    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 19, No. 1 (1997) The GRANGE LEAGUE From the New York Times, Feb. 7, 1926 GRANGE GETS LEASE ON YANKEE STADIUM Signs Five-Year Term, Contingent on Franchise, to Stage Pro Football College Stars Barred National League Votes to Prohibit Playing Until After Class HasGraduated DETROIT, Feb. 6 (AP) -- Harold (Red) Grange today made application to the National Football League for a franchise for his own team in the circuit. He indicated that if his application is granted he hopes to obtain the use of the Yankee Stadium, New York, for the home games of his club. Simultaneously it was announced by C.C. Pyle, Grange's business manager, that a contract had been closed with Ed Barrow, business manager of the New York American League Baseball Club, for the use of the Yankee Stadium, New York, for football games for the next five years. It was understood Grange would put another club in the New York field if successful in his bid for a franchise. Action on the request was deferred while representatives of the twenty clubs in the circuit buried themselves in the routine of their semi-annual meeting. It was indicated Grange's bid would not be taken up until the league leaders have taken a definite stand on the matter of professionalizing college gridiron stars. Ban Placed on Collegians Collegiate gridiron stars are barred hereafter from participating in national professional football games until after their class has been graduated, under a rule adopted today by representatives of the twenty clubs of the National Football League in semi-annual session here.

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 3, No. 5 (1981) The Pottsville Maroons ... won the title then lost it, not on the field but by orders of league president Joe Carr. --- The Encyclopedia of Football No team has ever been robbed of a championship quite like the Maroons. --- Profiles in Pennsylvania Sports One of the greatest injustices in NFL history had been perpetrated. --- article in Journal of Sports History, 1982 THE DISCARDED CHAMPIONSHIP By Joe Horrigan, Bob Braunwart, & Bob Carroll The National Football League isn't welcome in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. Not unless it sends back that championship it stole from the little coal city's beloved Maroons more than 60 years ago. Pottsville is not completely alone in its outrage. Every couple of years -- just when the rest of the football world is about to forget -- somebody writes an article called "The Stolen Championship" or "The Tragedy of Pottsville" or "The Anthracite Antic", and the whole story -- or rather, Pottsville's version of it -- returns like those onions you had for lunch. There hasn't been an NFL franchise in Pottsville since Hoover was President, Prohibition was the law, and a kid reporter named John O'Hara covered the Maroons for the local Journal. But O'Hara, who achieved worldwide fame with Appointment in Samarra, Butterfield 8, and a dozen other bestselling novels remained a Maroons' fan all his life. Pottsville's population today is down about 20% from the 25,000 of those days when the Maroons were as good as it got in pro football. Only a few remain who actually saw the team in action, but later generations know the story.
