Title: Cannon at Fort Zachary Taylor: Key West, Florida
Date: August 1984
General note: Construction began on Fort Zachary Taylor in 1845, the year Florida achieved statehood. The fort was built to protect the important port of Key West, one of the largest cities in 19th century Florida. During the Civil War, Fort Taylor remained under federal control. Originally built 1,200 feet offshore, a dredging project in the 1960s land locked Fort Taylor. Today, the National Landmark site is home to the largest cache of Civil War-era seacoast cannons in the United States.

Quebec City
Quebec ( /kw?'b?k/ or /k?'b?k/; French: Québec [keb?k] ( listen)), also Québec, Quebec City or Québec City (French: Ville de Québec) is the capital of the Canadian province of Quebec. As of 2011, the city has a population of 516,622,[1] and the metropolitan area has a population of 765,706[2], making it the second most populous city in Quebec after Montreal, which is about 233 kilometres (145 mi) to the southwest.
The narrowing of the Saint Lawrence River approximate to the city's promontory, Cap-Diamant (Cape Diamond), and Lévis, on the opposite bank, provided the name given to the city, Kébec, an Algonquin word meaning "where the river narrows". Founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain, Quebec City is one of the oldest cities in North America. The ramparts surrounding Old Quebec (Vieux-Québec) are the only remaining fortified city walls that still exist in the Americas north of Mexico, and were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985 as the 'Historic District of Old Québec'.[3][4]
According to the federal and provincial governments, Québec is the city's official name in both French and English, although Quebec City is commonly used, particularly to distinguish the city from the province. The city's most famous landmark is the Château Frontenac, a hotel which dominates the skyline. The National Assembly of Quebec, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (National Gallery of Quebec), and the Musée de la civilisation (Museum of Civilization) are found within or near Vieux-Québec.
Quebec
Quebec /kw?'b?k/ or /k?'b?k/ (French: Québec [keb?k] ( listen))[7] is a province in east-central Canada.[8][9] It is the only Canadian province with a predominantly French-speaking population and the only one whose sole official language is French at the provincial level. Quebec is Canada's largest province by area and its second-largest administrative division; only the territory of Nunavut is larger. It is bordered to the west by the province of Ontario, James Bay and Hudson Bay, to the north by Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay, to the east by the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador and New Brunswick. It is bordered on the south by the US states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York. It also shares maritime borders with Nunavut, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia.
Quebec is Canada's second most populous province, after Ontario. Most inhabitants live in urban areas near the Saint Lawrence River between Montreal and Quebec City, the capital. English-speaking communities and English-language institutions are concentrated in the west of the island of Montreal but are also significantly present in the Outaouais, Eastern Townships, and Gaspé regions. The Nord-du-Québec region, occupying the northern half of the province, is sparsely populated and inhabited primarily by Aboriginal peoples.[10]
Sovereignty plays a large role in the politics of Quebec, and the official opposition social democratic Parti Québécois advocates national sovereignty for the province and secession from Canada. Sovereignist governments have held referendums on independence in 1980 and 1995; both were voted down by voters, the latter defeated by a very narrow margin.[11] In 2006, the Canadian House of Commons passed a symbolic motion, the Québécois nation motion, recognizing the "Québécois as a nation within a united Canada."[12][13]
While the province's substantial natural resources have long been the mainstay of its economy, sectors of the knowledge economy such as aerospace, information and communication technologies, biotechnology and the pharmaceutical industry also play leading roles. These many industries have all contributed to helping Quebec become the second most economically influential province, second only to Ontario.[14]
Old Quebec
Historic District of Old Quebec *
UNESCO World Heritage Site
Old Quebec (French: Vieux-Québec) is a historic neighbourhood of Quebec City, the capital of the province of Quebec in Canada. Comprising the Upper Town (French: Haute-Ville) and Lower Town (French: Basse-Ville), the area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Administratively, Old Quebec is part of the Vieux-Québec–Cap-Blanc–colline Parlementaire district in the borough of La Cité–Limoilou.
The area is sometimes referred to as the Latin Quarter (French: Quartier latin), but this title refers more to area around the Séminaire de Québec, the original site of Laval University.
History
Old Quebec is the oldest part of Quebec City, chosen in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain as the location for the Chateau Saint-Louis. Old Quebec maintained a strong military and administrative presence from its beginning, a use determined by the strategic heights of Cap Diamant. While the Lower Town was populated with merchants and craftsmen, the Upper Town was inhabited by military officials and members of the clergy.
This strong military presence long limited the city's expansion. At the end of the 19th century, many wanted to demolish the fortifications, judging them to be unnecessary and a hindrance to urban development. However, Governor Dufferin successfully managed to preserve the character of the walled city, while adapting the further expansion of the modern city.
Despite having undergone some degradation in the 1950s, the Old City has been subject to somewhat of a renaissance period since the 1970s.
The rich historic nature of Old Quebec is marked by the city's ramparts, fortifications, and many historic houses and buildings. The legacy of previous generations and the beauty of the district make it particularly unique.
The majority of buildings in the neighborhood date from 19th century, although the construction of some date back to 17th and 18th centuries. It also is home to several commercial streets, including Rue Saint-Jean, Rue Sainte-Anne and Rue De Buade. Many institutions are still housed in the heart of the city, such as the Quebec City Council, the Séminaire de Québec, the Ursulines Convent, and the Augustinian monastery. As a popular tourist destination, Old Quebec is also home to several hotels, including the famous Château Frontenac. Guided ghosts tours are also of interest to its residents and visitors.

Quebec City
Quebec ( /kw?'b?k/ or /k?'b?k/; French: Québec [keb?k] ( listen)), also Québec, Quebec City or Québec City (French: Ville de Québec) is the capital of the Canadian province of Quebec. As of 2011, the city has a population of 516,622,[1] and the metropolitan area has a population of 765,706[2], making it the second most populous city in Quebec after Montreal, which is about 233 kilometres (145 mi) to the southwest.
The narrowing of the Saint Lawrence River approximate to the city's promontory, Cap-Diamant (Cape Diamond), and Lévis, on the opposite bank, provided the name given to the city, Kébec, an Algonquin word meaning "where the river narrows". Founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain, Quebec City is one of the oldest cities in North America. The ramparts surrounding Old Quebec (Vieux-Québec) are the only remaining fortified city walls that still exist in the Americas north of Mexico, and were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985 as the 'Historic District of Old Québec'.[3][4]
According to the federal and provincial governments, Québec is the city's official name in both French and English, although Quebec City is commonly used, particularly to distinguish the city from the province. The city's most famous landmark is the Château Frontenac, a hotel which dominates the skyline. The National Assembly of Quebec, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (National Gallery of Quebec), and the Musée de la civilisation (Museum of Civilization) are found within or near Vieux-Québec.
Quebec
Quebec /kw?'b?k/ or /k?'b?k/ (French: Québec [keb?k] ( listen))[7] is a province in east-central Canada.[8][9] It is the only Canadian province with a predominantly French-speaking population and the only one whose sole official language is French at the provincial level. Quebec is Canada's largest province by area and its second-largest administrative division; only the territory of Nunavut is larger. It is bordered to the west by the province of Ontario, James Bay and Hudson Bay, to the north by Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay, to the east by the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador and New Brunswick. It is bordered on the south by the US states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York. It also shares maritime borders with Nunavut, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia.
Quebec is Canada's second most populous province, after Ontario. Most inhabitants live in urban areas near the Saint Lawrence River between Montreal and Quebec City, the capital. English-speaking communities and English-language institutions are concentrated in the west of the island of Montreal but are also significantly present in the Outaouais, Eastern Townships, and Gaspé regions. The Nord-du-Québec region, occupying the northern half of the province, is sparsely populated and inhabited primarily by Aboriginal peoples.[10]
Sovereignty plays a large role in the politics of Quebec, and the official opposition social democratic Parti Québécois advocates national sovereignty for the province and secession from Canada. Sovereignist governments have held referendums on independence in 1980 and 1995; both were voted down by voters, the latter defeated by a very narrow margin.[11] In 2006, the Canadian House of Commons passed a symbolic motion, the Québécois nation motion, recognizing the "Québécois as a nation within a united Canada."[12][13]
While the province's substantial natural resources have long been the mainstay of its economy, sectors of the knowledge economy such as aerospace, information and communication technologies, biotechnology and the pharmaceutical industry also play leading roles. These many industries have all contributed to helping Quebec become the second most economically influential province, second only to Ontario.[14]
Old Quebec
Historic District of Old Quebec *
UNESCO World Heritage Site
Old Quebec (French: Vieux-Québec) is a historic neighbourhood of Quebec City, the capital of the province of Quebec in Canada. Comprising the Upper Town (French: Haute-Ville) and Lower Town (French: Basse-Ville), the area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Administratively, Old Quebec is part of the Vieux-Québec–Cap-Blanc–colline Parlementaire district in the borough of La Cité–Limoilou.
The area is sometimes referred to as the Latin Quarter (French: Quartier latin), but this title refers more to area around the Séminaire de Québec, the original site of Laval University.
History
Old Quebec is the oldest part of Quebec City, chosen in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain as the location for the Chateau Saint-Louis. Old Quebec maintained a strong military and administrative presence from its beginning, a use determined by the strategic heights of Cap Diamant. While the Lower Town was populated with merchants and craftsmen, the Upper Town was inhabited by military officials and members of the clergy.
This strong military presence long limited the city's expansion. At the end of the 19th century, many wanted to demolish the fortifications, judging them to be unnecessary and a hindrance to urban development. However, Governor Dufferin successfully managed to preserve the character of the walled city, while adapting the further expansion of the modern city.
Despite having undergone some degradation in the 1950s, the Old City has been subject to somewhat of a renaissance period since the 1970s.
The rich historic nature of Old Quebec is marked by the city's ramparts, fortifications, and many historic houses and buildings. The legacy of previous generations and the beauty of the district make it particularly unique.
The majority of buildings in the neighborhood date from 19th century, although the construction of some date back to 17th and 18th centuries. It also is home to several commercial streets, including Rue Saint-Jean, Rue Sainte-Anne and Rue De Buade. Many institutions are still housed in the heart of the city, such as the Quebec City Council, the Séminaire de Québec, the Ursulines Convent, and the Augustinian monastery. As a popular tourist destination, Old Quebec is also home to several hotels, including the famous Château Frontenac. Guided ghosts tours are also of interest to its residents and visitors.
Ramparts of Quebec City
World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1985
National Historic Site of Canada in 1948
Located in Canada, the Ramparts of Quebec City are the only remaining fortified city walls in the Americas, north of Mexico.[1] The English began fortifying the existing walls,[2] after they took Quebec City from the French in the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759.
The wall surrounds most of Old Quebec, which was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1985.[3] The fortifications were designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1948.

