  • Barney Deforge “Luckie No More” ©Diamondsinthedusk.Com
    Barney DeForge “Luckie No More” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com On a seasonably warm Friday evening in Winston-Salem’s venerable Southside May 14, 1948 Park, the homestanding Cardinals, behind the two-hit pitching of lefty Jack Southside Park Frisinger, take the measure of visiting Reidsville 5-0 in one of four Carolina (D) Winston-Salem, North Carolina League games played that day. At first glance, it seems like just another day of minor league baseball in the Tar Heel State. After all, Winston-Salem, the league’s preseason favorite, currently resides in first place with an impressive 18-7 mark while the fifth-place Luckies drop to 9-12 and a full seven games behind their hosts. And being shutout by the 20-year-old Frisinger, a rising star in the St. Louis Car- dinals farm system, comes as no surprise to Carolina League fans. Said “to be faster than Harvey Haddix,” the burgeoning Cardinals ace limits the Luckies to a pair of singles en route to securing the third of an eventual team-high 18 wins. The 6-foot-1 Kalamazoo, Michigan, native strikes out seven and walks three in the route-going effort. However, several events that take place during the game that are suspicious and, unfortunately, a harbinger of problems to come, both for DeForge and the Carolina League. First, Winston-Salem officials report to the police there is a person in the stands “making heavy bets,” giving Reidsville and two runs which meant that if the Cardinals won by three or more runs, he will win all bets placed.

  • The Sand Canyon Review 2013
    The Sand Canyon Review 2013 1 Dear Reader, The Sand Canyon Review is back for its 6th issue. Since the conception of the magazine, we have wanted to create an outlet for artists of all genres and mediums to express their passion, craft, and talent to the masses in an accessible way. We have worked especially hard to foster a creative atmosphere in which people can express their identity through the work that they do. I have done a lot of thinking about the topic of identity. Whether someone is creating a poem, story, art piece, or multimedia endeavor, we all put a piece of ourselves, a piece of who we are into everything we create. The identity of oneself is embedded into not only our creations but our lives. This year the goal ofThe Sand Canyon Review is to tap into this notion, to go beyond the words on a page, beyond the color on the canvas, and discover the artist behind the piece. This magazine is not only a collection of different artists’ identities, but it is also a part of The Sand Canyon Review team’s identity. On behalf of the entire SCR staff, I wish you a wonderful journey into the lives of everyone represented in these pages.

As television must always create its spaces and places on the screen, what, then, is the significance of the varying emphases as well as the commonalities constructed in televisual high school settings in UK, US, and Japanese television shows? This master’s thesis considers how fictional televisual high schools both contest and construct national identity. In order to do this, it posits the existence of the televisual school story, a descendant of the literary school story. It then compares the formal and narrative ways in which Glee (2009-2015), Hex (2004-2005), and Ouran koukou hosutobu (2006) deploy space and place to create identity on the screen. In particular, it examines how heteronormativity and gender roles affect the abilities of characters to move through spaces, across boundaries, and gain secure places of their own. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ii Table of Contents iii Acknowledgement v Introduction Orientation 1 Space and Place in Schools 5 Schools on TV 11 Schools on TV from Japan, 12 the U.S., and the U.K.

    MINOR LEAGUE PRESIDENTS compiled by Tony Baseballs www.minorleaguebaseballs.com This document deals only with professional minor leagues (both independent and those affiliated with Major League Baseball) since the foundation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (popularly known as Minor League Baseball, or MiLB) in 1902. Collegiate Summer leagues, semi-pro leagues, and all other non-professional leagues are excluded, but encouraged! The information herein was compiled from several sources including the Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball (2nd Ed.), Baseball Reference.com, Wikipedia, official league websites (most of which can be found under the umbrella of milb.com), and a great source for defunct leagues, Indy League Graveyard.

