Turkey Island Susquehannocks at Delaware Valley Minutemen Christy Mathewson vs. Ray CaldwellMathewson leads Susquehannocks over Minutemen, 2-1 [/FONT][/center] Lancaster Intelligencer JournalA gem of a season-opener by two pitchers. Two unearned runs in the first inning was the difference as Turkey Island nipped Delaware Valley 2-1. Christy Mathewson took a shutout into the ninth inning before allowing one run on six hits with no walks and six strikeouts. Stan Belinda got the final out for the save. Ray Caldwell threw a complete game in the losing effort, giving up two unearned runs on six hits. Cliff Barnhart opened the game by reaching on first baseman Charlie Carr's error, stole second and went to third on Mike Piazza's throwing error. Danny Taylor hit a sacrifice fly. After Piazza caught Harry Lumley stealing, Rip Collins smashed a home run for a 2-0 lead. Mathewson beaned Piazza in the bottom of the seventh, and the slugging catcher will miss about one week of action. Turkey Island threatened in the ninth but Caldwell got out of trouble. Mickey Vernon opened the last of the ninth with a single, and a one-out base hit by Roy Thomas put runners on the corners. Mathewson allowed a sacrifice fly to Reggie Jackson, then Mike Scioscia singled in his first at-bat of the game. Belinda then got Carr to pop up to end the game. Jesse Levis threw out three Minutemen trying to steal second base. "It's a disheartneing loss, no question about it' said Delaware Valley manager Danny Murtaugh. "But we have to get over it and get ready for the next game." Player Spotlight: Ray CaldwellBorn: April 26, 1888 in Corydon, Pennsylvania Died: August 17, 1967 Ray Caldwell was known for throwing the spitball, and was one of the 17 pitchers allowed to continue throwing the pitch after it was outlawed in 1920. He was also known for being a drinker and that probably kept him from reaching his maximum potential. Caldwell is perhaps best remembered for being struck by lightning whilst playing for the Cleveland Indians against the Philadelphia Athletics in 1919; remarkably, despite being knocked unconscious, he refused to leave the game, having pitched 8.2 innings, and went on to record the final out for the win. Caldwell went 17-9 with a 1.94 ERA in 1914 for the New York Yankees, and he threw a no-hitter against his old club for the Cleveland Indians on Sept. 10, 1919. In 1924, Miller Huggins wrote: 'Caldwell was one of the best pitchers that ever lived, but he was one of those characters that keep a manager in a constant worry. If he had possessed a sense of responsibility and balance, Ray Caldwell would have gone down in history as one of the greatest of all pitchers.' Player Spotlight: Rip CollinsBorn: March 30, 1904 in Altoona, PA Died: April 15, 1970 in New Haven, NY Rip Collins hit .300 four times out of nine seasons in the major leagues. In 1934, he batted .333 with 35 home runs and 128 RBI for the St. Louis Cardinals. Collins is the only first baseman to have twice recorded no putouts in a nine-inning game - once for the Cardinals in 1935, and again for the Cubs in 1937.

He won American League West titles in 2000 and 2002 with the Oakland A's. Howe is one of seven major leaguers that went to the University of Wyoming. content.usatoday.com/communities/gameon/post/2011/09/art-howe-feels-sold-out-by-moneyball-portrayal/1Player Spotlight: Joe CollinsBorn: December 3, 1922 Scranton, Pennsylvania Died: August 30, 1989 Joe Collins played all 10 of his major league seasons with the New York Yankees, playing mostly first base.

