This week-end involved 2 Heritage Railways with the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
Here, after arriving at the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway (EVR) for their Steam in the Valley 21 Event, Steam Locomotive "Henry Ellison" was at Wirksworth Station positioned to push a train up the very steep 1 in 27 Ravenstor Incline.
"Henry Ellison" is an Andrew Barclay 0-4-0ST Loco built as Works No 2217.

A Photo from Day 6 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record but unfortunately I didn't get any journeys on this day.
The Severn Valley Railway (SVR) runs trains along a 16 mile Heritage line from Kidderminster station to Bridgenorth station .Highly is one of the stations along the line and there is The Engine House Museum there.
The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there were 4 steam Locomotive running on various Steam Excursions where due to Covid19, Compartments were being sold to families and there were some tables for groups of 2 or 4 people but nothing really suitable for the solo traveler.
Here, in The Engine House museum very near Highley Station I took this photo of 4566, a Churchward designed and Swindon Works built for the GWR 2-6-2T loco.

Another Double Railway Day and I decided to go to the North Norfolk Railway (NNR) in the morning and I can move onto the Mid Norfolk Railway (MNR) in the afternoon. It is only about 50 minutes by car between the 2 railways.
When I arrived at Sheringham Station on the North Norfolk Railway (NNR), there were 2 Steam Trains operating along the line.
Here, after travelling along the line from Weybourne to Holt and then along the whole line to Sheringham Station, this Photo is of 90775 - recently named "The Royal Norfolk Regiment" which was built by North British of Glasgow as a WD/10 Class loco similar to a 9F - 2-10-0 just after arriving at Sheringham.

If anybody was wondering what I was doing at work today. I was going through three of these excel spreadsheets, each this size with around 7000 cells with increasingly meaningless numbers in. Numbers that I have entered and now have to compare, compile and tally. It's taken me 3 days to get this much done, and there is little hope in sight of me actually finishing these results this week.

One day I started filling a spreadsheet with all the languages I've used over the years (and with percentages of focus on each one) with the intention of creating a chart.
It got bigger than I expected. I guess never counted how many platforms I had actually used.
The original chart (created in LibreOffice) didn't look exactly good, so I decided to write custom code to plot the chart the exact way I wanted it to look like. This is the result. It was created with some messy JS code that rendered the data to a canvas object. I tweaked the colors a little bit and added the titles in Photoshop.
I think it's an interesting visualization of the platforms I've used. There are many different solutions to the problem, I think, but so far I'm pretty happy with this result.
Please view in the original size.
The source code can be found here. It was never meant to be released nor too flexible so it's a little bit too linear and hard-coded, but what the hell.
on the night when i took the previous shot. one of the 4 days i lived here when the wind did not blow.
could you please take this survey? i need it for school :) thanks!

The KOM Flash Report
For week of
September 18—24, 2016
Well, it is time to share another Flash Report. If I keep trying someday I might just happen to get the attention of two readers in the same issue. If anyone has an interest in it click here: www.flickr.com/photos/60428361@N07/29547851222/
____________________________________________________________________________
Hi John: Just a quick note to let you know Harry fell and broke his hip on Sept. 1. Got a partial hip replacement and is now in a rehab facility. He made a trip to the ER from rehab Saturday because he was dehydrated. Sent him back to rehab on Sunday. Sunday night he fell getting up without help because he thinks he can do it himself and back to the ER he went. At 3am they got him back to rehab. He was 85 Sept 3. He really is a set in his ways. I like to look at those pictures you post. Noel looks great. What a great lady. Take care John, Pat Crandall—Denver, Colo
Ed note:
Harry Crandall was an outfielder for the KOM champion Ponca City Dodgers in 1950 and was one of the most faithful attendees at KOM league events.

The Mantle book top bid
John, I’ll kick the bid up to $50.00 for you. Hope that helps get you closer to getting one eye done, I hear they can be pretty expensive. Let me know if that works for you.
