KANSAS BASEBALL HALL OF FAME OLD TIME BASEBALL “DUMMY” MEMBER DALTON H. FULLER WICHITA, KANSAS BORN IN INDIANA RESIDENT OF WICHITA AUGUST 8, 1884 51 YEARS November 19, 1942 NEW YORK JOURNAL OF THE DEAF NEW YORK JOURNAL OF THE DEAF November £9, 1942 had Thea, \ Daiton Fuller Named to Baseball Hall of Fame Baseball fans out West will be pleased to note the recognition given an old-timer last summer, when a4 graduate of the Kansas School was honored in his home town, News- paper accounts were as follows: Dalton (Dummy) Fuller’s name _ is among the nine baseball veterans of Kansas, who have been nominated by the Kansas Old Time Baseball Play ers Association for the annual Kansas Baseball Hall of Fame _ selection, which will be a feature of. the annual, Kansas state semi-pro tournament again this year. Fans attending the first game of the tourney: will select three men from the nine named on ballots that will be preseaten at the gate to the park. Fuller, who has made his home in, Wichita for many years, started his professional career with the Joplin. Miners in the old Missouri Valley, league at the age of 17 years, where) he performed as a catcher and in-| fielder before coming to Wichita to} settle down as one of the most bril- liant semi-pro infielders in the his-| tory of the city.. Although handicap-| ped by the inability to hear or speak, | there was never a time. when the “Dummy’’ failed to catch a signal or | come up with the correct play, in games that were hotly contested overa period of many years on lucal diamonds. Asa youth, the Wichitan attended the Olathe School for the Deaf, and his early training in for the diamond was under the famous Luther (Dum- | my) Taylor, one of baseball’s greatest | pitchers for a number of seasons with | ‘the New York Giants. Taylor visited | Wichita not so long since and said at | ‘that time he considered Fuller as one] of the most adept pupils he had come “in contact with in his long career as ‘an instructor at the Kansas . School. | Fuller not only starred on/the dia-| mond, but was also rated high asa| football and basketball player. Three more names were added to} ‘the Kansas Baseball Hall of Fame} Friday night at Lawrence stadium | when some 6,000 fans chose George | W.

( For the boys in the 1942 K. U. basketball squad. } Detroit is the fourth city in the U.S. Pop. approx 2 million. In the last year and a half over 360,000 has been added to its population . War workers. Think of that in terms of a tow the size of Lawrence. I don't know where they have put them. The city is approximately 30 miles long and ten miles wide. It stretches along the Detroit river, which is not a river as you ordinarily think of one, but the connecting link between Lk. St. Claire and Lake Erie. More traffic passes thru that river than thru Suez and Panama combined in peace times. Mostly ore boats. Detroit, before the advent of the auto was just a nice rewidential town . It is still just a small town, a collection of suburbs. It is not metropolitan ath all like Chicago or N.Y. or Phila. We have no subways, residents do not commute by train to the suburbs and the papers print local news on the front page. Detroit is just an overgrown village with many square miles of small houses ang that is one reason I like to lave here. You think of Detroit as the auto city. That is true. It is the heart and soul of the automobile industry. So much so that the chief purchasing agent of Nash ( located in Kenosha, Wis. ) has his office in Detroit. Yet most cars are made outside the city limits. The Ford is made in Dearborn, Chevrolet im Flint, Pontiac in Pontiac. Buick in Flint, Olds in Lansing. In Detroit proper is Plymouth, Chrysler, Packard and Hudson and Cadillac. Dodge also ( Hamtramyk). These other towns are close to Detroit. People in Detroit buy Ford, GM. or Chrysler cars ajmost exclusively as all of us are dependdnt on the indystry for our living. You see few Studebaker or Nash cars in Detroit. Yet in spite of all these names Detroit is a one man town. It is a Ford town. When Ford changed ower from Model’ T to model" A” he did not know how to mke model changes as the others did and he closed his plant for a year. ( About 1927 ). A depression hit Detroit till he started again. In order to keep his plans secret he had most of the dies made in the Bast, Many came from Germany. People here can tell you Ford stories by the hour. The Michigan Manyfacturers Record refers to him as the Master af Dearborn. Few realize out side Detroit that he is smarter as a business and financial man than as a mechanic. He has put Wall St, in its place and everybody else for that mtter. The mest interesting place to see in Detroit is Gpeenfield Village, Ford's hobby. It is closed for the duration, so I understand. Next I would place the Ford Rouge plant. We do have gome big buildaéngs down town and night clubs and some exclusive residential districts. They are the same in every city. You have heard a lot about the Ford bomber plant at Willow Run. Its production has been a dissapoitment to both Detroit and Washington.They have been making parts for some time but completed bombers are just beginning to come off the line. When finally rolling as planned they hope to produce one four motored bomber an hous with one third the man hours per plane as now goes into the same plane being made elsewhere. But it has been a vast project and the number of dies, jigs and fixtures req'd has been enormouse These have mostly allbeen made in Detroit which has a die, jig and tool industry as an accessory to the motor industry, the foremost in the country. I think of Detroit as the greatest industrial center in the world. Perhaps the value of produts made in and about Chicago and some other centers mag be greater if you count their sweat shops but there is this about STi Tee a Page two. Detroit that I do mow and that is that in engineering and manufacturing practice they are on the average all of ten years ahead of any other center of the country. In the motor plants the manufacturing methods, the research laboratories, stock control, wage payment systems, etc. ase so farXdHM4axXK ahead of what #RU you see elsewhere that there is little comparison. Here you find the best engineeringzbrains in the country. Here we pay higher wages and make things cheaper thah they do anywhere else. Proof of that is the rapidity with which this center changed over to war products which in the short space of a year are far exceeding in value the peak of motor output. You cant see these things oy a brief stop here. Detroit is not &HKK entirely motors. It is the center of the drug industry also. Parke-Davis and Frederick Stearns #i make the most of them. All of those gelatin coated capsules of cod liver oil etc you see are made in Degroit. We hev blast Burnaces here also and the Great Lakes Steel Corp at Ecorse rolls most of the steel# going into #Oe##¢ autos. Detroit likes to call itself the $ "dynamic" city, as if there were something in the air he e groich gavesthe people living in this locality more enefgy than you elsewhere. The place is healthy, first in the U.S- in that respect I believe, but the thing that gives things here their zip is the orderg for cars that roll in from all over the country . Industry creates practicallyal}j the wealth there is and we certaily have an industry here. The people &Aere are like the people anywhere else but the motor industry has probably attractes some of the best engineering talent in the country. Detroit is practically free from the graft and civiv scandaks which seem to a part of most older cities. However I doubt that is interesting. I never have seen Henry Ford altho I have lived Bere for 20 yrs. Once I was in a small store down town and noticed a motherly elderly lady there shopping. She and I were the oly customers. When she left the clerk told me that she was Mrs. Henry Ford. There were no ladies in waiting or expensive clothes or big limousine outside. I don't suppose you practige for air raids in Lawrence. We do here. Have blackouts and the sirens wail. They had quite a time making them loud enough so that they could be heard very far. They are scattered over the city. But those in the know doubt that if MK raiders come that they will waste any time in the residential districts. They will spot the lakes from the air and follow the Detroit river and try to strike the three big power plants along it. I approve of ainti raider preperation but doubt we will ever see one much as the Axis would like to see us crippled. When you come to Betroit the Ke. U. Alumni here wil] try to sae you a litte of the city and perhaps the foregoing will help you to see under the surface a bit. The statements above are strictly those of a Detroiter who was born and raised in Kansas and went to K.U. and now lives here and likes it. They carry no particular authority.

