The history of the Scottish Abbey
Duke Henry II Jasomirgott made Vienna the residence of the Babenberg Territory. To give the new capital more importance, he summoned 1155 Irish monks from the Scottish monastery of St. Jacob in Regensburg to Vienna. The Latin term "scoti" in the Middle Ages referred all the Gaels, but primarily the inhabitants of the island of Ireland. The new foundation was intended primarily as a place of prayer, but also as a place where pilgrims and guests could be welcomed, an asylum seekers shelter (the name "Freyung" - the sanctuary for the persecuted - still recalls this) and a center of cultural life.
In the years up to 1200, outside the then city limits, a mighty Romanesque church was built, which was much larger than the present one; the eastern part of the Romanesque church extended about 25 meters beyond the eastern wall of today's church. In 1200, church and monastery were consecrated by the Passau Bishop Wolfger von Ellenbrechtskirchen. Already in 1276, however, a large part of this laboriously constructed facility fell victim to a fire. Earthquakes in 1348 and 1443 once again left traces of destruction behind. In the middle of the 15th century, a new monastery building was built.
In 1418, the era of the Irish monks ended, as they were encouraged in the course of the Melker monastery reform due to the increasingly sparse offspring of monks to include locals in their ranks. The Irish, however, preferred to return to their mother's abbey in Regensburg. However, the name "Scots" remained until today.
The fundamental redesign of the Scots Abbey dates back to the 17th and 18th centuries. In 1648, today's church was completed, and in the following decades, the monastery complex was completely rebuilt. Decisive in these buildings was Abbot Carl Fetzer (1705-1750). Today's "Schottenhof (Scots court)" was redesigned under Abbot Andreas Wenzel (1807-1831) by the architect Josef Kornhäusel.
The intensive study of science and the close ties to the University of Vienna, which was founded in 1365, already led to an increase in the book inventory in the times of the Irish monks, but even more so in the aftermath. Although only fragments survived in the Abbey Library from the early days of the monastery, the number of medieval manuscripts and printed books continued to increase in subsequent centuries. As part of the redesign of the monastery under Abbot Andreas Wenzel a new library hall was built.
In 1807 it came on imperial desire to found the Schottengymnasium (Scottish Gymnasium), which took up the old school tradition of the house on the Freyung and should continue. The prestigious school has become a major work area of the monks.
The two world wars survived the Scottish Abbey as a whole by and large, but for the Convention itself they caused great damage, be it the economic hardships after the First World War or the great personal bloodletting in the years 1939 to 1945. Numerous brothers fell in the war or did not return, the gates of the Gymnasium were closed from 1938 to 1945.
The Second Vatican Council also brought the Scottish Abbey to a new reflection on the peculiarities of monastic life and the tasks that a Benedictine community can and should undertake in today's world.

Die Geschichte des Schottenstifts
Herzog Heinrich II. Jasomirgott machte Wien zur Residenz des Babenberger-Territoriums. Um der neuen Hauptstadt mehr Bedeutung zu geben, berief er 1155 irische Mönche aus dem Schottenkloster St. Jakob in Regensburg nach Wien. Der lateinische Begriff „scoti“ bezeichnete im Mittelalter alle Gälen, vorrangig aber die Bewohner der Insel Irland. Die neue Gründung sollte in erster Linie eine Stätte des Gebetes sein, dann aber auch ein Ort, an dem Pilger und Gäste Aufnahme finden konnten, eine Zufluchtsstätte für Asylsuchende (der Name „Freyung“ – die Freistätte für Verfolgte – erinnert heute noch daran) und ein Zentrum kulturellen Lebens.
In den Jahren bis 1200 entstand außerhalb der damaligen Stadtgrenze ein mächtiger romanischer Kirchenbau, der um einiges größer war als der heutige; der Ostteil der romanischen Kirche reichte um etwa 25 Meter über die Ostwand des heutigen Gotteshauses hinaus. Im Jahr 1200 wurden Kirche und Kloster durch den Passauer Bischof Wolfger von Ellenbrechtskirchen geweiht. Bereits 1276 fiel jedoch ein Großteil dieser mühsam errichteten Anlage einem Brand zum Opfer. Erdbeben in den Jahren 1348 und 1443 ließen abermals Spuren der Zerstörung zurück. In der Mitte des 15. Jahrhunderts entstand somit ein neues Klostergebäude.
Im Jahr 1418 endete die Ära der irischen Mönche, da ihnen im Zuge der Melker Klosterreform aufgrund des immer spärlicher werdenden Nachwuchses an Mönchen nahegelegt wurde, auch Einheimische in ihre Reihen aufzunehmen. Die Iren zogen es aber vor, in ihre Mutterabtei nach Regensburg zurückzukehren. Der Name „Schotten“ blieb jedoch bis heute erhalten.