Thanks--Emil Hagopian -- Nephew of Emil Federow, Joplin Minoes, Class of ’50
Ed note:
Emil’s bid was not topped and thus the book has found a new home in the Detroit area.

Where did Keokuk train?
In the last issue Willis Carruth got a lot of keystrokes because one reader brought up his name. It precipitated a “ton” of Internet traffic between Keokuk, Iowa and Columbia, Missouri. Steve Smith opened “the game” this week with a question about the spring training site of the 1948 Keokuk Pirates.
To Steve Smith
A SABR site says Keokuk trained at Duncan, Okla. in 1948. The April 28, 1948 edition of the Iola, Kansas Register says they trained in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Who's right?
Smith’s reply
I should get to the library tomorrow and check my source document - the Daily Gate City.
I have a spreadsheet that lists all the Keokuk spring training sites by year but that doesn't mean I didn't make a keyboard error. It has probably been 10 years since I made that spreadsheet. My source for the spread sheet should have been the DGC.
A bit later:
After checking my primary source, the Keokuk Daily Gate City, I have come to the conclusion that the 1947-1948-1949 Keokuk Pirates spring training was conducted in Bartlesville.
Please check out the picture of the Pirate spring training "brain trust." file:///C:/Users/KC/Downloads/DGC%204-15-1948-Spring%20Trng%20Pic.pdf
I have no idea why I had Duncan OK on my spreadsheet. Like I say I probably did that 10+ years ago.
Attached is a PDF file of the May 4, 1948 DGC showing the picture of Willis Carruth's pinch hit home run. It’s the best quality I can get . (Not shown)
Ed reply:
For newspaper photos of that era it was a great picture. I noticed Ray Birch pinch hit in that game. He wound up be the All-Star game catcher for the KOM league that same season. Of course I saw Ed Suvada and Ed McLish mentioned in that edition as well. Someone could have constructed a poem with the names of Elmer Kish and Ed McLish.
Smith’s reply:
Attached is the Daily Gate City's account of that April 28, 1948 exhibition between Keokuk & Iola. David "Gus" Bell did indeed play for Keokuk that night. Gus played 128 games for Keokuk that year hitting .319 with 27 doubles and 20 triples, but only 6 homers. You are a fountain of knowledge.
Ed reply:
They used to call me "Old Faceful."
Comment:
With all the PDF’s Smith shared I looked on my mailing list to see if anyone in the Iola-Keokuk game of 1948 might have any interest in those stories. The only name I could think of was Buck Walz who played three seasons for Iola. Here was my message to him. “Buck, I f you download this file you will see the box score of the game you played against Keokuk and Gus Bell was in right field for them.” Shortly, I had a note coming all the way from Mesa, Arizona, from Walz that he didn’t remember much about that era since it has been 70 years.

Another Iola player was in touch
Good report John! I got to go to Chicago early this month and saw the Cubs beat the LA Angels. Great seats and great game with my son and grandson. Hank Chott—Glendora, Calif. who was from Chicago and played in 1950 for Iola, Kans.
______________________________________________________________________________
Love the report:
Great names: I got a kick out of some of the names in this issue, especially Fido Murphy, Sleepy Willoughby, and Zeb Snider (short for Zebulon I'm guessing). Really good picture of the Bartlesville Oilers. Nice and clear. .—Jerry Hogan—Fayetteville, Ark.
Ed reply:
I have no idea where the nickname came from but Snider’s middle name wasn’t Zebulon. Maybe it came from Czechoslovakia. His family gave up coal mining there around 1918 to do it in West Virginia.
Comment:
Over the course of time spent researching the KOM league I’ve been very fortunate in coming up with massive numbers of photos from that era. There was some great black and white camera work done with Brownie Box cameras.

Sometimes you get lucky
In the July 10—16, 2016 edition of this publication, mention was made that KOM President E. L. Dale had fired an umpire named Crockett. It didn’t provide a first name and I challenged the readership to come up with one as long as it wasn’t David. I knew if someone told me that, it would be a joke. Well, I got a response from Jack Morris, baseball necrologist and sure enough, his first name was David.
