when the monarchs showed up in junction city, things had changed in baseball.he golden era of town baseball had begun to die. at this particular point most teams had like college players and young guys bats. took them to the room. and the monarchs had lost a game that day and he used the 33 bat and it went about this far from going over the fence and buck said he was talking to his bats and talking to the 33. i said i used you today i didn't hit the home run. if i had to use you the 34 ounce bat i would have hit that home run and we would have won the game. turkey when they interviewed him years later they asked him how many home runs did you hit. he said i have no idea because i only counted them when they won the ball game. so he was just a great player. he's on that team. of course, got bullet rogan in his final season. he's on that team. you have another guy called willard brown. brown was playing shortstop. actually he's playing third base in this particular game but shortstop. he ended. being a great player. he went to the major leagues. most people know

when the monarchs showed up in junction city, things had changed in baseball.e golden era of town baseball had begun to die. at this particular point most teams had like college players and young guys and they would have these band johnson leagues and be all over kansas, these band johnson leagues would be. so one of the things the monarchs pretty much handled those band johnson league teams. so they started to book other negro league teams to play against the kansas city monarchs in cities throughout kansas. so in the later years starting maybe 1937, you start to see the league teams outside of kansas city and in communities like this. the monarchs came to town with four hall of famers, which is pretty unique. the name that is not shown was the manager, andy cooper who did not play. of course we know he's in the hall of fame. they picked up another guy named norman turkey stearns. he was with detroit. wilkinson always would try to get turkey. in fact he had him for a little bit in 1934 when they played the denver post-tournament. he was a fantastic player. he

the monarchs came down and the were going to play in junction city.he newspaper said roguean's name iros undoubtly the most famous name in negro baseball nd besides being a freendish his fa hitter. his speed t and control was almt perfect..ue major league batter who batted against him said he was as good as any pitcher he ever faced. to this is what they write about rogan, he's going back to the ht races that the monarchs played. he's basically making that last round trip around the league. that kind of shows the popularity he had. when the monarchs showed up in junction city, things had changed in baseball.seball. the golden era of town table hae began togu die.ticular at this particular point, most s teams had college players and eu young guys and they would have these band johnson leagues all over kansas.so one one of the things the le prettyag much handled those bang johnsonue leagues. they started to book other teamn to play against the kansas city monarchs in the city. in 1937 you see the monarchs playing othesr teams outside of kansas city. the

there's a game in junction city i would like to add, so we will get to that. the first time the monarchs came was 1923, august 17. unique isthat was this didn't happen too often -- they came to abilene twice in the same year. backs rare that we go twice, so that says something to abilene right there. to 1938, but there were other games along the way. back in september 15th and got rained out again. 1939, sonother game in i can't give you much detail. we've got some interesting games. integration and blacks being on teams with lights in kansas was not new. people were prepared long before the kansas city monarchs came. in the 1880's, but feller, the first african-american to play minor-league a small played at topeka in 1886. there was another gentleman out jones andansas named he was from atchison. they played in the kansas date league, so kansas was one of the last leagues to include african-american players and a lot of people were not aware of this knowledge. first picture i found of an integrated team in the state of kansas. , there were scouts from other

a power outage at the junction, which led to many frustrated riders and it didn't stop here for muni's problems this morning. just an hour or two later, and the impacts of this fallen tree in the northeast neighborhood may have been a lot bigger. thankfully, it fell on columbus street at 5:30 in the morning. no car beneath it, no people around. it did, however, take down part of the muni line. they cut off the power before the city's department of public works crew chopped the tree up to take it away. than began the work to get that muni line back up. >> you can see they're working as fast as they can to get this done as soon as possible. >> it was the same crew that worked to repair the major problem that plagued muni this morning. a pent graph, similar to what you see on this muni bus, failed to work, causing a power outage at the debose junction. it kept trains from going past the church street station and forced those headed inbound to downtown to run aboveground to catch shuttles. frustrating especially those whose work involves the stock market. for them, only 15 minutes can caus

there was one interesting game in junction city i'd like to add so we're going to get to that.but the first time the monarchs came, as i said, was in 1923. it was august 17th, and one thing that was unique, this didn't happen too often. in 1925 they came to abilene twice in the same year. that was rare that they would go back to a barnstorming city twice. so i tell you, that says something for abilene right there. and, of course, in 19 -- i jumped to 1938, but there were some other games along the way. 1926 they came here in august and they got rained out. then they came back in september 15th of 1927. they got rained out again. and there's another game i know in 1939, i'm still trying to find information on it so i can't give you much detail on that but we've got some interesting games that i do want to talk to. keep in mind integration in the area of blacks being on teams with whites in kansas was not new, and so people were kind of already prepared long before the kansas city monarchs came. this is a picture here of the humboldt team in the 1880s. bud fowler, who was first a
