  • A Remembrance of John Tortes Meyers (1880-1971) HENRY G
    Journal of California and Great Basin Anthropology Vol. 24, No. 1, pp. 21-40 (2004) 21 The Catcher Was a Gahuilla: A Remembrance of John Tortes Meyers (1880-1971) HENRY G. KOERPER Dept. of Anthropology, Cypress College, Cypress, CA 90630 NATIVE American athletes achieved their greatest recognition in modern sports during the period from the turn of the century through the 1920s (Oxendine 1988). Among the notables were several Californians. For instance, Antonio Lubo, Elmer Busch, and Peter Calac all served as gridiron captains under Coach "Pop" Warner at Carlisle Indian Industrial School (Koerper 2000), where at various times they were teammates of the legendary Jim Thorpe (Peterson n.d.; Steckbeck 1951). Calac was Luiseno, Busch was Pomo, and Lubo was a Santa Rosa Mountain Cahuilla. Another athlete with ties to the Santa Rosa reservation, John Tortes Meyers (Fig. 1), developed into one of the best baseball catchers of his era. A roommate of Thorpe when the two played for the New York Nationals (Giants) (Fig. 2), then managed by John McGraw, "Chief" Meyers counted as battery mates at New York and elsewhere. Baseball Hall of Fame pitchers Christy Mathewson (see Robinson 1993), Rube Marquard (see Hynd 1996), and Walter "Big Train" Johnson (see Kavanagh 1995). For his many accomplishments, Meyers became the first Californian inducted into the American Indian Sports Hall of Fame, presently housed at Haskell Indian Nations University in Kansas. This biographical overview chronicles the life of this gifted and courageous athlete who tenaciously embraced his Indian identity while operating mostly in a white world.' autionary notes attend the childhood biography of John Tortes Meyers.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

  • Professional Baseball in Pittsburgh William E
    “AN INFORMAL GAME” William E. Benswanger, an insurance executive and patron of the arts, never want- ed to be involved with the Pittsburgh baseball club, though he was an avid Pi- rate fan growing up. Pirate owner Barney Dreyfuss had trained his son Sammy to take over the ownership of the Pirates. But when Sammy died of pneumonia on February 19, 1931, at the age of thirty-six, a grief-stricken Dreyfuss turned to Ben- swanger, his son-in-law, for help. After Dreyfuss’s death in 1932, his widow asked Benswanger to become president of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Despite his earlier reti- cence, Benswanger became a popular Pirate off-the-field leader and a repository for the history of baseball’s earliest days. The Dreyfuss family owned the Pirates for forty-six years, until, in 1946, it sold the club to a group of owners headed by Bing Crosby, Tom Johnson, Frank McKin- ney, and John Galbreath. Four months after the sale, Bill Benswanger talked about the early history of baseball in Pittsburgh with clarity and detail at a meeting of the Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania. He is not correct, however, in one detail of how the Pirates got their team name. The Philadelphia Athletics of the American Association had not disbanded after the Brotherhood of Players revolted against the reserve clause and formed the Players League in 1890. They were still alive in 1891 when they fought Pittsburgh for the rights to Louis Bierbauer after the collapse of the Players League. Professional Baseball in Pittsburgh WILLIAM E.