Crockett was fired for changing his calls in two games at Miami, Oklahoma during the early part of the 1950 season. That doesn’t seem important now, but keep that fact in mind.
Nothing in the Sporting News Card indexes gave me any hint of how old David Crockett was or where he was from. On a recent beautiful Saturday afternoon I had some choices. I could watch college football on television or go down the road to a place called Faurot Field where the Missouri Tigers have their lair. That didn’t sound very appealing. So, I looked out the back door and saw a very wet yard after 6.2 inches of rain in over a span of a couple of days. I decided against mowing a rice paddy. A quick glance at the tomato patch indicated I’d be wading mud up to my knees if I wanted to pick those now too water logged vegetables. So, I decided to become a junior G-Man and see if I could find David Crockett or determine his fate.
Without a year or place of birth the guessing game began. From historical records I was aware that when any umpire left the KOM league, who was from a faraway place, he would be replaced by someone from a town in league territory. To make my case Jack McGlothin, Horace James “Bucky” Walters, Max Rose and Moses Yellowhorse all became umpires when arbiters from distant places went back home for one reason or another. McGlothin and Walters worked for the railroad in Pittsburg, Kansas, Yellowhorse, from Pawnee, Okla. was the Ponca City groundskeeper and Rose was a former member of the Alba Aces and Alba was/is midway between Carthage, MO and Pittsburg, Kansas. Richard Bell of Waukee, Iowa (more on this man later in this report even with his last name changed) was hired to start the 1950 but after one bi left effective May 17, That is when David Crockett came on the scene.
To start with I decided to narrow the search to Oklahoma and Missouri. There was a James Drenen Crockett born February 2, 1866 in St. Clair, Missouri who moved to Afton, Oklahoma prior to his death in 1916. At the age of 44 he became the father of a young son named David Drenen Crockett born January 16, 1910. When the lad was six years old his father died leaving behind David, his sister Sybil a wife and two mules. Sorry, but I never learned the name of the mules. I found a photo of Sybil and David sitting on them with their father, James, holding the reigns and David appears to be 4-5 years old. Note: If you have Ancestry.com you can view that photo here: mv.ancestry.com/viewer/6b8c1cb2-6e90-4b23-9c03-0875ba99ce...
Tracking David Drenan Crockett I found he was living in Tulsa, Oklahoma by the time he was 16. He lived in three places there and worked as a plasterer and city bus driver into the early 1940’s. He married a lady by the name of Nadine in 1934 and since I didn’t find her maiden name I will call her Mrs. Nadine Crockett.
Update: As the afternoon wore on, and my computer skills improved, I found that David Crockett married Nadine Geneth Scritchfield. She was born in Fairland, Okla. on 6/13/1910. Her parents had lived in Newton County Missouri, south of Joplin and north of Neosho before moving to nearby Fairland in Ottawa County, Okla. From there the Crockett and Scritchfield families moved to Tulsa, Okla. where most of them lived out their lives. Nadine worked as a telephone operator for Southwestern Bell and died 2/29/1994.
In 1942 David Crockett entered the United States Navy where he served until 1945. That is where the trail grew cold and I went to his father’s burial site which was Mt. Hope Cemetery in Afton, OK. I either got a clue or had divine inspiration from that effort and discovered David with the SSN of 443-036-978 (it is legal to share SSN’s of the deceased) had passed away on November 24, 1990 in Tulsa. However, his earthly remains were transported east to the SW Missouri town of Neosho where he now rests in Oakwood Cemetery along with Nadine and many of her relatives. Here is his grave site: www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=359649...
Crockett lived in Tulsa for many years and it is very likely he knew Ward Elmer Mohs who was the postal worker in that town and was also the chief of umpires for the KOM league from 1946-1949. I surmise Mohs may have had some influence on the young man entering the umpiring profession.
