05 September 2012, Chamwino, Tanzania - Input trade fair hosted by the Chamwino District council and facilitated by FAO. For the first time 400 farmers from 5 villages were granted trade vouchers by FAO that enabled them to purchase the quality declared seeds and farm equipment from the agro dealers at the trade fair.
A series of droughts in central Tanzania has challenged the food security of rural farmers and reduced the availability of quality seeds and crop varieties, increasing the level of poverty in the region. In response, The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) launched the Disaster Response and Preparedness to Drought project, funded by DFID, to provide the basic stock of quality declared seeds and support the farmers groups. By using seed-based response mechanisms and good agricultural practices, FAO and DFID are enhancing the capacity of farming communities to prepare for and respond to climate variability.
FAO Project: OSRO/URT/001/UK - Emergency supply of maize seeds to drought-affected farmers in Tanzania /(New phase) Disaster Response and Preparedness to Drought. - 2012. Objectives: The general objective of this project is to provide emergency seed support to farming families in 34 districts affected by drought in order to avert food insecurity and possible starvation. The specific objective of this project is to distribute a total of 1 592 tonnes of seed to 159 200 food insecure households to cover an estimated 64 427 hectares of land with an expected yield of 96 640 tonnes of maize.

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue and Speaker Paul Ryan meet with Blain Supply store managers from across the country, and then speak with the news media, at Blain Supply, in Janesville, WI, on Aug. 3, 2017. Secretary Perdue begins a five-state RV tour today. This “Back to Our Roots” Tour, will gather input on the 2018 Farm Bill and increasing rural prosperity, at the Wisconsin State Fair Park, in West Allis, near Milwaukee, MN, on Aug. 3, 2017. Along the way, Perdue will meet with farmers, ranchers, foresters, producers, students, governors, Members of Congress, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) employees, and other stakeholders. This is the first of two RV tours the secretary will undertake this summer. “The ‘Back to our Roots’ Farm Bill and rural prosperity RV listening tour will allow us to hear directly from people in agriculture across the country, as well as our consumers – they are the ones on the front lines of American agriculture and they know best what the current issues are,” Perdue said. “USDA will be intimately involved as Congress deliberates and formulates the 2018 Farm Bill. We are committed to making the resources and the research available so that Congress can make good facts-based, data-driven decisions. It’s important to look at past practices to see what has worked and what has not worked, so that we create a farm bill for the future that will be embraced by American agriculture in 2018.” This first RV Tour will feature stops in five states: Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana. For social media purposes, Secretary Perdue’s Twitter account (@SecretarySonny) will be using the hashtag #BackToOurRoots. USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.

The Bunny edition with ears. Lots of booboos I have to solve.
give me inputs, please. :) I know should have better photo.. I am not entirely happy with the ears.. It is angled back I see, have to fix for next edition. But I have to buy more stabilizer for embroidery machine suitable for this. I have contacted the seller for the rare awesome stabilizer and she finally replied to me and she knew what I meant and will return to me, yay. :)
The reason of that the normal stabilizer did not work for this is that it worked for the floral embroidery on the helmets, but now with this design it is much more intricate (and time consuming to stitch .....) with outlines that have to be at correct place... With poor stabilizer it got warped and lopsided.
When I have figured out the better version I think I am going to give this helmet away as a lottery. But definitely not here on flickr.

The arrest of 10 CPI{M) acrivists along with 22 rifles and stockpiles of ammunition as well as police helmets too catches the state government on the back-foot as it had been repeatedly claiming that the 'resisters' had been stockpiling arms.

Continuing to explore B&W imaging along the cote d'Azur.
Technically I've found that moving Zone 6 as Sony sensors record it and creating an input correction curve post-demosaic that lowers it to Zone 5 sets the kind of deep tones I'm looking for.
As a side note: Sony sensors are very very quiet in the shadow regions. There is so much usable information deep into the -EV range.
When "testers" and commenters across the internet make claims about dynamic range I see what they report to be 1 to 2 stops narrower dynamic range than what I see. The difference is that I rise the mid-tones in my Digital Zone System luminosity curves to match 0EV to Zone 5, which, it turns out, usefully raises the shadows down to 020202hex - where I take things to be pure black (I can't see any difference between 000000hex and 0202020hex on my displays).
My Sony A7 can record 14.5EV to 15EV of usable f-stop range. Yes. It's true. Same with an A6300 that I have. The A6000, NEX-7, NEX-5T, and A5000 all record just about 14EV dynamic range.
The A7RII I recently picked up looks like it's good for between 14EV and 14.5EV. This surprised me as I thought backside illumination might set a more solid base noise level. Perhaps it's all those pixels or the way they set the analog to digital converters?
In any event, I would really like to try a Sony A7S (original model) to see how it does. Anyone have one and have a few minutes to record some RAW data for me? Or loan me for 10 minutes so I could run my input correction curve calculations? These cameras are getting cheap enough that I might even be able to buy a used copy myself. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for one.