Die grundlegende Neugestaltung der Schottenabtei fällt in das 17. und 18. Jahrhundert. 1648 wurde der heutige Kirchenbau vollendet, in den folgenden Jahrzehnten hat man auch die Klosteranlage von Grund auf verändert. Entscheidenden Anteil an diesen Bauten hatte Abt Carl Fetzer (1705–1750). Der heutige „Schottenhof“ wurde unter Abt Andreas Wenzel (1807–1831) durch den Architekten Josef Kornhäusel klassizistisch neu gestaltet.
Die intensive Beschäftigung mit der Wissenschaft und die engen Beziehungen zur 1365 gegründeten Wiener Universität führten schon zu Zeiten der irischen Mönche, mehr noch aber in der Zeit danach zu einem Anwachsen des Buchbestands. Zwar haben sich in der Stiftsbibliothek aus der Anfangszeit des Klosters nur Fragmente erhalten, doch nahm die Zahl der mittelalterlichen Handschriften und gedruckten Bücher in den nachfolgenden Jahrhunderten ständig zu. Im Zuge der Neugestaltung des Klosters wurde unter Abt Andreas Wenzel ein neuer Bibliothekssaal errichtet.
1807 kam es auf kaiserlichen Wunsch zur Gründung des Schottengymnasiums, das die alte Schultradition des Hauses auf der Freyung aufgriff und weiterführen sollte. Die angesehene Schule ist zu einem Hauptarbeitsgebiet der Mönche geworden.
Die beiden Weltkriege hat das Schottenstift gebäudemäßig im Großen und Ganzen zwar heil überstanden, für den Konvent selbst brachten sie aber großen Schaden mit sich, seien es die wirtschaftlichen Nöte nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg oder der große personelle Aderlass in den Jahren 1939 bis 1945. Zahlreiche Brüder fielen im Krieg oder kehrten nicht mehr zurück, die Tore des Gymnasiums blieben von 1938 bis 1945 geschlossen.
Das Zweite Vatikanische Konzil brachte auch für die Schottenabtei die Neubesinnung auf die Eigenarten des monastischen Lebens und die Aufgaben mit sich, die eine benediktinische Gemeinschaft in der Welt von heute übernehmen soll und kann.

My first attempt at one of the challenges in the Assignment 52 group.
I've never really been into the beatles but I listened to one of their albums today for some inspiration and I loved the lyrics to 'Paperback Writer'.
My first thought for this image was of a dusty old typewriter with a stack of books but unfortunately I didn't have one of those to hand!
I decided to drag the shutter a little to bring a bit of motion blur to my hand. Is is a bit weird with one hand? I don't know but two blocked too much of the keyboard. It doesn't look like much but I took about 6 frames to get to this, tweaking the composition a little each time!

Lots and Lots of books I read between October 14th and November 19th.
Admittedly, lots of Manga (the base of this pile), but I discovered two very cool Mangaka: 浅田いにお (thanks to S) and 高浜寛 (thanks to Y!)
This month's recommendations are:
- Alain de Botton: On Love - after all, I have read this about four times... ^_^; have now even read the Jpn translation...
- Jon McGregor: If nobody speaks of remarkable things - almost perfect! what a great book!
- 浅野いにお ソラニン 1, ソラニン 2 どんなに切なくても、恋がしたくなる!
any recommendations on your side?

God of Wings
Description: Urbanus is a genus of butterflies in the order Lepidoptera, subdivision Bombycina, superfamily Papilionoidea (still being called Hesperioidea by some entities), family Hesperiidae and subfamily Eudaminae. They possess a wingspan of approximately 38-48mm, averaging at, seemingly mostly, 46mm. The subject portrayed is SEEMINGLY a male, but there are no guarantees on this information as it is based on very tiny visual details and I might be mistaken.
Synonyms to this taxon include:
Goniurus procne (Plötz, 1880)
Teleus procne.
The larvae are polyphytophagous.
According to Cesar of Insetologia, the identification is suggested as U. procne because:
"All should occur in the Ceará state (www.biotaneotropica.org.br/v11n4/pt/fullpaper?bn019110420...), I can't discard anything from here;
U. simplicius' (www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/urbanus_simplicius_live1.htm) highlight seem to be due to the patterns on the second pair of wings;
In BugGuide (bugguide.net/node/view/1379402/bgimage), someone comments about a clearer mark beneath the club of U. teleus (www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/urbanus_teleus_live1.htm), differentiating them from U. procne (www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/urbanus_procne_live3.htm), which in your specimen seems absent;
I could also note the same trait of U. teleus in U. tanna (www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/urbanus_tanna_live.htm), not being, however, evident in all specimens;
In U. tanna, the fringe of the second pair of wings is more highlighted, more clear, which merges with the previous characteristic indicating this is a U. procne." - www.insetologia.com.br/2018/09/borboleta-urbanus-no-ceara...
