We received the first cal- endar from Larry Lester, Dick Clark, Wayne Stivers, and others who helped 1227 Washington St. NE Minneapolis, MN 55413 • telephone: 612-325-7815 • johndonaldson.bravehost.com PAGE 1 compile the first draft of the NNL (Negro National League) games, and we’ve continued to fill in that calendar between those NNL games to at- tempt to tell the Kansas City Monarchs story as well as the John Donaldson story. The stories between those NNL games were often fascinating, too, so we are attempting to fill in every date on the calendar with either a game or a report stating the game was rained out. What we have found in towns around Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, and every other city hosting an NNL team is that teams played in many of them to fill their schedules. We’ve found again and again every year these games were lucrative and the towns were often extremely welcoming to these teams each and every year. !June of 1923, listed above, is an example. Iola and Fort Scott, Kansas newspapers mention the games listed above, and while we do not believe that John Donaldson played for the Monarchs during that time, he was listed in reserves for that year, and has been found playing for J.L. Wilkin- son’s Monarchs “farm leagues” which included the world-famous All Na- tions baseball team. One official letter for the All Nations lists John Donald- son as the manager in 1923. !We do find Donaldson showed up in Kansas City for one weekend in June of 1923. Our interest in the Monarchs therefore includes not only where John Donaldson was during the Monarchs years, but where he wasn’t, and in eliminating him from games in 1923, we found him visiting “the boys” during one weekend in June! 1227 Washington St. NE Minneapolis, MN 55413 • telephone: 612-325-7815 • johndonaldson.bravehost.com PAGE 2 The Iola Daily Register, Iola, KS Saturday Evening, June 16, 1923 Page 5, Column 8 !The Monarchs and the All Nations before them had a long history in the area. George Sweatt was born in Humboldt, Kansas (as was Walter Johnson, the teams played on Walter Johnson field).

Newspapers in Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri are the most likely places, and it is also likely that if these games exist they will be mentioned in the Mil- waukee or Kansas City newspapers around that time.

  • Negro Leaguers in Service If They Can Fight and Die on Okinawa and Guadalcanal in the South Pacific, They Can Play Baseball in America
    Issue 37 July 2015 Negro Leaguers in Service If they can fight and die on Okinawa and Guadalcanal in the South Pacific, they can play baseball in America. Baseball Commissioner AB "Happy" Chandler This edition of the Baseball in Wartime Newsletter is dedicated to all the African- American baseball players who served with the armed forces during World War II. More than 200 players from baseball’s Negro Leagues entered military service between 1941 and 1945. Some served on the home front, while others were in combat in Europe, North Africa and the Pacific. These were the days of a segregated military and life was never easy for these men, but, for some, playing baseball made the summer days a little more bearable. Willard Brown and Leon Day (the only two black players on the team) helped the OISE All-Stars win the European Theater World Series in 1945, Joe Greene helped the 92nd Infantry Division clinch the Mediterranean Theater championship the same year, Jim Zapp was on championship teams in Hawaii in 1943 and 1944, and Larry Doby, Chuck Harmon, Herb Bracken and Johnny Wright were Midwest Servicemen League all- stars in 1944. Records indicate that no professional players from the Negro Leagues lost their lives in service during WWII, but at least two semi-pro African-American ballplayers made the ultimate sacrifice. Grady Mabry died from wounds in Europe in December 1944, and Aubrey Stewart was executed by German SS troops the same month. With Brown and Day playing for the predominantly white OISE All-Stars, Calvin Medley pitching for the Fleet Marine Force team in Hawaii, and Don Smith pitching alongside former major leaguers for the Greys in England, integrated baseball made its appearance during the war years and quite possibly paved the way for the signing of Jackie Robinson.

From 1920 into the 1950s, summer Sundays in parts of Kansas City revolved around Black baseball games. Families dressed in their best. Crowds by the thousands gravitated to the stadium. Fans watched their Kansas City Monarchs play the Chicago American Giants, the Homestead Grays, or the Newark Eagles. It was more than a joyful day out at the ballgame. It was a celebration. That scene captures the excitement of the "Negro Leagues," as they were known at the time. In that era, segregation policies blocked Black citizens from enjoying many aspects of American life. This included Major League Photo Credit: AP Photo/Matty Baseball. Black baseball teams were a source of fun and community pride. Zimmerman, File In this photo from 1942, Kansas City Chicago-based Andrew "Rube" Foster had the grand vision to launch the Monarchs pitcher Leroy Satchel Negro National League. It started in 1920 with eight teams. In 1933, the Paige warms up before a Negro League game. New Negro National League was founded, followed by the Negro American League. The financial fortunes of the Negro Leagues would ebb and flow over the next three decades. But their popularity and high-level of play stayed strong. Between World War I (1914–1918) and World War II (1939–1945), baseball's place as America's national pastime was indisputable. The segregated Major Leagues fielded Hall of Fame legends like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Dazzy Vance.

