not immediately follow in his father's and grandfather's footsteps in joining the Marine Corps. It appears he was very active in the
Columbia Sports Club and, being one of the best tennis players in Washington D.C., was eventually elected president of the Southern Lawn Tennis Association. Regrettably, I can't find any information on those two organizations outside of old newspaper articles, so I don't know if it would be useful here. Just putting this information out there in case anyone is interested in expanding this article.

801:. Page. 63 discusses McCawley's direct appointment (in that it was not the norm at the time). There seems some confusion, though. In the text of this article it is said that McCawley (junior) was appointed the day after his father retired, and implied that that was in 1897 (based on the preceeding paragraph in which it is stated that McCawley junior held the Chief Clerk position from 1881-1897). However, according to the father's article (

862:, it states, "Colonel McCawley has two fine sons, one of whom assists him in the clerical duties of the colonel commandant's office." I glossed over that at first. It makes a bit more sense now. McCawley junior was very active in tennis circles prior to 1891, and considered one of the best players in the area. Being Chief Clerk may have been something he did to help earn his keep at the
805:), the senior he retired and died in 1891. The Simmons citation seems to confirm McCawley junior's appointment was in 1897 and that it was after his father's death (the posthumous comment), so I guess either the date of death for McCawley senior is wrong, or the source that says that Junior was appointed the day after his father retired is wrong. Might be something to look into. —

884:. Note the year - 1897. Apparently, the appointment was urged by none other than then Commandant Heywood. I also ran across McCawley senior's obituary earlier, which confirmed he died in 1891. So there was a six year gap. I haven't done any research on junior between 1891 and 1897, so can't confirm any activity with the Marine Corps after his father's death.

I have been researching old newspaper articles, trying to find out more about
Charles' younger brother William. There is a lot of varies sources out there indicating Charles' significant skill in Tennis, and his involvement in popularizing the sport in the 1880s. It helped explain for me why he did

indicates in fact that McCawley was the
Quartermaster General of the Marine Corps. This might be a worthy addition to the article, as it seems to improve the subject's claim for notability. I have no knowledge of Marine Corps posts, though, so I could have it wrong, but it would seem that