They are located from Argentina, North through Central America and Mexico to Southern Texias. Strays can be rarely found up to Southern New Mexico, Southern Arizona and Southern California. They have a very wide distribution in Brazil, South America.
U. procne possess brown wings. The forewings possess two thin, longitudinal white stripes, the one distal from the body being shorter. Scent scales on the costal fold on the leading edge of the forewings are characteristic to the males. The brown spot close to the costa is separated from the inner stripe on the underside of the hindwings. Adults are tailed. Eggs are laid by the female on the host plants; when born, the larvae will feed on the leaves. When young, the larvae will live in a nest made of a folded leaf. Larvae are green with a reddish "neck" and a large dark head, varying in a darker coloring throughout instars and can reach around 35mm by the last instar. When older, the larvae are red-brown with a finely stippled white and broken white mid-dorsal line. The head is large with a constricted "neck" and narrow pronotum. They will hide during the day on the base of the plant and will feed during night. The pupa is made inside a loose cocoon, hidden and camouflaged in leaf litter. (books.google.com.br/books?id=qMwOAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA32&...)
The pupa is dark brown and can be found here:
www.thedauphins.net/brown_longtail_life_cycle_study.html
Eggs are rounded and whitish-yellow. The egg-adult process takes around 40 days.
In Southern Texas there are three broods throughout the year. Host plants include Cynodon dactylon ((L.) Pers., 1805) (Poaceae: Chloridoideae: Cynodonteae) ("Bermuda grass"), Sorghum halepense ((L.) Pers.) (Poaceae: Panicoideae: Andropogogoneae: Sorghinae) ("Johnsongrass") and most of the Gramineae family.
Their habitats include grassy openings in tropical and subtropical primary or secondary forests. The species is suffering decline in the lower Rio Grande Valley, requiring security, monitoring and conservation. Seemingly, they are not under threat due to their very wide distribution, but they are rare in some of those areas like and, especially, the periphery.

The KOM League
Flash Report
For
Week of March 6-12, 2016
Released March 3, 2016 on Flickr—Final Version March 5, 2016
This report is comprised of input from two members of the KOM league, in 1949, and then how that was expanded into voluminous paragraphs of text that went back into the 19th century. I trust the historical portion of this report will be of some interest to a few people who weren’t alive in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. For either posterity or prosperity this Flash Report will remain under the photo located at the following site: www.flickr.com/photos/60428361@N07/25215914406/
Last week the photos of Sal Nardello and Jack Chatham were posted. Fourteen times as many people pulled up the Nardello photo than that of Chatham. This next week I trust Chatham can do some catching up.
Question regarding from previous Flash Report.
John, was Jack Chatham from St. Louis? Seems like I remember playing against a Chatham in St. Louis. Bob Mallon—1949 Independence, KS Yankees. Now a resident of Highlands Ranch, Colo.
Ed reply:
He was from North Carolina. You are probably thinking about Jack Cheatham who was from St. Louis. He played for Miami, OK in 1951.
Ed comment:
There was a time I used to write books and various places of business would ask me to sign copies so as to increase business for them. Many times those book signings were for me to sit and ponder such things as “Why did I write this thing?” And the businesses would ask a similar question—why did we bother inviting this guy?”
In early 1996 I was camped out in front of one of those 60-minute photo places hoping to sign a book or two. I think that I did as two people showed up. One was a former teammate of Bob Mallon’s, Bob Newbill from nearby Windsor, MO. Ask I spoke with Newbill another person came to the book table and said he had made the trip from Gulf Breeze, Florida for the purpose of purchasing a book and furthermore had played in the KOM league. I was old enough by then to know when my leg was being pulled. As it turned out the fellow was William Jack Cheatham who was visiting his family in St. Louis and took a detour on the way home to Florida to get a book. He and Newbill had a great time talking about the past and they became the only two people who showed up for the big signing.
For the next few months I heard from Cheatham on a regular basis and he even shared a great scrapbook from his time with the 1951 Miami club. Then, almost a year to the day later his wife called to tell me Jack had passed away. He died on June 29, 1997. He was born in St. Louis on January, 30, 1931. Sixty-six is awfully young and far too soon to leave your family and friends.
___________________________________________________________________________

The face of the last Flash Report
In the previous Flash Report Sal Nardello, who played shortstop for the 1949 Pittsburg, Kansas Browns, was featured. I told him that people would be clamoring for their personal copy of that photo. That formed the basis of the largest article in this report.
From Nardello
John: Most of the people who are calling me for a print of that 8 by 10 picture you posted have told me they would buy one except that my uniform is too dirty. If Nonie Baker had had it washed, even once during the 1949 season, I might have become a rich man. If it does happen I will be glad to send you a commission based on the sales. Thanks for the advertisement.