At the start of this article I mentioned Crockett was born in Afton, Oklahoma. That town is in Ottawa County as is Miami. So, the man who got his start in life in Ottawa County saw his umpiring career end there as well. He got his start in the Longhorn league that lasted from May 25 to June 22, 1949. His KOM league career started around May 17 and lasted until June 28 of 1950. A couple of photos of Crockett are at this site: One appears to have been taken in a street side photo booth and another was taken in a yard. In both instances he was wearing a white straw hat. mv.ancestry.com/viewer/38cea8e8-1ecc-43e3-862f-1629080796...
Not much was found regarding David Crockett after he left the KOM league. A dispute over a down payment on a car, in 1957, is attached if you care to pull up the citation and then good luck from there unless you understand “lawyer speak.”
law.justia.com/cases/oklahoma/supreme-court/1957/30732.html
¶2 The facts are Nadine Crockett and David Crockett purchased an automobile from Hansel J. Nobles and made a down payment of $200 and later returned the car to Nobles and brought this action in the Justice of the Peace Court for the return of the $200 down payment. An appeal was taken to the Court of Common Pleas, and there tried de novo to a jury.
This site will take you in many directions regarding the Crockett family if you are interested in genealogy or learning more about former minor league umpires, which I seriously doubt.

The saga of Richard Allen Boll
Prior to the start of the 1950 baseball season the league released the names of the umpires to the press. One of those listed was Richard A. Bell of Waukee, Iowa. That turned out to be a misspelling of his last name which was Boll. It didn’t matter much for he left the league for unspecified reasons on May 17, 1950. When the umpires for 1951 were announced he wasn’t one of them but by June he was umpiring at Iola, Kansas when one of the most sensational confrontations, in league history, between an umpire and manager erupted. It resulted in Forrest “Lefty” Crawford, the Iola manager, being banned for a month (actually 21 days) and after he served his suspension he was released. It was one of the biggest all-around messes in league history. It is somewhat synthesized in quotations from newspaper articles so you can draw your own conclusions.
Richard Boll was initially signed 2/18/1950 and released 5/17/1950. Then the real story begins.
June 30, 1951--Boll Out of KOM. The umpires, reported that Dick Boll has been replaced as an umpire in the KOM league. He is the official with whom Lefty Crawford became embroiled. Bucky Walters of Pittsburg will substitute temporarily, working only in games near his home town. He is a regular league reliever. The void caused by an umpire’s replacement was basically filled by Frank K. Rainier.
Who was Frank K. Rainier? He was an umpire who wasn’t assigned to the league at the commencement of the season. Other than him being assigned to the Evangeline league for 1952, after his time in the KOM, nothing is known, for sure. He may have been born May 22, 1926 in Bordentown, NJ. and passed away February 19, 1977 in Florence, NJ. If so, he served in the U. S. Army from 11/22/1944 until 11/1/1946. www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=553464...
KOM League president, E. L. played no favorites when I came to suspending managers. Some of the following articles prove it.
June 11, 1951--The Indians dropped three baseball decisions during the weekend and today are in the midst of the first league embroilment of the 1951 season. A 10-2 victory for Bartlesville there last night followed a double loss to Carthage Saturday, 3-1 and 10-3. The second joust Saturday left manager| Lefty Crawford's status rather unsettled, clouded by many rumors after a mix with plate umpire Boll in the fifth inning. After Boll called a bunt by Joe Vilk of Iola foul, usually genial Crawford rushed him and started a fight which players of both sides soon quieted although with considerable effort:
Among those taking police action were manager Don Anderson of Carthage, who grabbed Crawford and succeeded in moving him from the immediate scene a few paces. Boll, motioned Crawford off the field about as soon as the manager reached the umpire, but it was several minutes until order was restored oh the field. Pitcher Pete New of the Indians also was ejected for his protest of what had happened. No police officers took part, but fortunately the fans all remained in their grandstand seats. They proceeded to boo the umpire loudly for some: time thereafter. Yesterday and today, league president E. L. Dale of Carthage has made several telephone calls regarding the incident and has directed Joe Becker, supervisor of umpires, to hold an inquiry into the matter at Iola Tuesday afternoon. There were rumors of suspensions this morning but actually none has officially been announced. The first game Saturday was well played, and Carthage won it largely by out-hustling the Indians. They stole four bases in the first inning, in which two runs, were scored. "Manager Anderson stole home. Iola led 3-0 after four innings of the second game and Pete New had pitched one-hit ball, facing only 13 batters in four innings. New walked Tom Kordas to start the fifth, then fanned George Beck. When Gary Hicks's fairly easy fly ball to center was misjudged by Joe Zavaterra and went for two bases. New appeared to become unnerved.
