Fascinating, but tragic life

"In 1916, Miller began taking post-graduate medicine at Cornell University in New York City, becoming a specialist in skin diseases and cancer and later opened up his own practice.

Yet the truly remarkable life of Roy Oscar “Doc” Miller does not end on a happy note. Apparently despondent over the death of his wife Addie two years earlier, he died after jumping from a third–storey window on July 31, 1938, in Jersey City, N.J. He was only 55."

See: Doc Miller led an interesting yet tragic life by Jim and Lisa Gilbert, The Daily News. March 11, 2022.

"Maxwell Canarius, better known in the baseball world as Max Carey, made one of the queerest shifts on record when he entered college as a divinity student and left it to play professional baseball"

If you read between the scribbled Buck Barker lines, this is a fairly interesting writeup for the major leaguer who I believe lived longer than any other (passed away at age 107 in 1998). I like the line where it mentions that Hoff "is one of the few ball players who came straight from the lots to the Big Tent." I don't remember the major leagues being identified as the Big Tent...perhaps a circus reference?