Ed reply:
Did you ever get the feeling Nonie Baker would have loved to have run that whole operation even down to managing the club? Don't let me influence your answer since I never met the guy. However, I heard a lot of comments about him even meeting his granddaughter many years after his death.
Nardello’s reply:
It’s funny you should mention Nonie Baker wanting to manage the club. He was in his box seat at every game I can remember right behind first base and from shortstop I was looking almost directly at him and he very often was waving to all us infielders to move here, go there.
Kind of reminds me of when I was 12 or13 years old going the 8 to 10 miles over the bridge to Shibe Park and seeing Connie Mack who would sit in the Philadelphia Athletics dugout in his business suit, tie and straw hat doing the same thing with his score card back in the 1940's.
Philadelphia had both the A's and the Phillies back then and boy did I get to see some great players from both leagues for only fifty cents and a doubleheader on Sunday to boot.
I think you're right, Nonie would have loved to have managed the team. I guess the St Louis Browns wouldn't let him or he probably would have.
Ed reply:
There is a site that I found that had Nonie Baker managing a team in Pittsburg amateur baseball back to 1914. Here is a link to it with photos: www.pittsburgksmemories.com/Pittsburg_Parks/pittparksspor...
(Special note to Pittsburg State University football fans. The Carnie Smith listed as a member of Nonie Baker’s 1936 amateur team was the same guy who now has the football stadium in Pittsburg named for his coaching exploits.
I know Nonie Baker was in his late 60's when you knew him. He was the bookkeeper for a coal company in the area. Possibly, it would have been better stated that maybe he wanted to tell the manager in charge of the team how to run his ball club. I know that happened in other places. Woody Fair said that when he managed Carthage a local postal worker was on the board of directors and he wanted to meet with him regularly to talk about the "direction" of the team. Woody said that he wasn't meeting with anyone on how to run his ball team. He didn't last the season and wound up back in the Carolina league where he had played the previous year with the Durham Bulls and was the league's MVP.
I've often wondered if Baker was the reason for so many managerial changes at Pittsburg.
Nardello’s reply:
Where do you get this amazing stuff? By the way, yes, I think Nonie Baker had a lot to do with the managerial changes and I also think he had a whole lot to do with the players coming and going.
Ed reply:
I found some old editions of the Pittsburg newspaper on the Internet. Too bad none from the 1940's and 50's are on there.
Now, the rest of the story: And it is rather long so take it in small doses and read the URL’s to gain maximum understanding
With the mention of Nonie Baker, the business manager for the Pittsburg Browns, it opened a more extended conversation with Sal Nardello and a whole lot more research about baseball being played in Southeast Kansas in the early 1900’s. As it turns out Baker managed games that featured players such as Walter Johnson who by that time was a resident of Coffeyville and Peter John Kilduff who was a local boy born at Weir and lived in Chicopee and Pittsburg where he died in 1930 of appendicitis. His parents migrated to the United States from England, in 1886, first settling in Chicago, Illinois where they had two children by then. They later moved to Weir, Kansas where they had eleven more, including Peter John. Peter’s grandparents were from Ireland. They came to America with the rest of the family. The grandparents also settled in Chicago before going to Weir, KS. Some of the Kilduff family who went to Weir and later returned to Chicago. All of those dying in Chicago were buried in Pittsburg, KS. So, any of the family members who went back to Chicago most likely saw Pete play second base for the Cubs or when he came to the Windy City as a member of the Brooklyn Robins.
On December 24, 1954 Edward Prell, of the Chicago Tribune, penned a story about Santa Claus coming early to “Little Pittsburg” and hooking up cable to Kansas City so the residents there could see the World Series and major bowl games the coming New Year’s Day. archives.chicagotribune.com/1954/12/25/page/20/article/sa... In the article he made mention that 35 years earlier the local sports fans had to settle for watching Walter Johnson and his catcher Mack Wheat play against local players after the regular professional players returned home at the close of the season. Wheat was the brother of the more famous ballplayer in the family, Zack. The Wheats were born and raised within fifty mile radius of Central Missouri where this report is written each time it appears on your computer screen. I even got to know some members of that family who live around Camdenton. But, I digress, which is par for the course. Here is the Google link on Mack Wheat so pick what you wish to read and/or ignore. www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&am...
Gaining the lion’s share of coverage in the Pittsburg newspaper, among all the ballplayers, was Peter John Kilduff. Depending on what source you believe, Kilduff was born on April 4. In either 1893 or 1894. On his Selective Service form he placed the year of birth as 1894. You can check it here, along with his signature if you subscribe to Ancestry.com. interactive.ancestry.com/6482/005250439_03764?pid=3093370... If you don’t subscribe the form shows he signed it on May 26, 1917 in New York City and listed his occupation as “Baseball player NY Baseball Club Polo Grounds, NYC”. At that time he listed his residence as Chicopee, KS and in the section for proclaiming any physical problems he signed the form with “Part of finger off.”