June 12, 1951--Lefty Improving Lefty Crawford came back from Bartlesville in I better humor than expected. The Indian chief was pretty blue over the Saturday umpire incident and things in general when he left —and two losses followed. Lefty popped in The Register office early this morning to express his regrets over the Saturday night explosion. He vows it will never happen again, and he hopes to be permitted to prove ft. Lefty is afflicted with too much desire to succeed, just as this corner tried to say when he got discouraged early, even though the team looked pretty good from the grandstand. A losing team can entertain, something that Lefty finds hard to see. Also from the grandstand, it has looked as though the Indians have been a little too umpire-conscious all the way. Enough hustle "on the ball" will beat the enemy, the umpires, and everything.
June 14, 1951--Manager Crawford Not on Trip. Iola goes to Miami today with Crawford left behind. Forrest "Lefty" Crawford remained at home today as the Iola baseball club bussed to Miami for a two-game KOM league series. In charge of the players, primarily in a business way, was Lloyd Ayers veteran Iola semi-pro player and manager. Mace Pool, second baseman, will be in charge of the team on the field, as he has been since Sunday, the day a temporary suspension was placed on Crawford to await investigation of an umpire imbroglio here last Saturday night.
Crawford yesterday was suspended 30 days by league president E. L. Dale as a result of Crawford's excited physical clash with umpire Dick Boll. A threatened "sit-down." by the players as reaction to a report that Crawford had been relieved permanently by the baseball directors was the latest baseball excitement overnight. After last night's game the players called on president Ollie Sutherland, 100 per cent strong. Sutherland said, and declared they would 'not go to Miami today if their manager is relieved. Yesterday the directors met and voted to seek the services of Al Reitz during Crawford's suspension. This morning they had not yet located him, however. Reitz managed here in 1946. 1947 and 1948. has been employed in Florida, his home when he first came here, but had written here, recently that he probably would move to Indiana soon, his shipyards job having been eliminated by commercial changes there.
Since Sunday, Crawford has been in charge of the team except on the hold, a common procedure in baseball when a manager is under suspension. Suspended managers are permitted to work the team out until game time, and of course handle player assignments and other business matters off the field. This morning, Crawford had not definitely decided to remain here and ride out the suspension, which will end July 8, but he indicated preference for that step. He said his family, including three of his four small sons, will leave his home at Davenport, Iowa tomorrow to come for the remainder of the summer. Crawford said he had been deeply impressed by friendship shown him by Iola fans since his arrival in April and he would seriously regret leaving now. He hopes to stay, he said, and finish the season successfully. Today he was job-hunting for the apparent 22-day period he will be off the field. Meeting with the directors this morning following a session of the board, the Iola players pleaded for appeal action on the suspension and $100 fine. They expressed the utmost loyalty; to Crawford, both as a leader; and an instructor. Dave Newkirk. pitcher, acted as chief spokesman.
Baseball regulations, as Dale's notice of the suspension reminded, give individuals or clubs the right to appeal disputes to other clubs of the same league or the national
Iola Register--June 19, 1951--Lefty Crawford, suspended manager of the Indians, said this morning he planned to take his family back to Davenport today, hoping to return here himself by Wednesday night. Mrs. Crawford and their three sons came here Saturday. They had intended to stay here most of the summer but are returning because of not find ng a suitable place to live. Al Reitz, engaged to relieve Crawford until a suspension ends July 8, had not yet arrived in town this morning.
