It was sponsored by the Sierra Diablo Matchcover Club this year, and, as usual, the freebies were excellent and the company was pleasant. Quality was the name of the auction game - there was something for everyone during all three days of the auctions and participating collectors all walked away with some matchcover gems. Attendees were also treated to a delicious BBQ lunch on Friday and we enjoyed not just each other's company, but a little bit of non-rainy weather. Yes - it actually rained in California. Friday night was Party Night as we played Matchbook BINGO, won awesome raffle prizes, and submitted any last minute display ballots. We all had a great time at AMCAL this year and want to thank the Sierra Diablo Matchcover Club for once again hosting another great event!

AMCAL 2016: Mike’s Perspective Everything Denise pointed out in her AMCAL Report was certainly true. It was a great event, and everyone had a great time...the only problem was there weren’t very many ‘everyone’s’ in attendance. Several regulars were absent due to either their or their spouses’ medical problems, and we were especially rocked by long-time member Janet Johnk’s passing on May 10th. Still, Clem Pater came out from Ohio to be our auctioneer, and the Bitter’s made it from Oklahoma. I was only able to attend in the mornings, but attending the convention was certainly worth it for me. Every registered attendee received a convention box (in lieu of convention ‘bags’) containing a minimum of 5,000 covers! That’s far and away the most that any convention or swapfest has ever given out, as far as I know. There was a completely new and different system employed for the freebie tables (another innovation from Loren Moore). As a long-time freebie table affection ado ,myself, I initially had misgivings about it, but it worked just fine, and all I heard was praise for it from the other attendees. Offsetting the disappointing attendance, Loren’s incredibly innovative absentee bidding system for the auctions was an unqualified success, with collectors across the country participating. On Saturday, CBS sent out a team to video the convention activities and interview a number of attendees. CBS tentatively planned to air the segment on CBS Sunday Morning later in the month. It was a nice coup for AMCAL. A special thanks to Denise McKinney, who handled the registration, displays, prizes, and furnished her AMCAL Report, plus photos; Dan Bitter, who helped with the convention boxes and auction lots; Clem Pater, our auctioneer; and Loren Moore, who....basically put on AMCAL 2016! No. 377 SIERRA-DIABLO BULLETIN-June 2016 Page 4 National Donut Day! [first Friday in June] Bet you didn’t know that National Donut Day was started by the Salvation Army! It started in 1938 as a fund raiser for Chicago's Salvation Army. Their goal was to help the needy during the Great Depression, and to honor Salvation Army "Lassies" of World War I, who served doughnuts to soldiers. Soon after the US entrance into World War I in 1917, The Salvation Army sent a fact-finding mission to France. The mission concluded that the needs of US enlisted men could be met by canteens/social centers termed "huts" that could serve baked goods, provide writing supplies and stamps, and provide a clothes- mending service. These huts were established by The Salvation Army in the U.S. near army training centers. About 250 Salvation Army volunteers went to France. Because of the difficulties of providing freshly baked goods from huts established in abandoned buildings near to the front lines, the two Salvation Army volunteers (Ensign Margaret Sheldon and Adjutant Helen Purviance) came up with the idea of providing doughnuts. These are reported to have been an "instant hit", and "soon many soldiers were visiting The Salvation Army huts". Margaret Sheldon wrote of one busy day: "Today I made 22 pies, 300 doughnuts, 700 cups of coffee." Soon, the women who did this work became known by the servicemen as "Doughnut Dollies". There are three other doughnut holidays, the origins of which are obscure. International Jelly-Filled Doughnut Day is widely recognized as June 8 (occasionally as June 9). National Cream-Filled Doughnut Day is celebrated on September 14. And, Buy A Doughnut Day occurs on October 30. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Doughnut_Day] "Doughnut Dollies were women vol- unteers of the Salvation Army, who traveled to France in 1918 to support US soldiers." No. 377 SIERRA-DIABLO BULLETIN-June 2016 Page 5 Featuring Full-Lengths! Hotels Hmmmm...Hotels are good; Hotels with graphics are nice; but Hotels with colorful, full-length graphics are even better! It’s not just that they’re full-lengths, at least not for me. It’s the intricate art work in vivid color...the kind you don’t really see anymore on more modern covers. You’ll find modern full-length Hotel covers, of course, but now they tend to have either very simple graphics, or, more likely, color photos. Hotels were one of the earliest advertisers on covers, and today they constitute one of the largest categories collected in the hobby. Soooo...even though I don’t have any stats as to how many full-length Hotels there are, or what constitutes the largest known collection...there are bound to be a significant number compared to probably most of the other full-length subcategories. I’d guess that Diamond probably produced the most Full-Length Hotels, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that distinction ended up in the hands of Ohio Match Company. I’ve seen quite a few of such isues from that company (and I think they’re actually of higher quality). I collect Full-Lengths, but not Full -Length Hotels, as such, so all of mine are simply in my Full- Lengths. Hotel collectors, though, might have them subdivided into Full-Lengths, etc. No. 377 SIERRA-DIABLO BULLETIN-June 2016 Page 6 An American Tour: 102 Chicago’s Comiskey Park Comiskey Park was a ballpark in Chicago, Illinois, the home of the Chicago White Sox from 1910 through 1990. Built by owner Charles Comiskey and designed by Zachary Taylor Davis, it hosted four World Series and more than 6,000 Major League Baseball games. The field was also the site of the 1937 heavyweight title match in which Joe Louis defeated then champion James J. Braddock in eight rounds. The Chicago Cardinals of the National Football League also called Comiskey Park home when they weren't playing at Normal Park or Soldier Field. The Cardinals won the 1947 NFL Championship Game over the Philadelphia Eagles at Comiskey Park. A new ballpark opened in 1991, across 35th Street and south of its predecessor, and Comiskey Park was demolished the same year. Originally also called Co- miskey Park, the new park was renamed U.S. Cellular Field in 2003. Comiskey Park was the site of four World Series. In 1917, the Chicago White Sox won games 1, 2 and 5 at Comiskey Park and went on to defeat the New York Giants four games to two. In 1918, it hosted the World Series between the Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox defeated the Cubs four games to two. Games one, two and three were played at Comiskey Park. The Red Sox won games one and three. In 1919, the White Sox lost the infamous "Black Sox" World Series to the Cincin- nati Reds, five games to three in a nine-game series. Games three, four, five and eight were played at Comiskey Park. In 1959, the White Sox lost four games to two to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Games one, two and six were played at Co- miskey Park. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comiskey_Park] No. 377 SIERRA-DIABLO BULLETIN-June 2016 Page 7 Murder, Inc. Most of us have heard of Murder, Inc. Perhaps you even remember Twentieth Century Fox releasing the movie Murder, Inc. in 1960, written for the screen by Irve Tunick and Mel Barr from the book by Burton Turkus and Sid Feder, Murder, Inc. But was there ever any real Murder Inc.? Well, sort of... Murder, Inc. was the name the press gave to organized crime groups in the 1930s through the 1940s that acted as the "enforcement arm" of the American Mafia, the early organized crime groups in New York and elsewhere.