Fort McIntosh Militia at Laurel Highlanders John Burkett vs. Bob MooseBurkett, Militia takedown Highlanders, 4-1 [/FONT][/center] Somerset Daily AmericanTwo stacked batting orders were held in check on opening day. John Burkett came out ahead of Bob Moose as the Fort McIntosh Militia powered their way to a 4-1 win over the Laurel Highlanders. Burkett went eight innings before surrending a run in the bottom of the ninth. He gave up just five hits with four strikeouts. Southpaw Don Shaw finished the ninth for the save. Bob Moose threw well in the loss but gave up solo home runs to Ed Ott and Tito Francona. Moose and Ott were teammates on the mid 1970s Pittsburgh Pirate teams. Ott opened the top of the third with a home run to rightfield, and Francona belted one out in the fourth. Moose gave up two more runs in the top of the seventh. Bobby Locke relieved Moose with two on and no out. A two-out, two-run single by Baldy Louden made the score 4-0. Burkett was great all the way to the ninth. Stan Musial started the final at-bat with a solo home run. Shaw came in and retired the next three hitters, including Ken Griffey Jr. who went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts. Player Spotlight: Baldy LoudenBorn: August 27, 1883 in Pittsburgh, PA Died: December 8, 1935 in Piedmont, WV William P. "Baldy" Louden had a short six year career in the major leagues. After playing for the New York Highlanders in 1907, he returned in 1912 with Detroit. Louden was earning $2,700 a year with the Tigers when he chose to join Buffalo of the Federal League in 1914. He batted .313 that year. Player Spotlight: Barney McCoskyBorn: April 11, 1917 in Coal Run, PA Died: September 6, 1996 in Venice, FL Barney McCosky played 11 seasons in the majors and compiled a .312 average with 214 doubles and 71 triples. He hit .304 in the 1940 World Series. Following World War II, McCosky faced another setback. The aftermath of a back injury suffered on June 15, 1948, was spinal fusion surgery in 1949, and though he played for four seasons after the operation, he was never the same. On June 15, 1948, during the Tigers’ first night game at Briggs Stadium, McCosky was injured when, backpedaling for a high home-run ball hit by Dick Wakefield, the left fielder hit the concrete wall and fell awkwardly on the wooden frame holding the tarpaulin, twisting his back in the process. Reflecting on the incident in 1991, McCosky, who had a plug of tobacco in his cheek, recalled asking Sam Chapman, the first player on the scene, to pull out the chew. Chapman did, McCosky passed out, and he was carried from the field on a stretcher. McCosky was inducted into the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame in 1995, and as late as 2001, his .312 lifetime average ranked tenth best among Tigers with at least 2,000 career at-bats, and 81st in major-league history for players with a minimum of 1,000 games. bioproj.sabr.org/bioproj.cfm?a=v&v=l&bid=3184&pid=9152