Và đôi tay trắng chỉ biết chấp chặt nguyện cầu em được bình yên :) Và mog người sau sẽ luôn kề bên cho em vòng tay .
Và mong từng lối em về giờ đây sẽ thôi lặng thầm hiu quạnh . Sẽ dành cho người tất cả con tim như em đã từng yêu anh .
. Để đôi môi còn mãi làm thơ.
. Để đôi chân còn trụ rán chờ .
. Lỡ một mai người về như mơ nhưng chắc là không, đã có người khác cho em nụ cười trước giấc ngủ còn anh ngẩng ngơ,vui vơ,nghẹn ngào,vẫy tay chào về thiên thu :)
. Không có người sau vì anh kiệt sức kẹt mãi nơi này chân chùn bước . Tiếc mãi vòng tay,hơi ấm tình say em đã êm đềm có biết được ? :)
_______________
Anh biết đi về nơi đâu khi không cánh tay em dìu dắt thì che đậy cỏi lòng ở sau mi sau khi biết được sự thật vì sao và đó là anh lúc trước sau đêm anh vừa mất em . Khuôn mặt gầy hộc cứ bước vào chiều tối đèn nhá nhem :)
Chẳng có lý nào để anh thốt ra thêm một lời níu kéo. Đứng nhìn em khuất dần xa nhưng anh không thể bước theo.
Có lẽ từ đây về sau không còn chung đường chung lối.
Có lẽ từ đây anh phải một mình bước đi trong từng đêm tối.
Không yêu ai lần nữa giữ vẹn cuộc tình đôi ta. Để rồi con tim hóa đá theo từng tháng ngày trôi qua .
Sau tất cả nhận đc dối trá niềm đau đôi chân mệt nhoài trở lại nơi góc phố cũ tìm nhau . Biết trách ai giờ đây lòng này muốn trách móc em nhưng sao không được nưã lời :)
Liệu có phải anh đang cố chấp khiến em càng xa anh hơn.
Liệu có phải đã khiến em chán ghét những lời ca anh hơn .
Liệu có phải những gì còn lại cũng dần phôi pha nhanh hơn .
Liệu có phải anh càng niếu giữ thời gian càng qua nhanh hơn .
- Và chỉ đơn giản một câu hỏi sao em chưa về bên? Đôi khi gục ngã trong vô vọng lại muốn buông lời trách móc. Trách người sao đã đến rồi lại đi - dạy tôi biết buồn biết khóc. Tại sao từ đầu lại trao cho tôi quá nhiều giả dối ngọt ngào để tôi quen nhờn và cố chấp yêu người dù biết mình sẽ rất đau .
Em để lại đây trong tôi là đôi chữ yêu và hận.
Em ra đi và cho tôi biết đôi khi tình yêu là phận.
Tôi để lại gì trong tim em một chiều mưa buồn hoang vắng . Có lẽ tất cả cũng đã biến tan vì bầu trời kia đang nắng.
Nếu tôi một phép màu tôi sẽ không ước được có em . Sẽ không ước có một cơ hội thay đỗi quá khứ đầy lắm lem :)
_____
- Sẽ mãi alone thôi ^^ Hehe .

The death of Daniel Stanton Anderson—1951 Bartlesville Pirates
For the sake of seeing a photo of Anderson, and for clarity in reading, I’d suggest you pull up this URL. www.legacy.com/obituaries/redoakexpress/obituary.aspx?n=d... In cutting and pasting from some sites the ugly gray background makes reading it unpleasant.
Daniel Stanton "Danny" Anderson, 80, Stanton, died Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2014, at the Stanton Care Center.
Danny was born Sept. 8, 1933, in Stanton, the son of Virgil and Violet (Sederburg) Anderson. Danny attended Stanton Community School, excelled in baseball at a young age and was quite a pitcher. Danny graduated from high school with the class of 1951. Upon graduation, he was recruited by the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball organization including playing for the Batavia, New York Pirates.
During this time, Danny met Iola Brumsted and they were married Feb. 25, 1954, in Batavia. Danny played with the Pirates for three years and then served in the United States Army where he also played baseball.
Danny and Iola lived in New York for a short time and then returned to Stanton where Danny started playing ball with the Stanton town team, playing for many years.
Danny worked for Farner-Bocken for seven years. He then started working in Red Oak in the car business and expanded with a new Chrysler dealership in Villisca. In 1977, he established a franchised Chrysler, Plymouth and Dodge dealership in Red Oak in its current location on North Broadway.
Danny was a true entrepreneur. He developed many spec homes in Stanton, built a motel and steakhouse, which is now the Stanton Child Resource Center daycare. Over the years, he had many rental properties, sold campers, boats, lawnmowers, ice, and even traded a clothing store and several lots for vehicles.
He was an advocate to kids with his "Get Hooked on Fishing, Not Drugs Program." He provided every child at the fourth grade level a fishing pole each year. Danny had a great passion for fishing, even participating at the professional level. He also enjoyed hunting, bowling, playing cards and telling stories. Danny was a member of many local and national organizations. He truly lived life to its fullest!
Survivors include his wife, Iola Anderson of Stanton; children, Shelley Clark of Stanton, Kerry Anderson of Carrollton, Texas, Mickey Anderson and wife Marla of Stanton, and Jamie Gray and husband Bill of Olathe, Kan.; 12 grandchildren, Noah Clark and Hallie Warneke of Ames, Jeb Clark of Stanton, Stormey Dykes and husband Joe of Stanton, Aaron Anderson of Carrollton, Ragen Anderson and Adam Gladman of Stanton, Reece Anderson of Stanton, Lisa Gray of Sioux Falls, S.D., Jacob Gray of Council Bluffs, Morghan Ramirez and husband Noah of Olathe and Gracie, Ellie, and Auvie Gray of Olathe; six great-grandchildren, Oliver, Evalynne and Wylee Dykes, Apollo and Violet Ramirez and Hailie Gray; sisters-in-law, Vivian Brumsted of Batavia and Florence Mooney of Oakfield, N.Y.; many other relatives and friends.
Funeral services were Sunday, Aug. 24, 2014, at the Mamrelund Lutheran Church with Rev. Dr. Eric Kutzli officiating. Burial was in the Mamre Cemetery. In accordance with Danny's request, in lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to the Mamrelund Lutheran Church, the Coffee Pot Restoration Project; the Greenbelt Expansion Project; or the Stanton Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department.
Nelson-Boylan-LeRette Funeral Chapel is in charge of arrangements. - See more at: www.legacy.com/obituaries/redoakexpress/obituary.aspx?n=d...
Ed comment;
Over the years I communicated with Anderson many times. After the 1998 KOM league reunion, at Carthage, he contacted me to relate that he had cancer and didn’t think he had much time left. As it turned out he had 16 years.
On Father’s Day, of this year, another pitcher on that 1951 Bartlesville team stopped for a visit on his way from his home in Alabama to the Black Hills and beyond. We talked about Dan Anderson and Anderson’s teammate, Don Gebbs, mentioned he’d like to stop and visit but his schedule and travel route wouldn’t accommodate it. So, the next visit will have to be at a venue none of us can fathom.
______________________________________________________________________
Did you know this?
How many of you former players and readers of “all this stuff” ever knew about the 1954 KOM league season? I’ve told readers, in recent reports, that the KOM league was only a figment of my imagination. Since I feel as though I’ve milked the 1946-1952 run of that league to death I decided to reinvent the KOM league starting in late 1953 and making plans to operate an eight team league, in 1954, at a maximum and having at least a six team league for sure. I can tell you that the Rawlings baseball was even chosen as the official ball for the revived league. Rawlings even sent a representative to a league meeting held on October 5, 1953 to take the order.
But, to get there from here, I have to construct a shaggy dog tale (pun intended). It all starts out with my attempt to relocate Harold Crucani with whom I corresponded many years when he was living in San Diego. He had a twin brother, Gerald, and I have communicated with him in the past as well. Gerald lived in Kennett, MO but recent attempt to contact him, and then ask about Harold, haven’t met with any more success than the world has in controlling ISIS.
Recently, I found a document on the Internet that indicated Harold Crucani was one of the many residents of Franklin, KS (located just north of Pittsburg) who served their country in the military. Thus, I started over as if I had never heard from either of the Crucani brothers and relied totally on newspaper accounts of their baseball lives.
Reading about the Crucani’s eventually led me to discovering the plans to bring back the KOM league after a year of inactivity. The Crucani twins were playing Ban Johnson baseball, in 1953, at Parsons, KS and that that team played many games in Iola and usually beat them. The Ban Johnson league during the summer of 1953 had a number of former KOM leaguers and a future big leaguer, Ralph Terry, pitching at Independence, KS. It appears that Ban Johnson league ball was less than the natives of the old KOM league had grown accustomed and they set out in late 1953 to bring back the league that had spoiled them with great talent and performance for a magical seven years.
Here a a few accounts of the Crucani’s baseball career:
Ardmore Daily Ardmoreite March 27, 1952. “…They include twins Harold and Gerald Crucani of Franklin, Kans., and Robert Friskel of Frontenac, Kansas. All three were sent here by Hugh Alexander, Chicago White Sox scout from Gainesville, Texas.
Ed note:
Friskel wound up with Miami, OK and the Pittsburg/Bartlesville franchise in 1952. Ardmore sent the Crucani twins to Blackwell, OK where they stayed for a short time before going on to Jackson, TN in the KITTY league.
PAGE SIX THE IOLA REGISTER. MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 8,1953. IOLA, KANSAS ...ON SECOND THOUGHT by Joe Gilmartin: Mickey Mantle's twin brothers, Roy and Ray, and a cousin, Max, are playing for the Baxter Springs entry in the Southeastern Kansas Ban Johnson League, but the presence of such an illustrious name on their roster hasn't done the Whiz Kids a bit of good so far. Baxter is still looking for its first league victory. Max leads off and plays third base for them. Ray and Roy are both outfielders —which, if nothing else might occasionally confuse official scorers.