Believe me, this story is going somewhere but I have to milk it for all its worth for I don’t have much else to share in this report. The story of Kilduff’s life can be summed up as short and tragic. When searching through “Find A Grave” there are multiple sites that list him being born in conflicting years and buried in apparent different cemeteries.
Example #1—
www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=156201...
Example #2
www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=127583...
The apparent different cemeteries are located in the same area. Highland, St. Mary’s and Hobson are under the general care of Highland and are separated only by dirt roads running through the 36-acre final resting place. This explains how Kilduff got credit for being buried in two cemeteries. www.pittsburgksmemories.com/Pittsburg_Cemeteries/pittceme...
In one of the Find A Grave citations it shows that Kilduff married Elizabeth McManus after the 1920 World Series concluded. Two years later their first and only child, Virginia, was born. Two years from that Elizabeth passed away at the age of 26. With baseball still his occupation Virginia was raised by her maternal grandmother, in Pittsburg.
Kilduff last played in the big leagues in 1921. Then, the same year his wife passed away, he played in the Pacific Coast league. He was there from 1922-26. He played part of the year with Minneapolis in 1926 and ended his career by playing for Shreveport, LA in 1927-28 and as the player/manager for Alexandria, Louisiana of the Cotton States league, in 1929. He returned to his Southeast Kansas home for the winter months before passing away at the youthful age of 36. He was to have been the manager of Alexandria again in 1930 but died shortly before spring training began. This link depicts Mt. Carmel Hospital where Kilduff died. www.pittsburgksmemories.com/Pittsburg_Medical/pittmedical...
In a three year stint, in the PCL, Kilduff was consistent. He had 204 hits two years in a row and 205 the third season.
Now, I’m getting closer to revealing the reason for this long article. In the mid-1990’s I received a telephone call from Don Gutteridge. Baseball fans of today would classify Gutteridge as an old-timer. But he was born in 1912. By 1920, when Kilduff came back home after playing in the World Series, Gutteridge was an eight-year old, wide–eyed baseball fan.
When Gutteridge called me, around 1995, he revealed he had inherited a huge box of old autographed baseballs that had a lot of ties to the KOM league. He said he had thought about it and the only person who came to mind who might want them would be me. Smart guy that Gutteridge. When those baseballs arrived I was blown away by the number, variety and pristine condition of each one. There were like-new KOM balls from the first year of operation to baseballs signed by old St. Louis Browns and Detroit Tiger teams of the 1930’s and early 1940’s along with a number signed by former big league umpires. With each unwrapping I was as happy as a pig in a mud wallow. There were baseballs that didn’t fit the KOM mold. One baseball I came upon was stitched in red and black thread. The signatures included: Leon Cadore, Burleigh Grimes, Zack Wheat, Rube Marquard, Ed Konetchy and many more including Pete Kilduff. Immediately, I knew I was looking at an old baseball and determined shortly thereafter that it was a team ball signed by the National league champion Brooklyn Robins, in 1920.
At that point I called Gutteridge and told him he had probably shared something with me by mistake. He insisted he knew what was in the collection he had sent and wanted me to keep it. In looking at that ball over the intervening years I often wondered how it had found its way to Pittsburg, Kansas. Well, it was brought home by Pete Kilduff and given to Don Gutteridge who kept it for about 75 years before sharing it with me. Gutteridge was great about sharing. Visiting in his home on one occasion he took me into his baseball room. His collection was one of the most fabulous I had ever seen. At that point in the 1990’s he had on display one of a kind articles, autographed, of every top name in baseball covering a period from 1900 to 1960. He had things like autographed catcher’s masks of great catchers including the one his first cousin, Ray Mueller, wore when he broke the record for the most consecutive games played for a catcher.
Since Gutteridge was responsible for Pittsburg being sponsored by the St. Louis Browns I feel like this is a legitimate story to share in a KOM publication. A fitting end to this story would to have been to speak with Kilduff’s only offspring. However, Virginia married and took the last name of Gerwert. Her husband was in the wholesale meat business for a number of years. They later moved to Altoona, PA where Virginia died in 1984. A search for her offspring, born as late as 1957, indicates that they too are deceased. So, about all I have to remind me of Pete Kilduff is that 1920 Brooklyn Robins baseball. I wonder if it has any value?
At the time of the death of Don Gutteridge an article was penned by the same guy writing this Flash Report. Checking around the Internet I found that it had been picked up and posted at this site: It elaborates on the promise he made to Pittsburg baseball officials to bring the Toledo Mudhens to Pittsburg to play the local Browns team in an exhibition game. Great story, really. Read it here. rturner229.blogspot.com/2008/09/kom-newsletters-addresses...