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.

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.

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.

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.

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue begins a five-state RV tour, titled the “Back to Our Roots” Tour, to gather input on the 2018 Farm Bill and increasing rural prosperity, at the Wisconsin State Fair Park, in West Allis, near Milwaukee, MN, on Aug. 3, 2017. Along the way, Perdue will meet with farmers, ranchers, foresters, producers, students, governors, Members of Congress, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) employees, and other stakeholders. This is the first of two RV tours the secretary will undertake this summer. “The ‘Back to our Roots’ Farm Bill and rural prosperity RV listening tour will allow us to hear directly from people in agriculture across the country, as well as our consumers – they are the ones on the front lines of American agriculture and they know best what the current issues are,” Perdue said. “USDA will be intimately involved as Congress deliberates and formulates the 2018 Farm Bill. We are committed to making the resources and the research available so that Congress can make good facts-based, data-driven decisions. It’s important to look at past practices to see what has worked and what has not worked, so that we create a farm bill for the future that will be embraced by American agriculture in 2018.” This first RV Tour will feature stops in five states: Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana. For social media purposes, Secretary Perdue’s Twitter account (@SecretarySonny) will be using the hashtag #BackToOurRoots. USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.

The first imagery from NOAA’s GOES-17 Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) made its public debut
on May 31, 2018.
GOES-17 took this stunning, full-disk snapshot of Earth’s Western Hemisphere from its checkout position at 12:00 p.m. EDT on May 20, 2018. GOES-17 observes Earth from an equatorial vantage point approximately 22,300 miles above the surface.
While experts continue to address an issue with the cooling system of the satellite’s imager, new views from GOES-17 show that its ABI is providing beautiful – and useful – imagery of the Western Hemisphere. This imagery was created using two visible bands (blue and red) and one near-infrared “vegetation” band that are functional with the current cooling system performance.
The imagery also incorporates input from one of the ABI’s “longwave” infrared bands that is functional during a portion of the day despite the cooling system issue.
When combined as a “GeoColor” image, depicting the Earth in vivid detail and colors intuitive to human vision, these bands provide valuable information for monitoring dust, haze, smoke, clouds, fog, winds and vegetation. ABI imagery also provides information on cloud motion, helping meteorologists monitor and forecast severe weather and hurricanes. The improved resolution and faster scanning ability of the instrument compared to the previous generation of GOES allow forecasters to more rapidly detect and analyze storms as they are developing and intensifying.
GOES-17 is the second in a series of next-generation geostationary weather satellites. Like GOES-16, its sister satellite operating as GOES East, GOES-17 is designed to provide advanced imagery and atmospheric measurements of Earth from 22,300 miles above the equator.
GOES-17 launched on March 1, 2018, from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. The satellite is currently in its post-launch checkout and testing phase, the period in which its instruments and systems are calibrated, validated and assessed for operational usage. Imagery released from GOES-17 during the post-launch testing phase should be considered preliminary and non-operational.
NOAA’s operational geostationary constellation - GOES-16, operating as GOES-East, GOES-15, operating as GOES-West and GOES-14, operating as the on-orbit spare - is healthy and monitoring weather across the nation each day.

Note: This is preliminary, non-operational data as GOES-17 undergoes on-orbit testing.
Fixed some issues with the missing GROUND between VIN and VOUT (from the 3v Voltage Regulator). Also added an voltage divider for the input from the RS-485 to the ATXmega256-A3.
BDT Strategy Jam
ITU, Geneva, Switzerland
On 30 August 2013, a "BDT Strategy Jam" was organized to give BDT professionals an opportunity to brainstorm on an innovation challenge "How might we change the value proposition of BDT and make it more relevant and impactful?". Structured using Design Thinking methodologies, the event gave attendees an opportunity to brainstorm on an evolving environment in which ICTs have a growing influence on many sectors of society and business involving many new actors. Participants were organized into teams who each gave their inputs on the needs of the current and future ITU membership and built prototypes of their proposed new BDT organizational concepts that will be used as input into the new ITU strategic plan.