A Parsons Blues game in July 1953
The Parsons Blues poured seven runs across the plate in the sixth inning and went on to an easy 14-5 triumph over the Iola Beejays in Parsons last night. Iola took a 5-3 lead into that sixth behind the steady five-hit pitching of Jim Jerome, who was finally making his first league start, and some smooth fielding. The Beejays were handed two runs in the third to break a scoreless tie on a pair of throwing errors by third baseman Bob Witucki and one by pitcher Bob Dodson. Parsons came back with three in the fourth on rather flukey singles by Harold Crucani and Willard Fox, and an inside-the-park home run by Jack Inglish. This was only one of four hits by Mr. Inglish, who drove in five tallies and scored three to make a general nuisance of himself before graciously taking a third strike in the eighth. Leading 3-2 going into the fifth, Parsons pitcher Dodson developed a blister on his throwing hand" and was forced, to retire. Norris Dorsey, who fanned 18 Iolans a week ago, came on to protect that margin. The Beejays greeted him, like a long lost and well loved cousin. After Jerome grounded out Dave Nichols, jr. fired a double down the right field line and Don Lee reached on interference by the catcher for the third time this year. Sonny Martin then singled Nichols home with the ' tying ; run. Ken Oliphant struck out, but Frank Harclerode walloped a tremendous triple to left center to score Martin and Lee and give Iola a 5-3 lead. As far as the Beejays were concerned, the game ended right there. Only one-man reached base on Dorsey over the final four innings, and that was Bill Krause who out- legged a slow roller in the eighth. He struck out seven men. to run his total' to 25 against Iola in 14 innings, and walked nary a soul to pick up his second win. Jerome was shaken up running out that ground ball in the top of the sixth, and things were never the same after that. In the last half of the sixth, Parsons unloaded on Jim. Doubles by Harold Crucani, Inglish, and pinch-hitter Lowell Stevens, a single by Gerald Crucani, walks to Bob Witucki and Dorsey, plus two costly errors by Iola netted seven runs for the Blues and put the game on ice. Jack Smith relieved Jerome with one out and six runs home and struck out Fox and Harold Crucani to put a stop to the merry-go-round, but it was too late. The final run of the inning came home on a double steal. It was the first appearance of the year for Smith, who gives promise of pitching help once he gets in shape. Just for the record, Parsons' four runs in the seventh came on walks to Bob Friskel and Bill Quarles and singles by the Crucani twins,
Five years later:
Joplin Globe January 10, 1958 --NAVY RECRUITS NINE DURING LAST MONTH Nine district men enlisted in the navy during December, according to an announcement by Chief Lawrence Anderson of the Joplin navy recruiting station yesterday. They are as follows: Thomas Ray Dalton of Anderson: Harold Lloyd Crucani of Franklin. Kan.; George Edward Maddox of Goodman: Alan Robert Drenik of Frontenac, Kan.; Myron Earl Baker of Picher, and James Robert Harrod, Jmmy Lee Neal. Jimmie Lee Moss and Walter Leon Eubank of Joplin.
A note shared with baseball necrologist—Jack Morris
I've been working on the purported death of Harold Crucani. We communicated for many years. He was in San Diego when we exchanged a lot of things. In recent years I hadn't heard anything from him. Then I found a reference on a site that lists servicemen who served from Franklin, Ks. That town is just north of Pittsburg. That Franklin site lists him as being deceased. I also communicated with his twin brother, Gerald. Gerald was living at Kennett, MO at last check. I tried calling him this week but the phone was disconnected. Gerald has a son who lives near Columbia and maybe I can find out some details from him. There isn't much in the Census records on the Crucani family except for a younger brother, Joe, born in 1939 and is deceased.
Confession:
What I thought would be an easy chore in verifying the fate of Harold Floyd “Lefty” Crucani has become more difficult than first believed. Since I knew his twin brother, Gerald, lived n Kennett, MO and Gerald Jr. once lived in nearby Jefferson City, I figured a couple of telephone calls would solve all my questions. But, every telephone number I’ve dialed has resulted in “Sorry, this is no longer a working number.” I guess many people have cut land line service in favor of going totally cell phone. Anyway, since this case is not closed it will give me something to do in the late August heat other than pick tomatoes.

Comment on the passing of Jerry Lumpe
John, I am sorry my old roomie, Jerry Lumpe, passed away. He and I roomed together at Richmond (1956 International League). I know he was one great guy.. Saw him at the one (KOM) reunion that was the last time I saw him. Our condolences to Vivian and the rest of his family. Dick and Joan Getter—Dallas, TX
Ed comment:
Some people might be surprised at the names of fellows who attended one or more KOM reunions who also played in the major leagues. If my Alzheimer’s hasn’t got the best of me I think I can name all of them: Boyd Bartley, Don Gutteridge, Bob Wiesler, Cloyd Boyer, Bob Mahoney, Brandy Davis, Jerry Lumpe, Whitey Herzog, Bob Speake, Joe Stanka, Gale Wade, Bill Virdon, Jake Thies and John Gabler who showed up at one of the Carthage reunions after everyone had left. Only eleven of the 33 former KOM leaguers who made it to the major leagues attended a KOM league reunion. By the time the reunions started happening many of the former KOM/Major leaguers had passed on. I could name them as well but won’t.

Hi John, I still read your Flash Report and of course, especially love reading things about Grandpa. I’ll be forwarding this piece on to my cousins.
I appreciate reading what Frog wrote. I do remember Frog from when I was a kid, and he called me when dad passed away 10 years ago in May. I don’t have contact with him, but could you please tell him that I enjoyed reading what you printed below.
Thanks again for keeping this all alive.