Some newspaper accounts of Pete Kilduff from newspapers in the area where he was born and died;
www.newspapers.com/image/?spot=77187&fcfToken=6c61507... The aforementioned URL was from the January 18, 1921 Joplin Globe For those of you who can’t or won’t pull up the article this is what it reported. “John Kilduff father of Pete Kilduff, second baseman of the Brooklyn National league club, died at his home tonight after a lingering illness lasting several months. Mr. Kilduff was born in Manchester, England in 1853.” The death was listed as occurring in Pittsburg, Kansas.

Wednesday, May 17, 2006 – Pittsburg Morning Sun
What are the odds? If you were a gambler, what would be the odds that three men from Weir City, Kan., would become major league baseball players before 1920? Pete Kilduff, Joseph Kelly, and Joseph Morris, a.k.a. Joseph Bennett, were born in this southeast Kansas town with a small population of 3,091. These three were born within seven years of one another.
Joseph Kelly was born Sept. 23, 1886 and died Aug. 16, 1977, in St. Joseph, Mo., at the age of 91. In 1909, he started out playing for local teams in Pittsburg, Scammon, Frontenac, and later Wichita, Kan. He played professionally for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1914 as an outfielder. He then played with the Chicago Cubs in 1916 and went on to play with the Boston Braves until 1919.
Kelly played and managed for several minor league teams following his pro career. From 1921-1925, he was with the San Francisco club of the Pacific Coast League. Probably his best seasons were in 1922 and 1923, when he batted .336 and .348, while being the lead-off batter for the San Francisco Seals. During those years, he and Pete Kilduff were teammates and represented Weir City in a respectable fashion. At the end of 1925 season, Joe returned to the Western League with Omaha where he played, until he became a manager for the first time. He managed the St. Joseph team and later that year, the franchise was transferred to Amarillo, Texas, where he went until he returned to Missouri and retired as manager of the St. Joseph team.
The second player was Pete Kilduff, who was born April 4, 1893 and died Feb. 14, 1930. His career began in 1914 in Oklahoma City, where he played for the minor team there for two years. In 1916, he played for the Omaha, Neb., team and luck would be with him, when Charley Herzog injured his spine in a fall in the first month of the season in 1917. Kilduff was called up to the Giants where he played second base. His first home run was off of Grover Cleveland Alexander and the Giants won the game 9-8. Pete spent less than three months there before he was traded to the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs made the World Series that year in 1918 but Pete was not there. He was in the Navy serving his country in World War I. In the middle of the 1919 season, he was traded to the Brooklyn Robins who later would become the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Pete is probably best known for being involved in the only unassisted triple play in World Series history. This was won by the Cleveland Indians in 1920. He played one more year, which was his best during the majors, batting .288 and being an outstanding infielder. He went to the San Francisco due to a contract dispute. As I pointed out before, he played 1922 and 1923 for the San Francisco Seals with his fellow Kansan, Joe Kelly, but he stayed with the Seals. Shreveport, La., was where he played in 1927 and 1928, followed by playing with the Alexandria, La., team in 1929. He was scheduled to be the manager of the team there in 1930, but died Feb. 14, 1930, in Pittsburg, of an appendicitis attack. (Ed note: He was the playing manager for the Alexandria club in 1929.)
Joseph Harley Morris (a.k.a. Joseph H. Bennett) or "Bugs" Morris was the one person who was most difficult to gather information on. He was born in Weir on April 19, 1892 and died in Noel, Mo., in 1957. He played with the Kansas City Blues and Tulsa Oilers. He made his professional debut in 1918 with the St. Louis Browns under the name of "Bugs" Harley Bennett. This was found in the Baseball Encyclopedia. Next, he played with the Chicago White Sox in 1921, using the name of "Bugs" Morris. Finally, we found a copy of his World War I Draft Registration which shows that he was indeed born in Weir City. One of the high points of his career was that he struck out the "Great" Babe Ruth. This was noted his obituary, printed in the Joplin Globe, which also showed his place of birth as Weir.
It is ironic that the small town of Weir City, Kan., could produce these three players within seven years and they all made their mark in major league baseball. What are the odds?

There was an AP wire photo that accompanied this article in the July 26, 1966 Emporia, KS Gazette. Charles Dillon (Casey) Stengel, right, has a few words for his audience (as usual) as he and Ted Williams pose with the plaques that will hang in Baseball's Hall of Fame. Stengel and Williams were inducted into the baseball shrine Monday at ceremonies in Cooperstown, N.-Y.