Copyrights belong to their respective owners, including but not limited to MLB, MiLB, and the independent leagues. The first section will list active leagues. Some have historical predecessors that will be found in the next section. LEAGUE ASSOCIATIONS The modern minor league system traces its roots to the formation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (NAPBL) in 1902, an umbrella organization that established league classifications and a salary structure in an agreement with Major League Baseball.

    re p resenting the american theatre DRAMATISTS by publishing and licensing the works PLAY SERVICE, INC. of new and established playwrights. atpIssuel 4,aFall 1999 y In Kindergarten with the Author of WIT aggie Edson — the celebrated playwright who is so far Off- Broadway, she’s below the Mason-Dixon line — is performing a Mdaily ritual known as Wiggle Down. " Tapping my toe, just tapping my toe" she sings, to the tune of "Singin' in the Rain," before a crowd of kindergarteners at a downtown elementary school in Atlanta. "What a glorious feeling, I'm — nodding my head!" The kids gleefully tap their toes and nod themselves silly as they sing along. "Give yourselves a standing O!" Ms. Edson cries, when the song ends. Her charges scramble to their feet and clap their hands, sending their arms arcing overhead in a giant "O." This willowy 37-year-old woman with tousled brown hair and a big grin couldn't seem more different from Dr. Vivian Bearing, the brilliant, emotionally remote English professor who is the heroine of her play WIT — which has won such unanimous critical acclaim in its small Off- Broadway production. Vivian is a 50-year-old scholar who has devoted her life to the study of John Donne's "Holy Sonnets." When we meet her, she is dying of very placement of a comma crystallizing mysteries of life and death for ovarian cancer. Bald from chemotherapy, she makes her entrance clad Vivian and her audience. For this feat, one critic demanded that Ms. Edson in a hospital gown, dragging an IV pole.

  • Charles Joseph —Joe“ Brophy
    Charles Joseph “Joe” Brophy Cumberland Colts 1918; Chambersburg Maroons 1920; Martinsburg Mountaineers 1920-1922; Waynesboro 1923-24 Third Baseman/Outfielder Class D, Blue Ridge League By Mark C. Zeigler Remembered as a hard hitter, a flashy fielder, and a fiery ball player, William Joseph “Joe” Brophy was also one of the most popular players in the Class D, Blue Ridge League. Born on October 30, 1895 near Elk Garden, West Virginia, Brophy was the son of J. Patrick and Margaret Brown Brophy. He attended public school in Frostburg, Maryland, and graduated from Staunton Military Academy in Virginia. Brophy also attended Davis & Elkins College in West Virginia. Sports had played a large portion of his life, especially baseball. Brophy made his baseball debut with the Frostburg, MD club in the semi-pro, Georges Creek League as a raw 19-year old in 1917. A third baseman, Brophy broke into the professional ranks in the Class D, Blue Ridge League under Manager Eddie Hooper and the Cumberland Colts in 1918. Brophy was leading the league in batting (.343) and hits (23) when the league disbanded in mid-June. After his baseball season was curtailed, Brophy joined the service on July 23, 1918, and served in Officer Reserve Corps at Camp Meade, Maryland, from where he was sent overseas to France. Brophy was slightly wounded in action on September 29, 1918, during a battle in the Meuse-Argonne region, which killed another former Blue Ridge League player, Sgt. Leroy Bruff . Brophy was honorably discharged from the army on June 9, 1919. When the Blue Ridge League returned in 1920, Brophy followed his former manager, Hooper to Chambersburg PA where he started the season with the Maroons.

  • Jack Hurley Hagerstown 1916-17, 1921-22 Manager/1St Baseman Class D, Blue Ridge League by Mark Zeigler
    Jack Hurley Hagerstown 1916-17, 1921-22 Manager/1st Baseman Class D, Blue Ridge League By Mark Zeigler Considered one of the best all-around hitters, and among the most popular players in the early years of the Class D, Blue Ridge League, Jack Hurley left an impressionable mark in baseball circles in the Hagerstown, MD and Washington, D.C. region. The eldest son of Patrick and Hannah B. Hurley, John L. Hurley was born on May 1, 1890 in Dedham, Massachusetts. His father was a second generation Irish immigrant, his mother a Wisconsin native. He was an accomplished athlete and team captain of the baseball team at Dedham High School (MA), when on June 5, 1908, the high school junior jumped into a brook while still wearing his baseball uniform to save the life of 13-year old, Amos J. Webster. When Jack was in his late teens, he moved to the Washington, D.C. area, where he excelled as a third baseman on the sandlot and amateur diamonds. He was well known for his exploits in the Capital City League, and had captained the Rock Hill College team in 1908, as an 18-year old. His 6-foot-one, 175 lb. frame stood out among the other young men on the college circuit, and his athletic prowess caught the attention of Philadelphia Athletics owner/manager, Connie Mack, who offered Hurley and “Dutch” Heinrich a try-out in the fall of 1908 with his American League club. Though he did not make the team, he did earned Mack’s respect as a quality ball player, which would become evident several years later, when Jack managed in the Minor Leagues.