Ponca City, June 23. (AP).— Mgr. George Scherger of Ponca City's KOM league team returned to the roster tonight following a suspension. Scherger was suspended for five days Thursday following an argument with an umpire in Pittsburg. The suspension, though, was lifted after three days.
Iola Register--June 25, 1951-- Iola Register--Lefty Crawford Hurt on City Job-- Hard luck followed on the heels of Manager Lefty Crawford's 30-day suspension in the KOM league when he was injured Saturday while at work for the city on a street Improvement project. A block of concrete fell from a city truck and struck Crawford in the back as he was stooped over nearby. The physician who ministered to him and made X-ray investigation later said it is believed the injury was limited to severe bruising. Crawford was advised to remain in bed throughout the week end. The Indian manager sought and obtained the city employment while scheduled to be idle two weeks longer on the enforced baseball lay-off. The misfortune occurred on his second day out with city workers who are on a curb replacement project on the north side of the square. Interruption of his regular baseball salary accompanies the suspension. Another member of the baseball squad injured during the week end is Stan Klemme, rightfielder, who suffered an ankle sprain in the Saturday night game at Pittsburg.
Iola Register--June 30, 1951--In baseball law anybody who didn't realize organized baseball is regulated with real force should know it now. It must be run that way to survive, because It is so dynamite-laden from the emotional angle. Lefty Crawford was not penalized for what, physical damage he did to umpire Dick Boll. In fact there was none. In a civil court, Lefty probably would have been fined about $15 for what he did if the argument had been on a street corner. In many cases there would have been no penalty. If the person abused had been hurt, it would of course be much more serious, both on the ball field and in court. Instances could be found where an umpire was treated worse and the offender received less in the way of penalties. That would be this corner's- chief; point against the Crawford decision. It would be acceptable if the touching of an umpire meant automatic suspension for 90 days. Penalties are arbitrary, however, so they vary widely. There, probably is no tougher league president in the country than E. L. Dale, and this department is for him. Strange as it may seem, baseball law absolutely must be stronger than civil law. The umpire must be a czar of the game. They don't like it better than anyone else. It just must be. Without control there would be; no baseball, and the representatives of baseball control are the umpires.
More about Richard Allen Boll
He was a paternal descendant of German immigrants who settled in Pennsylvania and later moved to Iowa. On the maternal side of the grandparent coin he was “pure” Missourian. His parents were married July 11, 1910 in Kansas City, Missouri and then embarked upon raising a family in Waukee, Iowa, as farmers.
Richard Allen Boll arrived on October 26, 1921 and stayed on the farm until he entered the US. Army on October 14, 1942. He served until January 6, 1946. From April 12, 1943 until December 12, 1945 and was fighting against the same country from which he had descended. He spent 32 months in Europe for which he was compensated an additional $500 by the State of Iowa following the war.
On the 15th day of January, 1975 he was married to Faye Blizzard. Sometime between their marriage date and April 25, 2008 they moved to Arab, Alabama. On that April day in 2008 Richard Allen Boll passed away at the age of 86.
Comment:
Over the years I spoke with a number of Iola players who participated in that game. Bringing up the subject to some of the guys evoked that “deer in the headlight gaze” with the response being, “I don’t remember that.”
Two fellows who remembered it were Pete New and Sam Dixon. Dixon had joined the Iola team on a two week basis until their catcher, Kenny Boehme, was assigned there by the New York Yankees, came of the disabled list.. Dixon recalled Iola was at bat and he went behind the third base dugout to take a smoke. He had a long-time teammate, from their Chanute days, and fellow railroader, Pete New, was coaching third base. Dixon said he heard a commotion and New had gone up to home plate where Boll was umpiring. Dixon said that due to the activity going on around home plate, and not wanting to give up his cigarette, he stayed out of the fracas.