Appalachian Coal Miners at Philadelphia Phillies Ed Walsh vs. Bucky WaltersMiners hold off Phils, 8-7 [/FONT][/center] Philadelphia InquirerAppalachian outslugged and then held off the Phillies on opening day for an 8-7 win. Jake Daubert, Ron Northey and Danny Litwhiler each drove in two runs for the Coal Miners. Brook Jacoby homered and had three RBI for the Phillies. Ed Walsh went seven innings for the win, allowing only two earned runs. Joe Grzenda finished up for the save. Bucky Walters took the loss for Philadelphia, allowing eight runs on nine hits in seven innnings. The runs came early and often with each team answering what the other one did. Bobby Higginson put Philly up 2-1 with a solo homer in the third. Litwhiler doubled in two runs for Appalachian, but Jimmy Dykes tied the game 4-4 with a single in the fourth. Daubert tripled to bring home two runs in the fifth, but a Jeff Leonard sacrifice fly pulled the Phillies within one at 6-5. Ron Northey's two-run homer off Walters in the seventh proved to be the difference. Grzenda gave up a two-run shot in the ninth to Jacoby but finished off the game for the save. Both teams had 12 hits. Designated Hitter Del Ennis left the game in the seventh and is questionable for tomorrow's game. Player Spotlight: Ron NortheyBorn: April 26, 1920 in Mahanoy City, PA Died: April 16, 1971 in Pittsburgh, PA Ron Northey was an outfielder and played 12 years in the major leagues. He played baseball at Duke University for joining the Philadelphia Phillies in 1942. Northey had been seriously beaned while playing ball at Duke and left hard of hearing in one ear. He was declared unfit for duty with the Navy on two occasions. In January 1945, he became the first major leaguer to be drafted following the re-examination of 4-F players. He finished with a career .276 average, 108 HR and 513 RBI. 1944 saw his career year when he hit a team-leading 22 Home Runs, drove in 104 RBIs and hit a decent .288 while leading all NL outfielders with 24 assists. His son Scott Northey played 20 games for the Kansas City Royals as an outfielder in 1969. Northey was a coach on the staff of skipper Danny Murtaugh with the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1961-63. He died suddenly in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at the age of 50 after being taken ill at his home. Northey was listed at No. 60 on the top 100 Philadelphia Phillies of all-time list. philliesnation.com/archives/2009/01/100-greatest-phillies-60-ron-northey/www.baseballinwartime.com/index.htm (Baseball in Wartime site) Player Spotlight: Jimmy DykesBorn: November 10, 1896 in Philadelphia, PA Died: June 15, 1976 in Philadelphia, PA Jimmy Dykes played 22 years in the majors, with 15 being with the Philadelphia A's. He batted .280 with 453 doubles for his career. Dykes played in three World Series, batting .288 with 11 RBI. Dykes batted over .300 five times from 1924 to 1930. His versatility became legend when he played seven different positions in one game in 1927. Dykes was selected to play third base in the inaugural All-Star game in 1933. In addition, Dykes also managed extending his time in baseball to 40 years. Journalist Don McKean collected statistics that showed Dykes thrown out of 62 games in his managerial career and suspended or fined 37 times. Dykes said in reflecting on his career as a skipper, "The manager's toughest job is not calling the right play with the bases full and the score tied in an extra inning game. It's telling a ballplayer that he's through, done, finished." bioproj.sabr.org/bioproj.cfm?a=v&v=l&bid=201&pid=3934

Pittsburgh Pirates at Allegheny County Indians Frank Smith vs. Matt ClementSauer hits grand slam, Bucs scalp Indians 8-1 [/FONT][/center] Pittsburgh Post TribuneA six-run sixth inning blew this one open and the Pittsburgh Pirates took care of Allegheny County 8-1 on opening day. The Bucs took advantage of three errors by the Indians, as only two of their eight runs were earned. Allegheny player-manager Bill McKechnie was responsible for two of the misplays. Hank Sauer capped the six-run sixth with a grand slam off Dave Freisleben. The Indians lost starter Matt Clement in the top of the third when he took a linedrive off Sauer's bat and had to leave the game. Pittsburgh third baseman Buddy Bell left the game in the sixth when he was hit by a pitch and is expected to miss a couple games. Frank Smith went the distance for the Pirates, allowing one unearned run on seven hits. Tom Satriano added two hits and two RBI for the Bucs from the ninth spot in the batting order. Joe Beggs took the loss in relief of Clement, giving up five runs -- two earned -- on five hits in 2 2/3 innings. The visiting team went 6-0 on opening day.

He hit over 30 home runs in a season six times and belted 41 in 1954. He was the 1952 National League MVP, becoming the first player since Jake Daubert in 1913 to win the award while playing for a team that did not have a winning record (the '52 Cubs finished 77-77, the only time between 1946 and 1963 that they did not finish under .500). Cubs fans gave him the nickname of "The Mayor of Wrigley Field." He was well-known for using smokeless tobacco, and it has often been reported that after he hit a home run, when he returned to his left field position, bleacher fans would shower him with packets of his favorite chew. He was ranked #31 of the top 100 Chicago Cubs of all-time. www.bleedcubbieblue.com/2007/1/27/85610/5377Player Spotlight: Tom DalyBorn: February 7, 1866 in Philadelphia, PA Died: October 29, 1938 in Brooklyn, NY Tom Daly played 17 years from 1884 - 1903, compiling a .278 career average with 262 doubles, 103 triples and 385 stolen bases.
