Louis Tracy (1863 - 1928) was a British journalist, and prolific writer of fiction. He used the pseudonymGordon Holmes, which at times was shared with M. P. Shiel, a collaborator from the start of the twentieth century.
Gordie, or Gordon, is now the father of Warren Stevens, former flying wing and quarter-back, the most talked of football player of the year 1931, now the well known coach for the teams at Toronto University.
Gordon was a self-educated man. He loved sports, and surely, if he had had the opportunity, he might have been a sports star himself.
Gordon Stevens was a 33rd Degree Mason at the Salt Springs Lodge in Syracuse.
Despite a transient dyslexia, Holmes was a brilliant scholar and after completing his education as a boarder at Dundalk academy, he entered Trinity College, Dublin, and graduated in medicine in 1897, at the age of 21 years.
Holmes was a resident at the Richmond Asylum, but soon after qualification he worked his passage to New Zealand, serving as ship's surgeon.
Holmes therefore returned to London and became a resident medical officer at the National Hospital for Nervous Diseases in Queen Square, under John Hughlings Jackson (1835-1911), the doyen of British neurologists.