In speaking with Pete New he told me that when he got to the plate Boll and Crawford were going at it pretty good. He said that he got behind Boll, pinned his arms and encouraged Crawford to hit the umpire. New told me that is what his manager did. In that melee no one in authority saw what New had done and when he told me the story nearly a half-century after it happened he felt that he should have received some discipline as well. But, that was long before television games and instant replay.
While Crawford was suspended the team was managed by one of their players, Mace Pool. That was too much pressure on a young man. So, Iola owner, Earl Sifers went after Al Reitz who managed there from 1946 through 1948. He was to guide the team until July 8, 1951 when Crawford’s suspension expired. July 8th came and Reitz left and Sifers decided it was cheaper not to have a “real” manager and turned the job back over to Pool.
Don Anderson, Carthage manager, had his Carthage team in Iola the night of the fracas and he told me that he felt sorry for Boll and was doing his best to intercede on the umpire’s behalf. Had I been allowed to travel to Iola, as the batboy, as I did to Miami and Pittsburg I would have had a birds eye view of the altercation from my normal position near the bat rack. I wonder how much I would have remembered of the incident? I would be able to write better stories today had I been older and had a digital camera in 1951.
On July 8, Reitz was out of a job. The Carthage Cubs returned home, on July 9, from a week’s road trip to Bartlesville and Ponca City. When I arrived at the clubhouse, in mid-morning, I was told manager Don Anderson had resigned and that a new manager would arrive shortly. Very soon thereafter a fairly large contingent of men in business suits were walking around the Municipal Park stadium. I didn’t know any of them except Lee Newman who was the president of the club. One of those men came up to me and introduced himself as Al Reitz. I later learned that one of the men in the group was Jack Sheehan who was head of minor league operations for the Chicago Cubs. He didn’t bother speaking to me for he knew I’d never advance past the Class D KOM league.
The crazy year for the Iola Indians continued. Beset by managerial problems and near player revolt the Iola club was ready to welcome back their suspended manager, on July 9, when the officials of the club decided the suspended manager wasn’t welcome. So, they stuck with Mace Pool as player/ manager. About that same time the rains of 1951 began. Across Kansas the water rose and when it reached Iola thee were record levels of water. The ballpark was overtaken by the Neosho River and for most of the remainder of the season the Iola home games were played in Independence, Coffeyville, Parsons and even the small village of Bronson, Kansas. That gave rise to the old saying “When it rains….”
Earlier in the article it was cited that Pete New held umpire Richard Boll as “Lefty” Crawford slugged him. Later in the season New got his payback. At one KOM reunion he told me of his continual harassing of Miami manager, Tommy Warren, during a game at Miami, over his legal problems that would eventually wind up with him serving time, the next year, at the Oklahoma State Reformatory. New told me that what Warren did to him was deserved and he regretted popping off to him.
The following is how the New/Warren incident appeared in print.
July 31, 1951--The Coffeyville Journal reports that manager Tommy Warren of Miami socked Pete New, Iola pitcher, as a clubhouse climax to verbal punching that went on during that game. The wound apparently was not too critical, for Pete pitched a shutout Sunday. Pete's chaw may have cushioned the blow.
The Coffeyville Journal had an interest in Pete New for four years earlier he had pitched the local Ban Johnson team to the National Championship of that organization.

Umpire update:
Over the history of documenting the life and times of the KOM league I’ve treated the importance of umpires in the same manner I have the players. There were numerous times the two-man crews didn’t show up for games and “unbiased” umpires would be taken from the grandstand or one player from each team would be selected to umpire.
However, I’ve done my best to document the names of every full-time umpire. This week’s report indicated Richard Allen Boll was in the KOM league in both 1950 and 1951 and The Sporting News index cards don’t show him in the league in 1951. The same goes for Millard Fretz. The Sporting News cards indicate that he was in the KOM league in 1952, which he was but he first showed up for a KOM league gamed in late 1951.