Ed reply:
I thought you might see and enjoy that article. Frog is such a nice person and I'm happy he's getting the recognition he deserves. I imagine a lot of people in Topeka were surprised that the guy who taught Mickey to throw the knuckleball is in their midst.
Are you back in Sweden or still on your summer vacation to the states? Refresh my memory, one more time with the name of the town where you reside. It sure has to be cooler there than mid-Missouri is right now
Mia’s reply:
I really did like that. I remember even Frog Heavin singing when I was a kid! I had heard about this knuckleball several times…in several different settings, but with the same outcome.
I am in Oklahoma right now, heading for Florida on Sunday, back to Colorado later in the week, and home to Järna, Sweden on 30 August.

Attempt at resurrecting the KOM League.
August 27, 1953 Iola Register: By Joe Gilmartin Yesterday's meeting in Independence to discuss possible revival of the KOM League didn't alter the situation in Iola one bit, It’s still up to the residents of this city to decide for themselves— Pro ball or no Pro ball. Earl Sifers, league vice-president, was the only Iolan present, but this isn't too .significant since yesterday's conference was just an informal affair, held to lay the foundations for a\formal league meeting Sept. 13. If Iola decides it wants in between now and then, some sort of organization or committee will have to be created to at least explore the possibility of a return to Class D Baseball. There may be many people here who want the KOM back, but there is nothing more useless than aimless enthusiasm. The men who gathered at the Booth Hotel yesterday seemed confident that the circuit could operate next year, so that should give local baseball enthusiasts — assuming there are still some here—a measure of encouragement. The league structure is intact, and other communities are working diligently toward a rejuvenated KOM League. If Iola wants to join the parade, now is the time to at least start the ball rolling. Incidentally, Sifers said that he didn't believe Big League baseball in Kansas City would hurt the KOM. "It's too far away," explained Earl, and wouldn't affect our attendance one per cent. He did concede, however, that considerable damage might be done if unrestricted radio and TV cover- : age of a Major League team in Kansas City were allowed in the KOM area — particularly as television expands and reaches areas now on the fringe or beyond
September 14, 1953—Joe Gilmartin Iola Register.
Oklahoma and Kansas baseball men took the first step toward reorganization of the Class D KOM baseball league at a meeting in the Booth Hotel in Independence yesterday morning. Representatives from Iola, Independence, Pittsburg, and Ponca City adopted a resolution' to the effect that: "The KOM league shall operate for the 1954 season with cities represented at - this meeting, and such other communities that may be capable of supporting a Class D organization." George Barr of Tulsa, president of the Class C Western Association, and head of the KOM circuit at the time of its suspension last April, presided over the conference, which was of an informal nature. Earl Sifers. vice-president of the KOM at suspension time, was the only Iolan at the meeting. Others who attended the talk-fest, called by the Ponca City Chamber of Commerce, were: H. J. "Doc" Gleason and Les Davis, Independence: J. Roy Hardin, Pittsburg; H. L. Schall. Bill Platt, Cliff Maple, and W. D. Edwards, all from Ponca City. The group appointed one man from each community to serve on a committee to sound out the different areas on Class D. Ball. Although optimism was the keynote of the get together, only one city definitely committed itself to fielding a Class D team in 1954. That was Blackwell, Okla., which did not have a representative present, but furnished a written guarantee to play ball. As far as Iola is concerned, Sifers confined himself to stating that Iola wanted the league reactivated, regardless of whether this city had a team or not. The next meeting—which will be a formal league affair is scheduled for Sept. 13, and will be held in either El Dorado or Independence. Other cities which .will be, invited to that meeting are Enid, Miami, and Bartlesville from Okla., Parsons, Emporia, and Chanute from Kansas, and Nevada, Mo., Barr said after the meeting that an eight team league will be the goal, pointing out that this was a much more practical arrangement than a six-team circuit. . While nobody would be quoted officially, it was hinted that Ft. Smith, currently in the Western Association, might possibly be interested in coming down to Class D status. Touching on finances, it was disclosed that the league has a current cash balance of $156 — probably enough to cover initial organizational expenses, (letters, phone calls, etc.).
Not that it makes a great deal of difference, but this city has until Oct. 4 to resurrect its vanishing baseball ambition and take steps toward re-entering the KOM League next year. At a league meeting in El Dorado yesterday, five cities, Independence and Pittsburg, Kans., Ponca City, Blackwell, and Miami, Okla., have agreed to field Class D ball clubs, and present Indications are that the circuit will operate on an eight team basis in 1954. At any rate, a six-team loop is virtually a certainty now. Earl Sifers, who presided at the meeting- in the absence of George Barr, league president, was the only lolan present, which would indicate that interest in baseball is at something less than a red-hot level in this community. One thing that has interested us as we've watched the foundation being laid for re-activation of the league has been the fact that MOST Chambers of Commerce consider a professional baseball team a great asset to their communities, and have backed up this belief with; plenty of hard work. While, on the other hand, the lola Chamber of Commerce has shown no interest whatever in the matte. We don't have the vaguest notion as to the reason, but it certainly makes an interesting contrast between C of C's. Incidentally, major league representatives present in El Dorado yesterday indicated that it would be easier to obtain working agreements with the majors next year than ever before. The reason? There are all sorts of young ball players roaming around. Oh; Well, It's nice to know that the KOM will operate again; but it's too bad lola can't make the grade—even as a Class D town anymore;
October 5, 1953: Iola Register
Still on baseball, hut closer to home, we went down to a KOM League meeting in Independence yesterday morning: sacrificing precious sleep in the interest of service to our readers. Earl Sifers. vice president of the loop and Milford Langley, represented lola. It was a rather unusual gathering. For one thing, although there were only three cities, Iola. Ponca City, and Independence actually represented, optimism was definitely the keynote. As a matter of fact, the first order of business was to vote to use baseballs supplied by Rawlings when, the league resumes operations.
The KOM has used Rawlings balls; through most of its seven previous seasons, and the firm had a representative from St. Louis on hand yesterday. (Ed note: The Wilson ball was used in 1946 and the Worth (less) ball in 1948. Bob Nichols, Iola pitcher in 1948-49, claims Sifers ordered his batboy to take McGregor baseballs to the umpire to be used when Iola came to bat in some of their home games. That is something I could only take Nichols word for and he’s an honest guy with a great memory). It was agreed that problem of the moment was securing working agreements with major league clubs, an arrangement regarded as a vital, necessity, and. again optimism held the floor everybody assuring everybody else that the majors were looking for Class D farm clubs. lola's position remains unchanged although the baseball men in other communities are quite confident that this city will. have a team on the field, come time for the start of a new season. However, despite a little pressure here and there. Iola's representatives did not commit themselves either way on Iola's chances for fielding a Class D ball club.- As the situation stands at the moment, George Barr, league president; is to sound out all the major league clubs on working agreements, and: then get in touch with the potential league cities. It, looks very much as though the league will resume operation next spring, but exactly, who will be in it remains some- Hint of a mystery. Independence, Ponca City, and Blackwell are regarded as the only lead-pipe cinches to operate, while Miami, Bartlesville. Pittsburg and lola remain big question marks.
The outcome:
Well, things never got past the talking stage and the KOM league stayed “closed for business.” In this writer’s humble opinion the KOM was doomed when E. L. Dale gave up the league presidency in favor of George Barr. Barr was attempting to operate two leagues, the Western Association and the KOM. Very little attention was paid to the KOM back when he took over and the league ceased operation at the end of 1952. All attempts at going in 1953 failed. So, to attempt to revive a league after a year of absence was almost doomed to failure.
Rather than being the nucleus of a revived KOM league the towns of Ponca City and Blackwell in Oklahoma and Iola in Kansas joined the Western Association, for the 1954 season. Earl Sifers never was totally in favor of a revised KOM league, with Iola in it, and I believe it is likely the reason he wasn’t was due to him knowing Iola would be welcomed into the Western Association regardless if the KOM operated or not.
A dubious distinction that Ponca City, Blackwell and Iola shared was that they were in the KOM league in its last year of operation and the Western Association its “last hurrah.”
At the same time the KOM league was thinking of a comeback the Western Association was having meetings trying to decide what towns would have teams in 1954. Involved in the middle of that uproar was George Barr who was spending time trying to make sure Muskogee, Ft. Smith and Joplin stayed afloat. So, my contention is that the KOM league missed coming back because Barr was expending his efforts on the Western Association. There is a great deal of documentation to support my contention. A Joplin Globe article of Oct. 6, 1953 is an example of it. If you have Ancestry.com you can find an article about the dual league operation. interactive.ancestry.com/8082/NEWS-MO-JO_GL.1951_08_26_00... If you don’t have Ancestry.com, take my word for it.