  • An Introduction to Baseball in Austin and Marcusen Park
    An introduction to Baseball in Austin and Marcusen Park. From 1937 to 1953, the Southern Minny League largely dominated in the state baseball tournament. During those years, the Southern Minny’s post-season tournament champion1 won the state tournament at either the A or AA level twelve times. Only once did the Southern Minny’s representative fail to place first or second when Austin dropped a first round game in the tournament in 1939. Despite the phenomenal success of Austin’s program particularly in the post-World War II era, baseball in Austin did lead a bit of a vagabond life. At times, there simply was no home for baseball at all and others no dedicated home. Even so, Austin has hosted many historic moments, players and teams. The first of which is reflected on the back of this Ted Williams baseball card. The referenced no-hitter in Austin triggered much of my interest in researching baseball in Southern Minnesota. John Donaldson actually lost the game with the no-hitter intact due to an error (or two). This game is believed to have taken place in Lafayette Park. If elected to the Hall of Fame in 2020, Donaldson will join Burleigh Grimes, Jose Mendez and Satchel Paige as the known Hall of Fame members to have played in Austin. 1. The Southern Minny held a post-season tournament to determine the state representative. Speaking of Burleigh Grimes: Became available when Minnesota-Wisconsin League disbanded on July 1, 1912. “Grimes, a new recruit, was on the rubber and won himself a berth with us.

  • William Bell
    Forgotten Heroes: William Bell by Center for Negro League Baseball Research Dr. Layton Revel and Luis Munoz Copyright 2014 Kansas City Monarchs (1924) Negro National League and Negro League World Series Champions ((Lemuel Hawkins, William Bell, Clifford Bell, Carroll “Dink” Mothel, Frank Duncan (Sr.), William “Plunk” Drake, George Sweatt and Homer “Hop” Bartlett) (Jack Marshall, Hurley McNair, Newt Joseph, Harold “Yellowhorse” Morris, Oscar “Heavy” Johnson, Newt Allen, Wilber “Bullet” Rogan, Jose Mendez and Walter “Dobie” Moore) William Bell, Sr. was born on August 31, 1897 in Lavaca County, Texas. He stood 5’ 11” tall and weighed 180 pounds during his playing career. Bell was a right-handed pitcher who was one of the best pitchers in Negro League baseball during the 1920’s. On the mound he was known for his consistency, excellent control and ability to paint the corners. William had command of a wide range of pitches. He had an active fastball that moved in on the hitter, a very good curve ball, a good change-up and slider. During the 1920’s he was a workhorse for the Kansas City Monarchs during their championship seasons. Bell was also known for completing what he started during his career. Our research has revealed that he completed over 75 % of the games he started. In addition William Bell had a reputation for always being able to deliver in the clutch and under pressure. During his career he was occasionally called on to play in the outfield because he was a decent hitter and very good fielder. He had his best two years at the plate in 1929 when he hit .296 and 1932 when he batted .295.

There is no woman whom I love more than my mother, I am light enough so that baseball men told me before I became known that I could be passed off as a Cuban. One prominent baseball man in fact offered me a nice sum [$10,000 in 1917] if I would go to Cuba, change my name and let him take me into this country as a Cuban. It would have meant renouncing my family. One of the agreements was that I was never again to visit my mother or to have anything to do with colored people, I refused, I am clean morally and physically. I go to my church and contribute my share. I keep my body and mind clean. And yet when I go out there to play baseball it is not unusual to hear some fan cry out: ‘Hit the dirty nigger.’ That hurts. For I have no recourse. I am getting paid, I suppose, to take that. But why should fans become personal?

  • African American Heritage Challenge One Cannot Understand Missouri
    African American Heritage Challenge One cannot understand Missouri history, life, and culture without looking to the state’s African American history. York, enslaved to William Clark, helped chart the course through Missouri for the Corps of Discovery. Debates about the institution of slavery and the future of enslaved and free Blacks shaped the Missouri statehood process, the resulting Missouri Compromise, and the landmark freedom suit of Dred and Harriet Scott set national policy. Missouri’s rich African American heritage is shaped by educators and entrepreneurs, artists and scientists, laborers and business leaders, athletes and musicians who lived, worked or grew up in Missouri’s borders. The African American Heritage Challenge is sponsored by The State Historical Society of Missouri, the premiere center for the study of Missouri history. The mission of The State Historical Society of Missouri is to collect, preserve, publish, exhibit, and make available material related to all aspects and periods of Missouri history. The Society also seeks to generate interest in and appreciation of the rich cultural heritage of the state and its people through education and outreach.

  • Player Interviews
    Player Interviews Highlights of Interviews with Former Negro League Players Luther Atkinson (Satchel Paige All Stars) – Luther played second base and shortstop with the Satchel Paige All Stars from 1955 to 1960. Luther shared these thoughts about his career playing for Satchel: “I was playing ball for the Carolina Tigers in a game in Durham, North Carolina against the Durham Rams, when after the game my manager told me that Satchel Paige wanted to talk to me. I couldn’t imagine what he wanted, but was excited about the opportunity to meet him. Satchel told me that he liked the way I handled myself out on the field and would I like to join his team. He was picking up young ball players all over. I didn’t have to think twice about signing. When I played for Satchel he was an old man and was mainly the drawing card for the game, but he could still play. I loved playing for Satchel he was such and even tempered guy, never got mad. I remember the first game that I played for the Satchel Paige All Stars, I got a hit my first time up and was standing on first base and the coach told me to steal. You know I was known for my speed, but I got thrown out. When I went back to the bench, I went to the very end because I didn’t know how Satchel would react. He got up and came to the end of the bench and sat down beside me. He could tell I dejected I was.
