SCRAP BOOK Pioneers at Providence College By Edward S. Doherty, Jr. An Illustrated Series of Feature Articles on the Men who gave the Start to Athletics at Providence College Written by a man who had much to do with putting the college On the sports map! This series will be published daily in the Bulletin, beginning Monday, and will deal with such outstand­ ing figures as Joe McGee, greatest all-round athlete produced by the college, and now leading candidate for the position of head coach of the football team .. Charlie Reynolds, hero of a never-to-be-forgotten 20- inning game .. Jack McCaffrey, the one-man pitching staff .. John Halloran, Providence College’s great catcher .. Bob .Beagan, father of football at the Dominican institution .. and others. Starting MONDAY in the EVENING BULLETIN “We Learned Plenty About Tackling in the B. C. Game—" That’s what Joe McGee seems to be saying os he posed for this picture when he was the outstanding star at Providence College. This is how Joe looked when he was Captain of the 1921-22 Friar Elevens. THE EVENING BULLETIN, BBOVIDENCE, MONDAY,..MABCH 19, 1934 Pioneers at Providence College by Edward S. Doherty ,Jr. Joe McGee’s Athletic Record One of Greatest at Provi- dence College.—-Now Outstanding Candidate for Varsity Football Coach.—-Grid Captain Twice. A pair of Crimson-jerseyed armsi plucking a flying football out of the air might be thanked for making this story possible. Why? Well, if Charley Buell, great /Harvard quarterback of a decade ago, hadn’t grabbed the forward pass Si. Siinendingef of Holy Cross in­ tended for his teammate and end, Joe McGee, it probably would have meant a Purple victory and Joe McGee would ' have' gone on to be a Holy Cross hero : Instead of one of the greatest all-around athletes ever to sport Providence Col­ lege silks. It was the annual battle between the Purple and the Crimson at the Harvard Stadium in 1920. Harvard was leading 3-0 and the long, dark, shadows were falling on the big horseshoe gridiron. The Holy Cross machine suddenly start­ ed /rolling. Hop Biopel and Simendineer began to gairi through yawning holes and every man jack of the Crusaders took- a new lease on life. Across mid- field to Harvard’s 40, then the 30, then; 20 and then 11-yard line the Crusaders galloped. Here the Crimson stiffened slightly but the Crusaders changed their tactics. Signals were snapped, the ball went back to Simendinger and Joe Mc­ Gee, subrend, galloped alone across.the. Crimson line—a chance of a lifetime. Then cun' the pass, bullet-light, straight for McGee but Buelli making a desperate Jump, hauled down the ball and streaked away from his goal line. On the next play, a soaring punt backed the Crusaders far down the field, their last threat repulsed. And Freshman McGee was still a sub-end for the rest of the season. The next fall had rolled around and providence College was starting Its third year. Among the new students was a ' transfer from Holy Cross who had passed examinations for the Sophomore class. Bob, Beagan and Franny Dwyer, also sec­ ond year men, and known as the ’’Fathers of‘Football at Providence College,” had lust received permission from college authorities to organize a football team, nnd this young transfer from Holy Cross one rf the first candidates to report, mtihs did Joe McGee begin an athletic carter that still stands as one of the i grfctest » Providence College history.

  • Barney Deforge “Luckie No More” ©Diamondsinthedusk.Com
    Barney DeForge “Luckie No More” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com On a seasonably warm Friday evening in Winston-Salem’s venerable Southside May 14, 1948 Park, the homestanding Cardinals, behind the two-hit pitching of lefty Jack Southside Park Frisinger, take the measure of visiting Reidsville 5-0 in one of four Carolina (D) Winston-Salem, North Carolina League games played that day. At first glance, it seems like just another day of minor league baseball in the Tar Heel State. After all, Winston-Salem, the league’s preseason favorite, currently resides in first place with an impressive 18-7 mark while the fifth-place Luckies drop to 9-12 and a full seven games behind their hosts. And being shutout by the 20-year-old Frisinger, a rising star in the St. Louis Car- dinals farm system, comes as no surprise to Carolina League fans. Said “to be faster than Harvey Haddix,” the burgeoning Cardinals ace limits the Luckies to a pair of singles en route to securing the third of an eventual team-high 18 wins. The 6-foot-1 Kalamazoo, Michigan, native strikes out seven and walks three in the route-going effort. However, several events that take place during the game that are suspicious and, unfortunately, a harbinger of problems to come, both for DeForge and the Carolina League. First, Winston-Salem officials report to the police there is a person in the stands “making heavy bets,” giving Reidsville and two runs which meant that if the Cardinals won by three or more runs, he will win all bets placed.

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

    MINOR LEAGUE PRESIDENTS compiled by Tony Baseballs www.minorleaguebaseballs.com This document deals only with professional minor leagues (both independent and those affiliated with Major League Baseball) since the foundation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (popularly known as Minor League Baseball, or MiLB) in 1902. Collegiate Summer leagues, semi-pro leagues, and all other non-professional leagues are excluded, but encouraged! The information herein was compiled from several sources including the Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball (2nd Ed.), Baseball Reference.com, Wikipedia, official league websites (most of which can be found under the umbrella of milb.com), and a great source for defunct leagues, Indy League Graveyard.