Joe Stanka seeks your opinion.
Joe Stanka, a former minor league and big league pitcher on two continents, suggested the following as a reading project for former ballplayers and then wondered if any would care to comment for publication in the Flash Report. Since I’m always looking for ways to gauge the volume of readership of these missives this might be a way to find out if “anyone is home, out there.”
www.hemispheresmagazine.com/2014/08/01/armed-delicate/
There isn’t any right or wrong viewpoint on the subject, just like politics, there are viewpoints. So, give it your best shot and make Stanka happy that someone did what he suggested while at the same time giving Yours truly some idea as to the Flash Report readership numbers.

A promise kept
In the last report I mentioned I’d tell why Tedd Gullic had to learn Spanish if there was ever another Flash Report. Well, since I came up with enough material for a report, here’s the Gullic incident as quoted from a newspaper in the KOM reading area, in early 1951. “Tedd Gullic, Bartlesville baseball manager, has not had much time to train his new ball team for the KOM league pennant race. The study of Spahish has been taking most of his time. The sponsoring Pittsburgh Pirates, have sent Gullic four players from Mexico. They speak no English, or practically none. Gullic speaks no Spanish, or very little. Names of these baseball playerss are Ernesto Garcia. Oscar Buelna, Nicholas V. Genesta and Martinez Cruz.”
Ed note:
Garcia and Buelna were from Nogales and Genesta was Empalma, Sonora, Mexico. The player listed as Martinez Cruz turned out to be Jose Ruiz Martinez. I never figured out his hometown.

Although I reported on the death of Albert Raymond Fadell—Chanute 1949-- in October of 2011 I don’t recall using the obituary that I located recently. So, here it is. www.heritage-dildaymemorialservices.com/obituaries/Albert... If you have seen it previously you have probably forgotten the details.

A reader wants an answer
John, in your last FR you mention a pitcher by name of Jim Owens. Where was he from? Just curious as I knew a J. O. .
Keep the good words coming. Stanka did a good one on you!!! That's what FRIENDS are for? Casey-- in Kansas City.
Ed reply:
Owens was from Gifford, PA

Potpourri:
There are always a variety of notes from widows, children and grandchildren of former players. Of course, fans from that era as well as “new” converts send material. A recemt mailing, from a fan of the Flash Report, contained a photo of Norma Maring throwing out the first pitch at an event on August 16. The caption read “Norma Maring, a baseball historian and namesake of the Maring Aquatic Center, throws out the ceremonial first pitch at Dollar Day at the Diamond Saturday at Katy Park.”
Katy Park is where the Chanute Owls/Athletics played their home games from 1946-1950. Norma was the life guard at the pool next to the ballpark and in those five years of Chanute baseball she missed one home game and that was due to what her mother suspected was an appendicitis attack, but it wasn’t. Had it not been for a concerned mother, Norma would have seen every home game played by that KOM franchise.
A little north of Chanute came a note from Joan Speake in Topeka. She looks at my photos posted on the Flickr site and believes that her wood carving husband, Bob, might want to use my bird photos as inspiration for some of his carvings.

On March 21, 2020 this note was received. “Hi John: Just wanted to let you know that the KOM League has lost another. My dad Russell White passed away on March 19, 2020 at the good ole age of 93. He has gone to be with his Irish Love.
Wish you the best and we'll continue to read your reports as long as you send them Shawna White-Clough
Ed comment:
A message of condolence was sent to Shawna and the reporting of her father’s death was delayed until there was an obituary to share. The obituary came out on April 9 and on that same day this note was received from baseball necrologist, Jack Morris. “Here’s an obituary for a guy which says he was on the Iola Cubs. I’m assuming he didn’t get into a game since I can’t find him in Baseball Reference or in the TSN contract cards.
www.legacy.com/obituaries/tribnet/obituary.aspx?n=russell...
Obituary
Russell White Russell White (93) went to be with the Lord on March 19, 2020 of natural causes, joining his loving wife Lauretta.
He was born April 27, 1926 to Harry and Juanita White. He was born in Oakville, WA and eventually ended up in Gig Harbor. In 1946 he was signed by the Chicago Cubs and sent to their farm club in Visalia, CA.
He also spent time with the Iola Cubs which was part of the KOM league. Unfortunately, family wanted him back home so unhappily he returned. Upon returning home he got in touch with the love of his life Lauretta (Murphy) and they were married in August of 1948, before her passing in 2017 they had been married for 69 years.
He worked several jobs before being hired by the Peninsula Light Company where he retired from after 38 years. He enjoyed traveling and camping with Lauretta and would end up on some back road to their next destination. They traveled most of the United States, Ireland, Wales, Mexico to name a few. He was a very devoted member of St. John's Episcopal Church.
He is survived by his sister Kay (Vern) Kolves and his four children, Wendy (Alan) Lentz, Dennis White, Denise (Jim) Matthews and Shawna (Tom) Clough. He had 5 grandchildren, Chris, Marci (Ty), Jason, Chad and Tim and 1 great granddaughter Danika, along with several nieces and nephews that he adored. He was preceded in death by his wife Lauretta and brother Jess. A celebration of life will be held at a later time, after the pandemic is under control.
Published in News Tribune (Tacoma) on Apr. 9, 2020
A rather long e-mail was sent in reply to Jack Morris in which it was documented Russell White appeared in three games for the 1946 Iola, Kansas Cubs. Contact was first made with his daughter and later him in 2016. A number of communications went back and forth over the intervening four years. The account of locating the White family can be found in this Flash Report: oldtimerbaseball.com/hall_09.php?year=09&id=02 There are many references to contacts with the White family in the intervening four years and can be shared if anyone needs a reference as to the Flash Report in which they appeared. This site features a photo of Russell and his wife. www.flickr.com/photos/60428361@N07/28643236921/
In the first story written about Russell White he provided many interesting stories not the least of which happened when he was a young man. Of all the people with whom I have ever conversed with regarding baseball, or any other subject, I have never heard of anyone living in a “community” like White described. Go back and read the article and then report to me if you found the “naked truth.”
Being aware that a few baseball researchers peruse this publication it was decided to summarize Russell White’s time at Iola. This note was shared with Jack Morris. “This is Russell Austin White's career in a nutshell. Pitched against Carthage May 23-- 4 hits four runs--no decision. May 17 beat Miami 5-2. Also pitched at Bartlesville prior to May 17-no decision.”
Ed comment:
Receiving an obituary for April 9 has a real impact on Yours truly. It on that date, in 1947, that my father passed away due to ruptured appendix and the lack of penicillin to treat it. For 73 years it has always been my belief that the Hall family, led by my mother and her four children suffered worse on that day than anyone else on the planet.
On the morning of April 10 of this year I decided to look back on the events of April 9, 1947 and found that towns in Northwest Oklahoma, Southwest Kansas and the Texas Panhandle suffered devastation that numerical dwarfed what the Hall’s experienced that same day in Carthage, Missouri. Towns like Woodward, Oklahoma suffered immensely but eventually returned to “normal.” In the same manner the Hall family picked up the pieces and went on about trying to make it. Some 73 years after losing my father I have a reminder of him every day for his tombstone resides just a few feet away from where this report is being written. Don’t call me a weirdo until you ask how that came to be.
So my social commentary relates to the current status of the health of the world. This is not the worst thing that has ever happened, by a long shot and like tornados and deaths from 1947, this too shall pass. .

