Cincinnati Reds Baseball Team Topic Guide for Chronicling America (
Cincinnati Reds Baseball Team Topic Guide for Chronicling America (http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov) Introduction In 1869, the Cincinnati Red Stockings became the first fully professional baseball team. The team achieved a perfect 65-0 record that year. In 1871, the team disbanded, selling the name to a new professional team in Boston. A new Red Stockings team was formed in 1876 but was expelled from the league after the 1880 season for selling beer during games and playing games on Sundays. The current Reds franchise began in 1881 as a founding member of the newly formed American Association. It wasn’t until after 1889 that the team dropped “Stockings” from the name, and simply became the “Reds.” The Cincinnati Reds baseball team is the oldest major league club to play continuously in the same city. The franchise has won the World Series five times (1919, 1940, 1975, 1976, 1990). Important Dates . 1866: The Cincinnati Red Stockings are founded. 1869: The Red Stockings become the first fully professional team when they begin to pay their players. 1889: The Reds are re-admitted into the National League. 1892: Charles “Bumpus” Jones throws the first no-hitter in franchise history. 1912: Redland Field (later known as Crosley Field), home ballpark for the Reds, is opened. 1919: The Reds win their first World Series, though the victory is tainted by the “Black Sox” scandal. Suggested Search Strategies . Try the following terms in combination (as an “all” word search): baseball, base ball, Cincinnati, Reds, Red Stockings, Redlegs, World Series, team, Redland Park, Black Sox. Search for well-known Cincinnati players and managers: Cy Seymour, Sam Crawford, Edd Roush, Bob Bescher, Larry Kopf, Bid McPhee, Patrick “Pat” Moran. -

Brother Heinie Groh: the Bottle Bat Man and Fifty-Year Mason by Dr
Brother Heinie Groh: The Bottle Bat Man and Fifty-Year Mason by Dr. Ivan M. Tribe, KCT, KYCH, 33º To the degree that Henry Knight Groh is remembered by baseball fans today, it is usually for his unusually shaped bat that resembled a milk bottle with a slender, elongated handle. However, Groh was much more than that, being one of the best fielding and hitting third basemen of his generation. In addition, "Heinie" (as most German-Americans named Henry were nicknamed in that era) was a fifty-two-year member of E. T. Carson Lodge No. 598 in his adopted hometown of Cincinnati. Henry Knight Groh was born in Rochester, New York, on September 18, 1889. As a youngster, Henry and his older brother Lewis both developed a serious interest in baseball, and both eventually played in the big time although Lew only got into two games with Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics in 1919. Rochester was a hot baseball town, being a stalwart in the International League from 1899 until 1962, albeit the city didn't really experience its best days until the team became the crown jewel in Branch Rickey's vast St. Louis Cardinal farm system from 1928. When Heinie finished high school, he was about to enter the University of Rochester when fate intervened, and in 1908 he accepted an offer to play shortstop with Oshkosh in the Wisconsin- Illinois League. He later recalled that his parents thought he would be back home in less than a month, but the youth stayed for the rest of the season. -

Knight Templar "The Magazine for York Rite Masons - and Others, Too" AUGUST Grand Master Kenneth B
Grand Master's Message for August 2005 One year! There is one year left in this triennium - one year until we meet in Houston. There is much work left to be done, but it will be done! The 63rd Triennial Conclave Committee is busy at work planning a great meeting. We will meet in Houston, Texas, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on August 11 through 16, 2006, and we look forward to seeing you all there. Many interesting and enjoyable activities are being arranged. For example, there will be tours of places of interest in the Houston area, such as Space Center Houston, prior to the beginning of the activities and meetings. The Field Drill Competition will conclude with a Texas Barbecue and Dance on Saturday evening, August 12. Drill teams are being formed in states which have never had drill teams in the past, and we look forward to greeting them. We are offering training for judges and captains during the Department Conferences starting this fall. You should let your Department Commander know if you wish to participate in that training. All voting delegates will receive an invitation, a packet of registration forms, and information on the Conclave from me just after the first of the year 2006. All others will find the same information on the Grand Encampment web site about the same time. Other information relative to the activities to be held during that week will be included in this magazine as we progress to that time. Make your plans now to join us. We are planning to make you happy that you did! Kenneth B. -