From the (AP) — Casey Stengel paused for a deep breath while Ted Williams leaned over to whisper in Joe Cronin's ear and laughed. "I once hit against Walter Johnson," Stengel started up again while the record crowd of 6,000 soaked up every word at Cooper Park, behind the Hall of Fame building. Stengel, 75, and Williams, 47, were being formally inducted into the Hall Monday and this quaint, historic community was bulging at the seams. "It was after the season," Stengel went on. "I was hitting about third or fourth in the National League and thought I was some hitter. They had a special homecoming day for Johnson at Coffeyville (Kan.). They came out in buggies to watch Johnson pitch a 1-0 shutout. "The next morning the Kansas City Star story read 'Casey Stengel's inability to hit in the pinches lost the game. 'This is my home town, you know. I was supposed to be quite an athlete — football and basketball player. "There was only one fella got on base all day — Pete Kilduff. So I told him “You're to blame for the .whole thing; if you hadn't got on base, I couldn't have failed to hit in the pinches."

Nonie Baker’s death . May 2, 1957 Kansas City Star was a very terse notice but the only notice of death I ever encountered.
J. W. (Nonie) Baker, 86. Well-known both In the Southeastern Kansas coal field and as a baseball manager. Ed note: That death announcement was the first thing I found regarding Baker’s birth name. With that bit of information I conducted some more research and found that he was John William Baker and he and the former Ellen Luke of Bayonne, New Jersey were the parents of two boys and two girls. One of the sons was John E. Baker and he drove a truck for the strip coal mining company for whom his father was the bookkeeper.

Portion of article from September 30 1963 edition of Emporia, KS Gazette.
Baseball is a game of a fraction of an inch and a split second—the hair's breadth and heartbreak that separate triumphs from disaster, greatness from mediocrity, and Heroes from Goats. Many a brilliant ball player has earned a niche in the World Series Hall of Shame by a momentary mental lapse or error of judgment, just when victory seemed certain. But World Series Goats hold a special place of affection in the hearts of baseball fans. A Hero is adored for one winter, but it is the Goat who is remembered years afterward when the bitterness is gone and memories mellow. A baseball fan identifies himself with the Hero but feels a real kinship with the Goat, who personifies the frustrated Everyman, as he learns life's cruel lessons in the microcosm of a baseball field.
In 1920, a Goat was born when Brooklyn second sacker Pete Kilduff picked up a handful of dirt in the second game, Dodger spit-baller Burleigh Grimes was pitching against Cleveland, and he shut them out, But midway through the game, keen-eyed Tris Speake, the Indians' playing manager, noticed that Kilduff, at his second base position, frequently bent and scooped up dirt with his right hand. The pitch that followed would look fat as it came up, but would invariably jump erratically and miss both the plate and the swinging bat—the trademark of Grimes' spitter. It dawned on Tris that Kilduff, reading the catcher's, signs, would, dust up his hand so that he could handle the wet ball if it were hit to him. Tris tipped off his players. Grimes' spitter seldom hit the strike zone, so when a Cleveland batter saw Kilduff dirty his hand, he let the next pitch go. This nullified the effectiveness of the Dodgers ace, Grimes. In his next two starts, he had to throw straight balls over the plate and the Indians, bombed him 8-1 and 3-0, and won the Series in seven games, Kilduff nailed down his claim to The Goat's Horns by batting a feeble .095 and by becoming the middle out in the only unassisted triple play ever completed in a World Series.
www.milb.com/milb/history/top100.jsp?idx=10.
This story deals with Pete Kilduff being a member of one of the best infields, in 1922, in all of professional baseball. Here is a quote from that large article. “The four starting infielders, Ellison at first, Pete Kilduff at second, Hal Rhyne at short and Eddie Mulligan at third had played together for three years. It was considered the best infield in the PCL and a Sporting News story said it was better than at least three or four in the majors. The quartet was a big reason the Seals led the league in fielding (.968). The careers of Kilduff and Rhyne are covered in the story of the 1922 Seals, Top 100 team #44.”
www.milb.com/milb/history/top100.jsp?idx=44
First baseman Bert Ellison batted .306 with 30 doubles, 10 triples and 16 homers, and led the league in RBI (141). He had joined the Seals in 1921, after all or parts of five seasons with Detroit where he batted .216. He was only 26 when Graham appointed him interim manager. The only two regulars who did not hit .300 were veteran second baseman Pete Kilduff (.287) and rookie shortstop Hal Rhyne (.285). Kilduff had just come down from the majors where he spent five years with the Giants, Cubs and Dodgers, batting .270. He was the second baseman on Brooklyn’s 1920 National League championship team. Pete was only 36 and managing Alexandria in the Cotton States League when he died in 1930 during an appendicitis operation. Rhyne spent seven years in the majors (1926-33) with the Pirates, Red Sox and White Sox. Ellison, Kilduff and Rhyne all were named five years ago to a Pacific Coast League All-1920s team.