There was an umpire, in late 1951, by the name of Johnson. I had heard a claim through the following article that his first name was Zeke and that he had umpired in the KOM league. It was in regard to the “big” game played in Joplin, Mo. on October 15, 1953. There was a Johnson who worked a May, 1950 series between Iola and Independence and I’m assuming it was Zeke.
Joplin Globe—October 15, 1953
Tickets are now on sale for Sunday's benefit exhibition baseball game between the Tri-State Miners, managed by Mickey Mantle of the New York Yankees, and the District All-Stars, headed by Ferrell (Andy) Anderson, newly appointed manager of the Omaha club of the class "A" Western League.
Joe Becker, one of many officials offering his services and time for the game, said the $5 general admission tickets can be purchased now at Haynes drug store, Owen's Sports store, Bob Miller's cafe. Lane's Sports store, Morrison-Miller cafe, Elks Club and the Royal drug store. Box seats for the game will be on sale all day Saturday and Sunday morning at the ball park. Box seat tickets can be obtained for 25 cents extra.
Proceeds of the game will be given to the widow and children of the late Joe Crowdcr, former Joplin pitcher, who drowned Saturday, October 3, in Grand Lake. Mantle, centerfielder of the world champion Yankees, will head a team of professionals and former pros against Anderson's charges. Besides, Mantle and Anderson, other major leaguers expected to play in the game are Cliff Mapes, who formerly played with the Yankees and Detroit Tigers of the American League, and Gene Stephens of the Boston Red Sox. Mantle played shortstop with Joplin in 1950, when Crowder came in to save several games for the Miners, when the starting pitchers lost their stuff. The pair also played with Independence of the KOM League in 1949. Two former Miners who played with Crowder in 1950 also are expected to play in Sunday's game. They are Al Billingsly and Tommy Gott. Billingsly played second base and Gott roamed in center-field for the 1950 Western Association champion Miners.
The game will get under way Sunday at 2:30 o'clock, and will be preceded by a game between the Webb City Cub Scouts and the Forest Park Baptist church Cub Scout team of Joplin. Zeke Johnson, colorful and veteran umpire of the KOM League and W estern Association told Becker in a telephone conversation earlier this week that "If it’s the last bit of umpiring I do, I want to work the Joe Crowder benefit ame. I worked behind Joe in both the KOM and Western Association, and he never once griped about one of my calls."
Johnson formerly lived in Joplin He now lives at Fayetteville, Ark., and is a powder explosions expert at a plant near Fayettevlle. The other umpires will be Kenny Magness and Don Gross of Joplin.
Ed note: Zeke Johnson was actually James Carl Johnson who was born in Missouri and moved to Commerce, OK and worked as a hoisterman in the lead and zince mines in that area. He umpired in the Western Assn. in 1923. The only other record of him umpiring was in May of 1950 in the KOM league.
Note: I could take exceptions to some of the claims in that article but my comments are long and time is short with regard to this report.

Once again, the Flash Report is over and the pain ends.
Some of the readers, or at least recipients of these reports, might wonder why I persist in sharing them. The following is a note from a reader that is indicative of what causes me to keep trying. “Hi John--So refreshing to receive your Flash Reports!! It's like a spring tonic! All the awful media news plus my own medical miseries make me enjoy the baseball and sweet innocence of your writing all the more. Thank you!” Bill O--Durham, NC
Ed note:
“Bill O” played for the New York Giants and Washington Senators minor league organizations in the early 1950’s. He was a good pitcher who won more than he lost and along the way played with some fellows who went on to the big show with the Giants and Senators. He has a lot of memories of that era and although he never played in the KOM league the stories he sees in these reports remind him of his youth and excitement about playing baseball and all the “other” things that went with it. Thanks to Bill for the encouragement to keep on pecking at the keyboard to dredge up incidents regarding times past but not forgotten. Gee, someone with eloquence could come up with a good sentence using that basic premise.