Death of Ewing Turner—Ponca Dodger
obits.ocregister.com/obituaries/orangecounty/obituary.asp...
Ewing passed away peacefully at his home in Scottsdale, AZ on April 1, 2020; he was 90 years old. Ewing Turner was born on June 28, 1929 in West Plains, MO (Ed note: His parents were living in Dry Branch in Howell County) and was raised in Long Beach, CA. Though Ewing was an only child; he had several first aunts and uncles, along with cousins. Ewing was born into a depression era family to his father, Everett and mother, Lillian.
The Turners were of very modest means and young Ewing was restless at a very early age. He was an excellent student, athlete, and woodworking craftsman. Ewing attended Long Beach Poly where he was an outstanding football, basketball, and track sprinter. His true love was playing baseball. Ewing was an All-CIF catcher at Long Beach Poly and had full ride scholarships to both USC and the University of Arizona.
Ewing, bypassed college and was signed by Hall of Famer, Branch Rickey, of the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. In the summer of 1949 at the age of 20, he met the love of his life, Geraldine Michelick. A whirlwind romance ensued, one year later they were married and the Turners were on a fast track to the big leagues. However, when they arrived home from their honeymoon on September 30, 1950, Ewing was drafted into the U.S. Army to serve on the front lines in the Korean War. Faith, hope and prayers brought Sergeant Turner back in 1952 and he resumed his career with the Dodgers. Ewing and Gerrie traveled the country in pursuit of their dreams from Vero Beach, FL to Ponca City, OK, Pueblo, CO, Mobile, AL and many other stops in between.
In 1955, Ewing and Gerrie, with a toddler and another baby on the way, decided to retire from baseball to move back to Long Beach, California. With his baseball bonus money, Ewing bought Curley's Cafe‚ in Signal Hill, still operating to this day as it has since 1932. The Turner's settled into a small home in Signal Hill. With one more move to Long Beach, they eventually purchased their dream home in 1960 on Rowena Drive in Rossmoor, CA. With 4 children to raise, Ewing became the ultimate super dad and helped construct the St. Hedwig's Little League fields in Rossmoor and became a mentor and coach to many young dads that had never played or coached.
Ewing and Gerrie also expanded their business ventures into other businesses: Turfside Liquor in Cypress, Automotive Salvage Yards Admore and Allco Auto Wrecking and Signal Savings & Loan. Ewing also became a Steering Committee Member of the Long Beach Second Guessers Professional Baseball Players Association of America and served as President (and Lifetime Honorary Member) of the Signal Hill Police Officers Association a philanthropic organization from 1978-80.
Ewing's work ethic on the baseball diamond, in the community, or running his businesses, was unrivaled out the door at 4:30 AM and home by 7:00 PM; he loved running Curley's. He always said he had the "best customers in the world" and he treated them like family. Great food, world famous chili and a stiff drink was their brand, no menu ever, daily blue plate specials prepared by his Aunt Ruth. His check cashing business and service to the oil field roustabouts was legendary. The locals knew it took some gumption to run Curley's, an occasional argument and bare-knuckled brawl might ensue over a lost wager but Ewing was there to restore order.
A friend to all, enemy to none, Ewing also served as the official lender to those in need. For 35 years, on a handshake, Ewing was there for his customers covering payroll or issuing credit when times were tough in the oilfields. As a salute to his customers, for 35 years, Ewing organized an annual Dove Hunting trip for the Signal Hill Curley's crew to Gila Bend, Arizona.
Ewing was known as the unofficial mayor of Gila Bend over the Labor Day Weekend. He would rent out the entire Space Age and Payless Motels and was legendary for his sharpshooting skills and hollering "my bird" before his epic opening night dove feed. Ewing and Gerrie became avid golfers in the early 1970's and convinced several other neighborhood couples to join Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach. Known as the "Hic and Hackers," Gerrie and Ewing organized many golf trips over the years and traveled with their friends to Hawaii, Palm Springs, Ojai, San Diego and Las Vegas for memorable golf outings. From 1975 to 1984, Ewing was the weekend chef to many of the Turner kids' friends. "You are always welcome to stay for dinner," our Dad would say and eat they would! He fed half of the Los Al Griffin football team over a ten-year span from 1969 to 1979. Filet Mignon and Lobster was always on the menu and grilled to order. Mom & Dad were always up for a celebration and party-planning was their specialty.
Birthdays, graduations, costume parties, Rose Bowl, Super Bowl and the Turner's famous Curley's chili "joke" parties were among the most popular parties, but their favorite party was a Cocktail Party! Family vacations were a big priority for Ewing and Gerrie. From Donner Lake, Mammoth, Hawaii, Bass Lake, trips to Colorado, Mexico, Canada, Lake Arrowhead and finally a "cabin" the 'Hillbilly Hilton' in Canyon Lake, CA. After the kids went off to college, Gerrie and Ewing traveled extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Europe with many of their closest friends for many years. Ewing and Gerrie sold their Rossmoor home in 1995 and moved to Canyon Lake to set up shop for the next nine years on their 13th tee box home at Canyon Lake Country Club. In 2004, Gerrie and Ewing were on the move again to Phoenix, AZ to settle into their sunset years. Mom & Dad loved their Arizona sunsets in the Sonoran Desert.
Ewing is now at home, resting in peace with the Lord with his beloved wife, and the many dogs they raised, including their especially cute "Cupcake" who passed on the same day as Ewing. As parents, they always said "Dogs go to heaven, too." Ewing is survived by: his daughters, Dr. Pamelee Turner Santesteban of Scottsdale, AZ, Jana Lynn Turner of Newport Beach; his sons, Kerry Ewing Turner and daughter-in-law Alicia of Rossmoor, Kevin Michael Turner and daughter-in-law Perrin of Coto De Caza; grandchildren Austin Fairbourn, Ashley Turner, Patrick, Riley, and Lily Turner; grandson-in-law Charlie, and great-granddaughters, Turner Marie and Jennings James Fairbourn. He is also survived by his third adoptive son, Robert Harrison Bowles, of Denver, CO and wife Lynn and their four children.
In lieu of flowers, Ewing is being honored with donations to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (www.stjude.org/donate). Ewing's life was celebrated with military honors, an intimate family Catholic funeral mass in Scottsdale, AZ on Saturday, April 4, 2020 with interment at Holy Redeemer Cemetery in Phoenix, AZ.---Published in Orange County Register on Apr. 10, 2020
Ed comment:
When news arrives of the death of any former KOM leaguer an attempt is made to inform his teammates from the year(s) he played. In the case of Ewing Turner contact was made with Dick McCoy in Omaha, Nebr. Here is the reply from Molly McCoy. “Just opened our iPad and saw your news so glad Dick had gotten to visit with him. That was a very nice obit of his interesting life. We are getting along well in our new life style but miss seeing our family. We do take a ride a couple times a week maybe DQ and then back home. Hope you and your family are doing well.” Love Molly and Dick

Note from faithful reader-- Bill Clark
This is a note from former major league scout, Bill Clark.
I just read the latest Flash Report and continue to be intrigued by your ability to dig out guys that have been forgotten – or never really known – for 70 years. I’ve been doing a bit of it on Ancestry, but in regard to historical data on folks who have been dead in our county for 150 years. I’m beginning to find my way around. Old dogs do learn new tricks./ And I’m damned sure old. I’ll be 88 soon. That means I can be played like a piano.
I’m still grinding out five columns a week and, even though I’m staying at home in an effort to reach Age 88 and beyond with all my systems working, I have no problem conjuring up something of interest – at least to me. I’m about the only one who reads them.
Tomorrow’s bird column about an eight-day escape from home to bird a dozen different spots in mid-Missouri occupied only by the birds and the sole birder – ma way to relieve the boredom of four walls and a computer.
Keep on sending KOM League news, even if only you and I are reading these days.
OL Clark
Ed comment:
With the foregoing in mind these are some tidbits of information, recently uncovered, that will be of little interest to most readers but might be what it takes to get Ol Clark through this time of Covid whatever number it is.
It dawned on Yours truly, in recent days, that this forum might be putting out as much news as outlets such as ESPN and the sports departments of FOX, NBC, ABC, CBS et. al. At least what you find in this report is true, mostly.

Leading the age parade
The lone reader of these reports in Canada, Barry McMahon, mentioned that with the passing of Shannon Deniston who was the oldest living former KOM leaguer. That honor now rests with Robert Field of Hutchinson, Kansas who played for the 1946 Miami, Oklahoma Blues. The following are those born in 1922-23-25 and 1925.
Robert E. Field-- 8/27/1922 (Miami 1946)
Willis Frank Carruth-- 9/30/1922 (Bartlesville 1948)
Ruel WilliamWaggener--10/23/1923 (Pittsburg and Bartlesville 1946 then Bartlesville 1947)
Jasper Bono-- 3/15/1924 (Chanute 1946)
Nicholas Kucher --11/1/1924 (Ponca City 1947)
John Lawrence Bulkley --1/5/1925 (Chanute 1946-47)
William Edward McProuty --2/27/1925 (Independence 1947)
Robert J. Kapinus-- 4/10/1925 (Iola 1946)
Peter S. Maropis--9/27/1925 (Bartlesville 1948)
To my knowledge neither Jasper Bono and Nicholas Kucher have middle names. If they had one now it might well be “Longevity.”
One the opposite end of the spectrum the youngest living former KOM leaguers were born in 1933. There are 28 men who have or will reach the 87 mile marker this year. Those born from August to December are the youngest of the group. They are:
Robert L. Zuccarini-- 12/15/1933 (1951 Pittsburg Browns)
Bobby Uriah Elkins-- 12/9/1933 (1950 Ponca City Dodgers)
Arvil Lee Coonradt—12/6/1933 (1952 Ponca City Dodgers)
James Joseph Cesanek—11/30/1933 (1952 Iola Indians)
Theodore James Downey—11/6/1953 (1952 Ponca City Dodgers)
Thomas J. Guderian—10/14/1933 (1952 Blackwell Broncos)
Joseph Daniel Parisi—9/25/1933 (1952 Ponca City Dodgers)
Vernon Leroy Summers—9/10/1933 (1952 Bartlesville/Pittsburg Pirates)
William Ellsworth Eastburn—9/4/1933 (1951 Carthage Cubs)
Les G. Machen Jr.—8/9/1933 (1952 Ponca City Dodgers)
Joseph C. “Corky” Buckstead—8/5/1933 (1951 Bartlesville Pirates 1952 Bartlesville/Pittsburg)