Ed comment:
Had Pete Kilduff lived another 19 years he could have had a reunion of sorts with Burleigh Grimes. Grimes came to Pittsburg as the fill-in manager for the Independence, KS Yankees during the absence of Harry Craft during the 1949 season. In fact, Grimes was there on a temporary assignment, in 1948, during the interim between Goldie Howard leaving and Bones Sanders taking over the reins of the Independence team. Who knows, Kilduff may have been the manager of the Pittsburg team, had he lived, for at that time he would only have been 53 years of age.
Two of the big names of the 1920 World Series were Bill Wambsganss and Burleigh Grimes made the New York Times on December 10, 1985. “Funeral services for Burleigh Grimes and Bill Wambsganss, two of the more celebrated names in baseball lore, will be held this week.
Grimes, a member of baseball's Hall of Fame and the last of the great pitchers from the spitball era, died of cancer last Friday in Clear Lake, Wis., a community close to where he was born 92 years ago. Wambsganss, 91, the only player ever to perform an unassisted triple play in the World Series, died Sunday in Lakewood, Ohio, after being hospitalized last month for heart failure, a hospital spokesman said.
Grimes retired in 1934, a year in which he played for the St. Louis Cardinals, Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Yankees. He played with the Pirates in 1916-1917; the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1918-26; the New York Giants in 1927; the Boston Braves and Cardinals in 1930-31; the Chicago Cubs in 1932; and the Cubs and Cardinals again in 1933. His career record was 270-212.”
More on the Kilduff family
Peter John Kilduff wasn’t the only professional baseball player in that large family. Felix “Red” Kilduff was born on October 1, in 1883 in Manchester, England. He became a naturalized United States citizen in 1890. He was another of that core of baseball standouts from Weir, KS. In 1906 he signed to play shortstop for the Iola, KS Grays and moved along with the team when it transferred to Cherryvale, KS, in the old Kansas State league, in mid- season. He played professionally until at least 1910 when he was a member of the Arkansas City, KS Boosters in that same league.
In various Census documents I first determined that Felix had at least eight brothers and sisters. However, one family genealogy site stated that he had eight brothers and four sisters. After digging around in the family genealogy, going back to Manchester, England, I was able to find all of those thirteen children. Felix worked most of his life for Western Coal and Mining Company at Franklin, Kansas. He died in 1932 the same year his mother passed away and two years after his more famous brother, Peter, did. Felix and every member of the Kilduff family are buried in St. Mary’s section of the Highland Cemetery complex.

Some use a Kindle and others a “kettle” (read on)
John I’ve been away all day and I’m just now checking out today’s Report. As usual there are lots of new and interesting stories for me to check out. I’m always interested to learn that you’ve tracked down a former KOM League player and it must be rewarding when this happens.
That search for Joseph Paris is definitely an interesting one. I didn’t try phoning that number however, when I typed it in I also found the names of Joelene and Kelly J Paris possibly living at that same address. Unfortunately the google street vehicle didn’t capture houses on Redwood Circle in Thousand Oaks.
John I’m going to plug in the kettle and check out the rest of this Report. Talk to you later. Going to have to go thru this one again! Lots of info Barry in Ladysmith, BC
Ed reply:
I believe he was living with his son. He might be in a nursing home now since he is 89.
My newest concentrated tracking project is Edward Clifton Scott. He ought to be findable. He was from Southwest City, Mo. Signed by Runt Marr and sent to Springfield, MO in 1949. He didn't last and was picked up by the Pittsburg Pirates playing for their teams in Mt. Vernon, Ill. and Bartlesville, Okla. before being released and picked up by Iola. He went back to Iola in 1950 and then I believe he went into the Korean War within a year of two. He came out in 1954 and graduated in 1958 from the University of Missouri, right here in Columbia, with a Bachelor of Arts degree. The next time I could find anything on him was his marriage at the age of 35 in Imperial, CA. His bride was 31. That marriage was in 1965. His next sighting was in Independence, MO in 1973.
Scott's dad was born in Red River, OK and is buried at Southwest City. During his life his father was a barber. Scott and I share the same birthday. I suspect he is either deceased, or living in California. I'll see if I can do a better job of speaking with him than I did Joseph Paris.
More comments:
Not a whole lot of time was spent researching the life of Edward Clifton Scott after the note to my Canadian reader. Scott was a left-handed first baseman for the 1949-50 Iola Indians and would be best remembered by Bob Nichols and Dick Getter among the readers of this newsletter. So, if you guys have anything to share about him, feel free to send it along. In fact, Bob Schwarz might recall him as he replaced Scott for he left prior to the conclusion of the 1950 season. It may be that Scott had to enroll in school for he was listed as a student at the University of Missouri in 1951. He may have started in 1950.
It is my belief Scott served during the Korean War and then went back to the Univ. of Missouri to finish his education. He played part of 1955 with Alexandria, Louisiana in the Evangeline league. During the time Scott attended the University of Missouri he listed Southwest City as his hometown.

That is it for this time, hopefully there will more next times.
