Tomlinson left it in his will that his estate should be turned into public buildings for the city after his wife also passed. It read " He passed on November 14, 1870. His wife made a contract in 1871 by which the city would take ownership of the property and she would receive $7,000 per year until her death. Tomlinson Hall was then constructed in 1885–86. The approximate cost of the building, with running water and heating, was $137,500. On January 30, 1958, a four- alarm fire engulfed the building. Despite public dissent, the building was razed on July 8, 1958 as it could not be saved. It was not reconstructed.

  • 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.

  • “Play-Off Championship” Series
    “Play-Off Championship” Series The schedules for most Negro League seasons were played in two halves with a winner being declared for each half of the season. If different teams each won one half of the season or if the season ended in a dispute over who should be crowned the “league” champion, a Play-Off Series was held. It is important not to confuse a Play-Off Series with a Colored Championship Series or the Negro League World Series. The Play-Off Series was played between teams from the same formalized league. Many if not most Colored Championship Series were played between two self appointed teams, while the Negro League World Series was played against the champions from two different formalized leagues. From 1924 to 1927 the Negro League World Series was a post season championship series that was played between the Negro National League champions and the Eastern Colored League (ECL) champions. Then in latter years, there was also a Negro League World Series played from 1942 to 1948 when the champions of the Negro American League (NAL) met the champions of the Negro National League (NNL). “Play-Off Championship” Series (Summaries) 1941 Homestead Grays vs New York Cubans (Negro National League) The Homestead Grays won the first half of the Negro National League season and the New York Cubans won the second half. Neither team however had the best regular season record. The Baltimore Elite Giants actually had the best overall won-loss record for the season at 36-21 (.632). Homestead finished with the second best record at 34-25 (.576) and the New York Cubans were a distant fourth with a loosing record of 19-21 (.475).

Photo: Wright & Riley. Negro League Baseball Lesson Plan Note: Please review the Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune Virtual Experience Exhibit with students before teaching the lesson plan. Background One might ask, what connection does Homestead, PA have with Washington, DC? Perhaps one obvious answer would be the Homestead Grays baseball team. The original members of the Homestead Grays were steel workers from the Homestead/ Pittsburgh area. During World War II, the Homestead Grays decided to expand to new horizons and gain new fans by playing some games in Washington, DC. At the time, Washington, DC had a growing Black population that considered baseball a great family pastime. It was also a good way to inspire interracial interaction between communities. Families would often get dressed up and spend an afternoon watching luminaries like Satchel Paige, James “Cool Papa” Bell, and Josh Gibson, who were phenom- enal baseball players. The Homestead Grays collaborated with Mrs. Bethune’s National Council of Negro Women (NCNW). Every year, right around the time of Mrs. Bethune’s birthday on July 10, the NCNW would sponsor baseball games to help in the fund-raising efforts for the Liberty ship S.