A reader enjoyed a recent tale
John: That story of the young man telling Miss XXXX, the roving teacher, that if she passed away he would be the ugliest person in the world was hysterical! I don't suppose you know if Miss XXXX continued to teach, or if after receiving that candid remark from one of her students, she tendered her resignation and joined a carnival as the world's ugliest woman?
Regardless John, keep up the good work. During these very trying times, your reports offer a great diversion from all the negativity in our lives. Sincerely, Leo Downey
Ed reply:
The Miss XXXX was about the meanest teacher I ever encountered. She had been the principal at one of the grade schools and she was finally relegated to roving status in her last year or two of employment
Once, in our geography class, she came upon a boy who had his book opened to the map of the world. He had a pencil with string tied to it. The string was touching the Pacific Ocean. Miss XXXX was looking over his shoulder and inquired as to what he was doing. He turned to her with a shhh! and said, “Be quiet before you scare the fish away.”
Miss XXXX had long boney fingers and enjoyed placing them under students collar bones and pulling upward. At my 50th high school reunion the brother of the boy who was caught fishing in class told me a tale I don’t recall. He said that I once warned Miss XXXX if she grabbed my collarbone that she would have my mother to deal with and she wouldn’t like the result. I can’t believe I said it but if I did I’m proud of myself.
Comment:
This is basically for the readers who attended Carthage schools at the same time as Yours truly. Miss XXXX parents came to the United States, from Ireland. Miss XXXX’s father was a tailor who passed away in 1925. By that time his daughter had reached the age of 41 and thus when my age group arrived on the scene Miss XXXX was already of retirement age and not much in the frame of mind to tolerate much from students of my generation.

Robert Glynn Carter www.findagrave.com/memorial/8127137/robert-glynn-carter
Until recent days I was never able to track the fate or whereabouts of Robert Glynn Carter. He caught, briefly, for the 1952 Ponca City Dodgers but made a living scouting for them for many years. He was born July 1, 1932 in Downsville, Louisiana. He was assigned to Ponca City from the Valdosta, Georgia club on July 15, 1952.
After his playing days, which ended in 1956, he scouted for the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1958—1965 and then spent two years, 1967-68 doing the same job for the Philadelphia Phillies
Carter passed away July 17, 2003 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
This is a link to Robert Glynn Carter’s Sporting News card: digital.la84.org/digital/collection/p17103coll3/id/15035/...
In reviewing these cards just remember that there are omissions and other mistakes on them at times. The Item Description section is how the person summarizing the card deciphered it. Some names on the item description are far from the real thing. For example I tried finding Travis Kunce of the Miami Owls. I won’t go into the details. However, I pointed out how that got interpreted from the original card. It was documented and sent to Jack Morris of baseball necrology fame and he sent it along to the research group to make the change.
Ed note:
Carter’s photo is the one accompanying this report on the Flickr site: It was taken while he was in high school at Ouachita High School in Monroe, Louisiana.

Larry Glenn Smith
This gentleman was another member of the 1952 Ponca City Dodgers who they released on May 10. That is shown on his Sporting News card. It appears he went to Abbeyville, Louisiana of the Evangeline league for the rest of the season and after that his baseball career was nothing more than insertions on an index card kept in St. Louis by the Spinks and Sons. Peruse this one: digital.la84.org/digital/collection/p17103coll3/id/132212...
Unfortunately, there was nothing on his Sporting News card to indicate his place of birth and as yet I haven’t deciphered anything on Ancestry.com that would provide definitive information.

Wayne Parge may have been Wayne Parks—but probably not
Another fellow who showed up in Ponca City for a brief visit in 1952 was a gentleman only identified in an Associated Press line score. It showed up as Parg, Parq, Parge and Parks without a first name. Over the years a search was made for persons of that age range and the closest one ever found was Wayne Parge, a right handed pitcher from Malaka Township, Iowa.
Nothing definitive was ever found on this person after he left his Iowa farm home. In recent days an attempt was made to find someone fitting that profile and this was located. digital.la84.org/digital/collection/p17103coll3/id/173852... The person on this card would have been the property of the St. Louis Browns. When he was on the inactive list he could have possibly been sent to Ponca City for a “look see.” However, if I attempted to win this case in the court of law, with that amount of evidence, I’d lose my case, big time. In short this guy has me stumped.

It wasn’t Boerger but rather Boeger
A quarter century ago the name of Gerald Paul Boerger was added to the KOM league database on the basis that he was signed by the New York Giants out of St. Louis, Mo. and sent to Chanute, Kansas on July 1, 1948. He lasted until July 3 and his KOM league career was over. However, years of searching produced no trail on the fellow. Then, on a hunch the spelling of his last name was “tinkered” with and a search was made for Gerald Paul Boeger. This was found on the Internet: Gerald Paul Boeger Obituary. “It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Gerald Paul Boeger (Fort Myers, Florida), born in Saint Louis, Missouri, who passed away on January 31, 2018, at the age of 89, leaving to mourn family and friends. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family. You may also light a candle in honor of Gerald Paul Boeger or send a beautiful flower arrangement to the funeral service. The link to the obituary is: www.everhere.com/us/obituaries/fl/fort-myers/gerald-paul-...
Mr. Boeger was born January 13, 1929 in St. Louis. His Sporting News card, after his short stint in Chanute was filled with: being released, put on disabled list, reinstated, released, placed on suspended list, reinstated and released. Here is the document verifying what was just shared. digital.la84.org/digital/collection/p17103coll3/id/13196/...

Flash Report loses another reader
It is with a heavy heart that I must pass along the news about Doc Martin. He is home with Jesus as of March 19th. He died four days after his 99 birthday. Clara Dee Martin-Omaha, Nebraska.
Ed comment:
Not many people, aside from steel guitar aficionados would know that name. However, he was a legend back in the days of Red Foley’s nationally syndicated “Ozark Jubilee” aired in the 1950’s from Springfield, Mo. Yours truly was aware of Doc for one of my grade and high school classmates lived a block from me and was his brother-in-law.
A number of years ago contact was made with Doc and one thing led to another and he became the recipient of these reports. I think some of you might have an interest in knowing more about him. His given name was Ulyan Alan Martin. There was no obituary filed for him, according to his widow, and in its place a trio of links are being shared. The first link is a television interview he did in 2016 in Springfield, Mo. The second one is him playing on a live performance of the Ozark Jubilee in the late 1950’s and the third contains a clip of three famous men going inside the Jewell Theater in Springfield in 1958. One of the men is the greatest baseball whoever played in that town (or any other for that matter), the other is the most successful cowboy star of all-time and the third is that of Pat Boone’s father-in-law. You will have to watch closely or you’ll miss it. But, I suspect all of you have time on your hands these days. If any of you suffer from anxiety or hyper activity I’ll give you a hint. The clip of the three famous men is around the seven minute mark of the third clip.

When my friend from grade and high school attended the Ozark Jubilee with his brother-in-law, Doc Martin, Red Foley’s youngest daughter took a liking to him. We’ll call that friend Darrell, for that was his name. Darrell always claimed he was never too fond of Red’s daughter but Red had an older one who caught the eye of Pat Boone and they married and he and his wife had daughter (Debbie) who enjoyed a fine singing career. I think Debbie made some money singing “You Light Up My Life.” www.google.com/search?q=Debbie+Boone+You+LIght+up+my+life...
In my humble opinion this was Red Foley’s best song. I’m sure the group backing him on this was Elmo Fagg and the Blue Ridge Quartet. www.google.com/search?q=red+foley+peace+in+the+valley&...
While we are on the topic of hit tunes of the Foley/Boone family I suppose then one Pat Boone got from Richard Penniman (Little Richard) was the most rambunctious of them all: www.google.com/search?q=pat+boone+tutti+frutti&oq=Pat...
It is recommended you listen to all those songs and thus take your mind off either the shortcoming of this writing effort or the miserable news of the current health issue around the planet. In case you wish to compare Little Richard to Pat Boone on the Tutti Frutti tune I’m sure you know how to Google it.
______________________________________________________________________________
The report continues.
This is name dropping time. Many years later Yours truly encountered Pat Boone in a book shop at a major airport. In those instances you don’t want to say something stupid like “Oh, you’re Pat Boone, aren’t’ you?” We exchanged pleasantries and I inquired about the young daughter of Red Foley who dated Darrell. Boone was surprised that such a question was asked and then filled me in on Jenny’s whereabouts and family.

