fe area as the location for the academy’s first U.S. expansion after considering 20 other places around the country — from Napa Valley, Calif., to Austin, Texas, to the Berkshires in Massachusetts.
“We’re excited about the Northern New Mexico area,” Conley said by phone from the academy’s Baja California Sur campus. “We just love the diverse nature [of people] of New Mexico. Nature is a part of our teaching program.”
The Modern Elder Academy will occupy prime real estate; Saddleback Ranch last sold in 2008 for $17.45 million.
Several factors enabled Conley to buy Saddleback for “half the price of the 2008 sale.” The previous owner, Dan Silvestri, a Houston-based shopping center magnate, put it up for an Oct. 14 auction with no minimum bid through Platinum Luxury Auctions.
Several bidders asked for more property details, which postponed the auction. Several parties, including Conley, subsequently made offers without the auction ever taking place.
The 2008 sale price was based on planned development that never happened, said David Ashcroft, managing director at Platinum Luxury Auctions.
“[Silvestri] felt like the luxury auction process successfully exhausted the market’s options, thus making MEA’s offer the ‘highest and best’ the market would bear,” Ashcroft said.
Modern Elder Academy, organizers say, will tap into Santa Fe’s DNA.
“Santa Fe is a place people go to reimagine themselves,” Conley said. “We are a regenerative community. We could have more than one location in Northern New Mexico.”
Conley plans to renovate the ranch’s existing four homes and clubhouse. The 7,264-square-foot Drogheda house and 2,800-square-foot Chamisa house will be used for academy workshops. The 6,103-square-foot Windland house and a fourth house will be sold to people wanting to live at Saddleback.
Conley intends to build additional buildings for the academy as well as 20 to 30 homes to be sold as residences. He has enlisted Santa Fe-based Regenesis Group, a regenerative development firm, Santa Fe-based AOS Architects, and Santa Fe-based land planning and landscape architecture company Surroundings. He expects to open the local Modern Elder Academy in early 2023 and have homes ready to sell six months to a year later.
Conley launched the Joie de Vivre boutique hotel chain in 1986 at age 26 with a hotel in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood. He owned 52 hotels over the years and sold the company to Geolo Capital in 2010. Geolo sold the chain in 2018 to Hyatt Hotels Corp., which rebranded Joie de Vivre as JdV, currently with 19 hotels — eight California properties and 11 more in Chicago, Baltimore, New York, China and Sweden.
“To be honest, going through the dot-com bust, 9/11 and having the Great Recession, I was tired,” Conley said. “I was 50 and ready for something new.”
That took him to Airbnb as head of global hospitality and strategy.
“I was 52. Most of the company was 26,” Conley recalled. “I was helping them take their idea and go mainstream. I was the house mentor. At Airbnb, they called me the modern elder.”
That led him to write the book Wisdom at Work: The Making of a Modern Elder, published in 2018. He bought a house about 30 miles north of Cabo San Lucas in 2017.
“On a run, I had a Baja aha moment,” he said. “Why don’t we have a school to help people going through the transitions of life? I built the [Modern Elder Academy] campus around my house. I had the house about a year before we opened.”
Conley started pondering midlife as he had his own midlife transition.
“It became clear to me,” he said. “I had five friends who committed suicide. Why don’t we have a way to help people going through the transitions of middle age?”
That was what Conley, Sperber and Hamaoui launched in 2018. Conley described the academy’s opening year as a “huge success. It was a validation.”
“I wish my friends who committed suicide could have gone through this program,” he said.
The academy offers one-week workshops, with the most popular focusing on life transitions.
“How people are going to go through professional transitions, relationship transitions — divorce, empty [nest] transition, losing parents,” he said. “[There are] people who want to shift their professional life.”
The Modern Elder Academy’s definition of midlife is age 35 to 75.
“Midlife today starts earlier and lasts longer,” he said. “People are living longer. The organization leadership is moving younger and the world is changing faster. You can’t just pay your dues. You have to renew yourself. [The old way is] you learn until 25 and earn until 65. Now you may want to get a master’s degree at 40.”

We are getting ready for one of San Francisco’s hottest young professional events, the 6th Annual GLIDE Legacy Gala! An evening filled with music and dance honoring change agents who are dedicated to improving the lives of poor and underserved communities, San Francisco will come out and celebrate a 51-year legacy of love, leadership and community as exemplified through the legendary work of GLIDE’s Co-Founders Rev. Cecil Williams and Janice Mirikitani.
Three innovative individuals will be honored during the GLIDE Community Hero Award Ceremony, and this year’s winner of the Cecil Williams Legacy Award is… Chip Conley! “Chip formerly served on the GLIDE Board of Trustees, he provided strategic and experienced wisdom. A person of all seasons, Chip reaches deeply into the heart and soul of the human condition,“ shared Janice Mirikitani. Rev. Cecil Williams added, “His leadership is brilliant and bold, courageous and compassionate, and radically inclusive of all cultures. He walks that walk!“
Chip Conley is the Founder and former CEO of Joie de Vivre Hospitality, he began reinventing hotels in San Francisco at the age of 26. His first — the Tenderloin’s iconic Phoenix Hotel — turned into the 2nd largest boutique hotel brand in America. Author of four books, including PEAK and The New York Times bestseller, EMOTIONAL EQUATIONS, Chip shares his theories on transformation and meaning with audiences around the world. In 2013, he launched Fest300 — connecting his passion for travel, culture, and the world’s best festivals — and he joined Airbnb as Head of Global Hospitality & Strategy where he’s teaching his methods to hundreds of thousands of hosts in nearly 200 countries. Chip received his BA and MBA from Stanford University, and holds an honorary doctorate in psychology from Saybrook University. A former longtime board member at GLIDE, he currently serves on the boards of Youth Speaks, Esalen Institute and the Burning Man Project.
