  • The Anthracite Football League
    PFRA ANNUAL 1987 (No. 8) THE ANTHRACITE FOOTBALL LEAGUE By Joe Zagorski The hills and mountains of the coal region of Northeastern Pennsylvania are alive with history. One particular moment of coal region history, however, has passed nearly into oblivion. In an area of the country where pro football took center stage during the golden age of sports, a new league was born in 1924 that grabbed the spotlight for a brief moment, then relinquished it to the future. The Anthracite Football League was formed not by the hardened coal that supplied its name, but by a strong desire to set a handful of teams on a smoother organizational path. It lasted only one season, and was considered by many to be a success for even less time than that. Nevertheless, it provided something different for the fans, and everyone agreed that it made a difference in the game. The Anthracite League was conceived by a group of people who attempted, in a somewhat feeble way, to imitate the five-year-old National Football League. With the coal region teams, as well as with the NFL teams of a half- decade earlier, player raiding was running rampant, and a poorly designed scheduling system left game day matters in utter disarray. Moreover, the secret buying of assorted ringers (several of whom could produce, even guarantee, victory) made keeping a steady lineup almost impossible. The pro game in Schuylkill County was in desperate need of some common-sense organization and standardized rules to live by. The Pottsville Republican provided the first sign that such elements were about to play a part in the game when it editorialized during the latter part of August that local pro football was in a heap of trouble.

  • A Biographical Sketch of Pete Gray in 1945 Pete Gray Played in 77 Games for the St
    A Biographical Sketch of Pete Gray In 1945 Pete Gray played in 77 games for the St. Louis Browns. He collected 51 hits, 8 for extra bases, and compiled a .218 batting average. As an outfielder, he made 162 put-outs, 3 assists, and 7 errors for a .959 fielding average. What the statistics don’t tell us is that Gray, who died in 2002 at the age of 87, was the first one-armed player in the history of major league baseball. Most sportswriters and baseball historians credit Gray’s professional career to the fact that all of the best players were serving in the U.S. military during World War II and the major leagues were forced to operate with men who were exempted from the draft: older former players, youngsters, and those who received a 4-F status due to some type of disability. Therefore, the quality of major league play was at an all-time low. Some claimed that the St. Louis Browns purchased Gray as a gate attraction, or public relations ploy to divert the attention of a war-weary nation. Nor did he enjoy the whole-hearted respect of his teammates, many of whom believed his presence in the line-up cost the Browns the chance to repeat as American League champions. It will be your challenge to defend or refute this issue. Here’s some background information that may help in building your case. Born on March 6, 1915, in the Hanover section of Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, Pete Gray was the son of Lithuanian immigrants, Antoinette and Peter Wyshner, Sr.