Another reader was lost in recent days and it hit close to home
It is my belief that the recent articles on Shannon Deniston caught the eye of many readers. One of my late readers knew me about as well and as long as anyone on this distribution list. The news of his passing was shared by his widow. He was my last living first cousin. There is a whole lot I could say about Jimmy Ray Harrison but will let the following link do it for me. Without doubt he had the most eventful life of anyone in the Hall/Harrison clan from which I sprung. I taught him everything I knew about martial arts which was nothing. I now introduce you to “Cousin Jim.”

The 1901 Census has a George G G Chapman, aged 16 and a single Millers Son \Journeyman, living near The Lion, Panxworth, with his parents, James, (aged 47 and a Miller from Claxton) and Jane Ellen, (aged 48 and from Salhouse). Also resident were sister Evelyn L. (aged 19, born Panxworth), and brother James E, (aged 7 and born Panxworth), as well as an elderly couple, the Mayletts who boarded with them.

The extension to Hersin Communal Cemetery was begun by French troops, who made over 100 burials, and was taken over by Commonwealth troops and field ambulances in March 1916. It was used until October 1918. The extension contains 224 Commonwealth burials of the First World War; many of the graves are of engineers, mostly from tunneling companies.

Canadian Tunnellers played a big role in the success of the attack at Vimy Ridge on the 9th April 1917, where a number of simultaneous explosion tore the german front line apart. Sapper Chapman may well have been involved in those and the subsequent actions that petered out in the costly Battle of Arras.

The 1901 Census has a 7 year old James living “near the Broad” Ranworth, having been born at Trunch. This was the household of his parents, James, (aged 35, a Gamekeeper from East Runton), and Lillian, (aged 30 from Northrepps). Also there were brother Jack, (aged 2, born Ranworth), and sisters Charlotte, (aged 6, born Trunch), Gladys, (age 9, born Southrepps), Jessie, (aged 11, born Southrepps), and Maud, (aged 4, born Ranworth).
By 1911 our 17 year old James is registered in the district of Bourne, Lincolnshire.
The 6th Battalion was one of the New Army units that had its first real taste of war when it landed at Suvla Bay on the 6th August 1915. It was intended to unlock the stalemate of the campaign by taking the enemy from behind. Instead, due to ineffectual leadership and poor planning, the troops stayed on the beach, suffered casualties at the hands of a few armed Turkish policeman, (very ably led) and would remain pinned down for the rest of the campaign. Meanwhile at Helles, a number of diversionary attacks intended to draw reserves away from the Suvla area led to a very high death toll. The phrase “Lions led by Donkeys” springs to mind.

A scan of a press cutting regarding the sinking of the transport ship Royal Edward, with a loss of over 1,000 troops and crew. The thread that follows contains a couple of links relating to the sinking.
1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t...
A passage from the History of Norfolk Regiment tells the rest of the story. Colonel Tonge refers to the loss of 300 men, the best draft that ever left Felixstowe. These men volunteered to join the Essex Regiment and appear to have constituted the drafts of June 23 and July 24 1915. They were part of the reinforcements carried by the transport "Royal Edward" which was torpedoed and sunk in the Aegean Sea on August 14th 1915. She sank two and a half minutes after the torpedo struck her.Of the 1,400 men she carried only 600 were saved, and the drowned included all but 18 of the 300 Norfolk men. The men who had had a route march just before leaving Alexandria, were waiting on deck for foot inspection at about 9.20 am. Their lifebelts were down below, and when the ship was unexpectedly struck most of them ran below to fetch the belts. Owing to the ship's sudden heeling over and sinking, these never got up again. Those who escaped were picked up by a hospital ship which responded to the s.o.s. signal.

From the Bedfords War Diary.
30 Jul 1916 At 3.30 a.m. "A" Company moved up into its forming up position along the SUNKEN Road just East of the British Front Line Trench, ready for the attack at ZERO HOUR. At ZERO HOUR the Company attacked the MALTZ HORN FARM and Trench and captured it. They attacked in two lined, 1/2 Company extended in each Line. The attack was a Brilliant success, from 70 to 80 Germans being killed in the Trench, and one Prisoner taken. The Farm itself was found not to be held. As soon as "A" Company had cleared the MALTZ HORN GERMAN Trench, they were ordered to rejoin the Battalion in our original front line. This they did and suffered about 30 Casualties in the whole operation. 2nd Lieutenant H.C.LOVELY was wounded in this Operation at 4.55 a.m. Orders had been previously given to the Battalion that as soon as the 17th Bn.Kings Liverpool Regiment had moved up to support the attacking Battalions, the Battalion were to move up into their positions in the Trenches just South of TRONES WOOD. This was done at about 5.45 a.m. The attack was severely hampered by a dense fog causing the attacking Battalions to lose touch. At about 6.30 a.m., Officers Commanding 17th and 20th Kings Liverpool called for reinforcements. Orders were given for "B" and "C" Companies to move up in support, but these Companies were stopped by the O.C. 17th Bn.Lings Liverpool Regiment on reaching him, as he could get no information from Officer Commanding 19th and 20th Kings Liverpool Regiment as to here support was required. These two Companies therefore remained with Officer Commanding 17th Bn.Kings Liverpool Regiment. At about 6.45 a.m. Headquarters moved up to the HAIRPIN BEND and joined the Officer Commanding 20th Bn. Kings Liverpool Regiment. As no information could be given by him as to what was happening in front, "B" & "C" Companies were ordered to stay where they were with O.C. 17th Bn.Kings Liverpool Regiment. At 6.45 a.m. Lieutenant H.A.CHAMEN was seriously wounded. At 9 a.m. Lieutenant J.T.COE and 2nd Lieut.A.L.GORDON were wounded. At 10 a.m. Lieutenant W.WHITE with "A" Company were sent off to get touch with the French. They got touch with them and found that they had also been held up and were digging in. "A" Company therefore dug in on their left just SOUTH of MALTZ HORN FARM. At about 1.30 p.m. orders were received to consolidate the MALTZ HORN RIDGE from ARROW HEAD COPSE to the French Left. At 11.30 a.m. 2nd Lieutenant F.A.SLOAN was wounded. "D" Company under Captain L.F.BEAL were sent to connect up from MALTZ HORN FARM to the left of "A" Company, this they did and dug in. "B" and "C" Companies under Captain R.O.WYNNE moved off at 3 p.m. and dug a NEW TRENCH 300 yards long connecting up ARROW HEAD COPSE to the North end of the GERMAN MALTZ HORN Trench. The Companies were well dug in by 7 p.m. All Units that could be collected at HAIRPIN BEND were sent off at 1 p.m. to hold the old German Front Line. Trench running from MALTZ HORN FARM Northwards towards ARROW HEAD COPSE. By 7 p.m. the MALTZ HORN RIDGE was well consolidated, the whole position being heavily shelled throughout the day. At about 8 p.m. Orders were received that the Brigade were to be relieved. the Battalion was relieved by the 4th Bn.Kings Own Royal Lancaster Regiment, Commanded by Lt.Colonel SWAINSON. The relief commenced at about 2 a.m. and completed by 6 a.m. The Battalion then withdrew to our old Bivouac at 10 a.m. on the 31st July, 1916.

31 Jul 1916 - The Citadel Battalion in Bivouac at F.15.b. Reference Map 62.d. N.E. Speech made to the Battalion by Major General J.S.M.SHEA, C.B., D.S.O., Commanding 30th Division, on 31st July, 1916. "I have come here this morning to thank you all for the way that you fought yesterday. It may seem to most of you that after doing all you could, you were only successful in capturing a small amount of ground. This however does not in any way represent the results of your hard fighting. It came to my knowledge only this morning, that eleven of the freshest German Battalions (The 12th Bavarian reserve) had just been brought up on the front which you attacked. There were only 8 Battalions actually fighting for the Division, and judging from the number of prisoners taken, and the number of casualties known to have been inflicted on the enemy, it is clear that you were instrumental in completely preventing what would have been a very strong counter attack on the Bantams in TRONES WOOD. The Army Commander has told me to thank you for him, and to his thanks I add mine and my hearty congratulations. Colonel Poyntz I congratulate you on your Battalion and on your men."

Edward Henry Ward signed his enlistment papers on the 29th December 1914, giving his trade as Farm hand. He stated he had served previously but had been discharged on ground of “interic” (Enteric) fever. His mother, Eliza was given as his next of kin.
After basic training he was transferred to the 2nd Battalion and went to Gallipoli with them. In mid July he was evacuated, with what looks like “Scabies” although other reports describe a condition that might best be called “Genital Warts“, re-joining his unit on the 5th August 1915. On the 14th February 1916 he was transferred to the 54th Battalion, then stationed at Tel-El_Kebir, where he was promoted to Driver. The unit moved to France, with Edward arriving at Marseilles on the 27.6.16.
Post war end he seems to have a few discipline problems, being found drunk on duty, and overstaying leave. He was eventually discharged in October 1919.
54th Battalion formed part of the 5th Division AIF.
