1503 Harbert Behind these Walls - A Home's History A series exploring the early stories behind our historic homes. Lois and Lefty, a Love Story: 1503 Harbert Sometime in the year of 1913, a well respected businessman and owner of a "wood ware company", Louis P. Canmann, bought the newly built home at 1503 Harbert for his wife Rosina (Rose) and their daughter, Marguerite. Louis would die in 1923 at the age of 53, leaving the home to his wife and daughter. Marguerite married a man named Thomas Shea and the couple would remain in the home with Rose. The Shea's would go on to have three daughters, raising them all with Rose's help at 1503 Harbert. The three girls certainly all had their talents, but the middle girl, Lois, was becoming known locally for her love of dancing, singing and acting. In high-school, Lois fell for a young man named Gene Bearden, who was also very talented, but his pursuits were more athletic as he was becoming a phenom on the baseball field. While the two were certainly an item, their individual pursuits for fame and glory (one in the theater and the other on the pitcher's mound) tore the young couple apart. According to a Jan. 2020 article in "Only in Arkansas" magazine, "Lois Shea was a society girl who played piano, danced and performed in stage productions for the Memphis in-crowd. Although they became some version of high school sweethearts, Lois and Lefty, as she called Gene, were from two different worlds. When Gene graduated, he had several offers to play college football and baseball, but the school part of college was not his thing. He enrolled in a baseball summer school in Greenbrier, Arkansas. Lois moved west to become a Hollywood star." During WWII, Gene felt compelled to enlist in the armed services and in 1943 was injured when a torpedo struck the USS Helena, shattering his knee. Hearing this news from mutual friends, Lois left Hollywood to help nurse her old flame, and she never returned. Gene went on to heal from his injury and pitched in the 1948 World Series for the Cleveland Indians. Lois and Gene married and raised a son and daughter, living out most of their years in Helena, Arkansas. Around the time that Lois and Gene were in Cleveland, the house at 1503 Harbert became a rental property and was leased by Robert D. Newton and his wife Ora Belle. Robert worked for Grapette Bottling Company. Grapette was a grape fizzy drink made in Camden, Arkansas. Those bottles are now collectors' items. Harold and Betty Coopwood Morrison bought the home in 1955 from the Canmann family and lived there until they sold it to Michael J Porter in 1978. Bruce and Jane Williams bought the home in 1990. Current owners, Robbie Johnson-Weinberg and Michael Weinberg are the husband and wife team behind midtown's Eclectic-Eye..

  • 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.

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.

  • Bill Veeck. the Man Who Conquered Cleveland and Changed Baseball Forever
    Bill Veeck. The Man Who Conquered Cleveland and Changed Baseball Forever. By Bill Lubinger The morning of Oct. 12, 1948, was chilly and battleship gray. But the city of Cleveland may have never felt so glorious; its residents never so proud. Estimates vary. Some say more than 300,000 fans jammed the sidewalks of Euclid Avenue, from Public Square to University Circle. Others put the number closer to 500,000. They lined the city's main artery, squeezing parts of the two-lane thoroughfare down to one, all to celebrate their championship baseball team. The Indians had finally won a World Series championship - their first since 1920 and, as the cruel baseball Gods would have it more than six decades later, their last. Convertibles carrying the Indians' players and their wives and city leaders paraded the 107 blocks past a cheering throng. "I remember getting off a train and riding in an open car down Euclid Avenue at 8 o'clock in the morning,'' recalls Al Rosen, one of only three players from that team still living. "The town lined up on either side of the street. It was remarkable. The people turned out en masse.'' Teammate Eddie Robinson, now 91 and retired in Fort Worth, Texas, still remembers how the sidewalk crowds were elbow to elbow. Some revelers perched themselves on parked cars and buses. "It was wonderful,'' he says. "It was a wonderful year.'' A year largely orchestrated by a chain-smoking man in the lead car with reddish hair, a wooden leg from a World War II injury and a huge smile that matched his gregarious personality.
