  • After One of the Worst Starts Ever to a Baseball Career, John J. Mcgraw Became a Sports Legend As a Champion Player and Manager in the Early 20Th Century
    After one of the worst starts ever to a baseball career, John J. McGraw became a sports legend as a champion player and manager in the early 20th century. John Joseph McGraw was born in Truxton, Cortland County, on April 7, 1873. His relationship with his father grew strained after John’s mother and four siblings died during an epidemic in the winter of 1884-5. John left home while still in school, where he starred on the baseball team. Obsessed with the game, he spent the money he earned from odd jobs on baseball equipment and rulebooks. In 1890, John decided to make a career of baseball. He started out earning $5 a game for the Truxton Grays. When the Grays’ manager took over the Olean franchise of the New York-Penn League, John became his third baseman. He committed eight Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division [reproduction errors in his rst game with Olean. After six games, he number LC-DIG-ggbain-34093] was cut from the team. McGraw kept trying. He played shortstop for Wellsville in the Western New York League and showed skill as a hitter and baserunner. After the 1890 season, McGraw joined the American All-Stars, a team that toured the southern states and Cuba during the winter. In 1891, a team of All-Stars and Florida players challenged the Cleveland Spiders of the American Association, one of the era’s two major leagues, to a spring-training exhibition game. Cleveland won, but McGraw got three hits in ve at-bats. Coverage of the game in The Sporting News inspired several teams to offer McGraw contracts.

  • Go-Go to Glory
    Durable Lollar found niche as White Sox anchor, run-producer By John McMurray Soft spoken and self-effacing, Sherman Lollar provided a strong defensive presence be-hind the plate during his 12 seasons with the Chicago White Sox. An All-Star catcher in seven seasons of his 18-year major-league career, Lollar won the first three American League Gold Glove awards from 1957 through 1959. Although he was not known as a power hitter, Lollar hit 155 career home runs and collected 1,415 hits. He also produced one of the White Sox’ few bright moments in the 1959 World Series apart from their Game One victory, a two-out, three-run homer that tied Game Four in the seventh inning. (Unfortunately the Sox lost that game, 5-4.) Even though Lollar played well and received awards during the 1950s, he did not receive as much national recognition as fellow catcher Yogi Berra, who won three Most Valuable Player awards. As Red Gleason wrote in The Saturday Evening Post in 1957, “It is the fate of some illustrious men to spend a career in the shadow of a contemporary. Adlai Stevenson had his Dwight Eisenhower. Lou Gehrig had his Babe Ruth. Bob Hope had his Bing Crosby. And Sherman Lollar has his Yogi Berra.” John Sherman Lollar Jr. was born on August 23, 1924, in Durham, Arkansas. His father, John Sherman Lollar Sr., had been a semipro baseball player and was a veteran of World War I. When Lollar Jr. was three years old, he moved with his family to Fayetteville, Arkansas, where his parents opened a grocery store.

  • Knight Templar "The Magazine for York Rite Masons - and Others, Too" NOVEMBER: November Is the Month We Salute Our Grand Commanders
    Grand Master's Message for November 2005 At this most pleasant time of year, we celebrate the recent harvest and give thanks for all of God's blessings. This year should be no different. We are truly blessed in so many ways. It was my pleasure to award two Grand Master's Meritorious Service Awards to Past Grand Commanders and their Grand Commanderies, which have met the requirements for that award. The first was to Sir Knight George A. Hulsinger of the Grand Commandery of Pennsylvania. Next, an award went to Sir Knight Eugene Wright of Oregon. Congratulations to both of them for their dedicated service and efforts on behalf of their Grand Commanderies. On a sad note, I regret the loss of Sir Knight William Q. Moore, Grand Prelate of the Grand Encampment, Knights Templar of the United States of America. Bill was a great friend and one of the finest Prelates I have heard speak. For quite a few years, I thought that he was a minister. In fact, he was an accountant. His delivery was so good that he fooled a number of us. Every time I heard him do the Prelate's part, he touched my heart. I have never met a kinder Sir Knight than Bill. We who were associated with him are richer for that association. He truly lived his Masonry, and we will miss him. You will find Sir Knight Moore's In Memoriam and biography on page 9 of this issue. We extend to the family of Sir Knight Moore our deepest sympathy.

  • Pete Schneider
    Pete Schneider, “An Afternoon to Remember” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com On May 11, 1923, Vernon Tiger rightfielder Peter Joseph (Pete) Schneider turns in one of the single greatest offensive performances in professional baseball history, when the 27-year-old hits five home runs, two of them grand slams, a double and drives in 14 runs in a 35-11 victory over the home standing Salt Lake City Bees in a Pacific Coast (AA) League game. Batting fifth in the Vernon lineup, the former major league pitcher comes close to getting a sixth home run when his sixth-inning double misses clearing the left field fence by a couple of feet.