One of today’s most influential entrepreneurs in the business of hospitality, disruption, emotional intelligence and culture, we invited Chip to share his GLIDE story and answer our #TopFive burning questions.
How did you first hear about GLIDE? What is your “coming to GLIDE” story? How would you describe your relationship to GLIDE and how has it changed over the years?
At age 26, I bought a bankrupt, pay-by- the-hour motel at Larkin and Eddy Street. The Caravan Lodge was notorious for being full at lunchtime even though it had no restaurant. My dream was to develop a “crossroads for the creative” in the rough and tumble Tenderloin and we named it The Phoenix, since this mythological bird represented the “rising from the ashes” I was hoping to create plus it’s, incidentally, the official city bird of San Francisco. Soon after moving into the neighborhood, I heard about GLIDE as a crossroads for community representing all of San Francisco. My first experience was sneaking in about 9:10 am one Sunday morning and sitting in the last row of the balcony in spring 1987. I was in a state of awe based upon the “love bubble” I found there and over the next year, I moved from the back to the front of the balcony and then to the floor. Then, I started bringing employees and friends there, volunteering, and ultimately joining the Board. One of the proudest days of my life was giving two sermons at GLIDE in 2012. GLIDE has inspired me to find my internal phoenix, the place I go inside myself to resurrect my spirit when I’ve hit a rough patch.
Cecil has said, “I live my life like jazz music. As long as I’ve got my melody, I can improvise, extemporize, be spontaneous and intuitive. I may have a theme, but I can change and go in any direction, and have the freedom to experience every person and situation as they are and not as I want them to be. There is no one way to live your life as long as you are authentic.” What does living an authentic life mean to you?
Oscar Wilde once wrote, “Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.” Wise advice and Cecil has been quite the role model. Authenticty = Self-Awareness x Courage. Many of us spent our youth honing our ability to listen to our external antennae but having no tuning fork for listening to what’s inside. We get so obsessed with looking good that we forget what it means to be real. Adult life can be an emotional archaeological dig as we break through the identities we’ve created for ourselves that aren’t simpatico with that improvising jazz musician inside of us. Carl Jung suggested that, at some point in our middle years, “the glowing coals of consciousness buried deep within the personality begin to break into flames” and this is when many of us feel some kind of midlife crisis. That’s when the courage needs to kick-in. Self-awareness without courage means that you know who you are but the rest of the world doesn’t. The Latin root of courage means “heart.” It takes a passionate heart to march to your own drummer, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Living a fulfilled life is living an authentic life.
Can you share with us your views and approach to philanthropy and social engagement? What values do you hope will be carried on to the next generation?
It’s all about transformation. Over the past fifteen years, I’ve chosen to be a Board member on four non-profits that are changing the world. GLIDE changes lives and makes the Tenderloin a safer, saner place plus it’s a true role model for what a 21st century church can be. Burning Man and the Esalen Institute are about personal transformation leading to societal transformation. Youth Speaks teaches transformation to our disenfranchised youth through spoken word, a subject that is dear to the heart of our Jan M. I’ve given my time and money to organizations that create a ripple effect in the world. And, I’m very encouraged that a new breed of social entrepreneurs are showing young people that they can integrate business principles into social missions.
You introduce many audiences and go in great depth into concepts of cultural curiosity and collective effervescence. You have shared, “Change doesn’t just start with an idea, it starts with curiosity,” how do you inspire audiences to go beyond their daily individual experiences to open themselves up in a meaningful way to the unknown and unfamiliar?
I went to Snoop Dogg’s high school, Long Beach Poly (although I’m a few years older), and they called me “curious white boy.” I’m so fortunate to have had that upbringing as it taught me how life-affirming curiosity can be. Curiosity is the fertilizer of the mind and soul and it’s the key to creativity. In the context of my life, I started the website Fest300 to introduce people to the 300 best festivals in the world because the more digital we get, the more ritual we need. Whether it’s going to a whirling dervish festival of Sufi Muslims in Konya, Turkey or the Brooklyn Hip-Hop festival, I’ve found that cultural curiosity turns “the other” into my mentor or friend. Unfortunately, during midlife, many of us don’t have time for curiosity. But, please make time. Curiosity has proven to be correlated with resilience and happiness, both personally and societally.
Our core values emerge from GLIDE as a spiritual movement. They are rooted in empowerment, recovery and personal transformation. Our values inspire and guide our behaviors, they are the ground we stand on. Below, please find our core values, is there one particular core value which strongly resonates with you personally and why?
I guess it’s not surprising that a guy who called his company Joie de Vivre (joy of life) would resonate with GLIDE’s value of Celebration. The fact that the Sunday services are called “Celebrations” says it all. We spend our lives in the cocoon of our egos doing everything we can to separate ourselves and we end up feeling isolated in the process. GLIDE creates a collective effervescence that melts that separation and a communal joy emerges in its place. The next thing you know, you’re dancing in the aisles, hugging your neighbors, and realizing that we spend way too much of our lives in a non-celebrating culture or in an unhealthy celebrating culture that numbs us with alcohol and narcotics, the Super Bowl and Miss America. “We sing. We dance. We laugh together. We celebrate life.” Sign me up for that!
We have a four day countdown until the 6th Annual GLIDE Legacy Gala! Tickets are available at http://glide.org/legacygalatickets. See you on Saturday!
