  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

  • Horse Painting and Racetrack Corruption in the Early Depression-Era War on Crime
    “A ringer was used to make the killing”: Horse Painting and Racetrack Corruption in the Early Depression-Era War on Crime Abstract: Peter Christian “Paddy” Barrie was a seasoned fraudster who transferred his horse doping and horse substitution skills from British to North American racetracks in the 1920s. His thoroughbred ringers were entered in elite races to guarantee winnings for syndicates and betting rings in the prohibition-era United States. This case study of a professional travelling criminal and the challenges he posed for the Pinkerton National Detective Agency in the early 1930s war on crime highlights both the importance of illegal betting to urban mobsters and the need for broader and more nuanced critiques of Depression-era organised crime activities and alliances. Key words: ringers, racetracks, conmen, Pinkertons, organised crime Horse “ringing” is the practice of running an experienced, faster, or older horse under the name of a younger or nondescript one, usually to take advantage of long betting odds. “King of the Ringers” Paddy Barrie boasted of ringing hundreds of thoroughbreds at racetracks across the United States, in Canada, and at Agua Caliente near Tijuana in the 1920s and early 1930s.1 Journalists agreed that criminal associates in America’s major cities made regular use of Barrie’s talents, while Pinkerton detectives charged that Barrie’s ringers earned millions of dollars for betting rings.2 The wider American public learned of his exploits following his most famous coup at Havre de Grace, Maryland’s premier racetrack, The original version of this paper was presented at the fifth British Crime Historians Symposium at the University of Edinburgh in October 2016.