This is just a thank you note. I em going to write Mrs. Pisher and tell her how much I enjoyed her and your hospitality and the visit with your fine son.

Allen, Directpr of Physical Education, University of Kansas. Dear Phog: T want to tell you and the team how much we all wnjoyed your visit with us on your stop over in Detroit. Although not a lot of us could get out due to the holiday rush and the fact that our notices were held in the post offices, I know that those who did get an opportunity to meet the team and see you again felt their ties with the University renewed. When one has been away from school for a long time, one's memory of the days spent there and appreciation of what he owes the school which gave him an education gets fainter and fainter and is apt to be almost entirely lost in the pressure of daily work and the competitive struggle to take care of a family and get somewhere if possible. But a visit of some of the boys right from school and of our old coach who was putting out winning teams even when we went to school brings some of that freffsh spirit of the eampus right back to use I thought the talk you gave at the dinner was swell, Phog, and your interview over the radio could not have been better. Had we started to organize things a little earlier we could have also gotton some notice in the papers. I never have received the material Chuck Elliott said he mailed me. I thinkithat we should have had something like that notice in the New York Times quoting you. That was swell. And by the way let me congratulate you and the taam on beating Fordham and swamping S$. Bonaventure. What did you mean with all those bear stories you were handing out when we saw you ? You said that you would like a copy of the plaque in the Fisher building. Here it is. HONOR ALIT ARTES In commemoration of the Sxemplary business ethics and zeal for fairness manifested by the Fisher brothers and their associates in every relation with those who have striven in the creation of this building this tablet is presented by the architects and all contractors. I had a card from Mrs. Barnes the other day telling how much she and the others in Birmingham enjoyed your visit. How I wish we could have stayed longer, we were having such a good time. I have written to Walter Shannon telling him why we were not able to stop and see him on the way from Birmingham. It was nice of you to introduce the team to Mrs. Fisher and take the time to stop and see her on the way t6 the train. I wanted her to see what a splendid group of well behaved gentlemen these Kansas athletes arée Well Phog, come and see us again some time. And in the mean time I think that you and the boys know that you have our very best wishes with you all the time. Very sincerely, . Br 3 President, Ke U. Alumni, Detroit area. Me April 5, 1943. ir. Bob Fisher, 16226 Cheyenne, Detroit, Michigan. Dear Bob: You heve heard of Rip Van Winkle -- well, I em not the original, but Iam his counterpart. When your letter written March 9th arrived I was heading up the Red Crose drive here for the University. We went double over the top, and then I had an infected footh and was laid up. Just at this time our basketball season finished and our boys were in- ducted into the service. I took them over to Leavenworth. In the rush of things I entirely forgot your letter, so this morning when I returned from the Central Association of Nealth, Physical ‘Biucation end Recreation meeting in Kenseas City I told Mrs. Hulteen, my secretary, that I must write a letter to the Detroit alumi for their meeting on the 19th. “11 the time I was living in a fool's paradise, thinking that if I got it to you by the 19th of April it would be there in plenty of time. But of course it just happened to be March, so I said to Mrs. Multeen, “Just go ahead and write the letters, the two that I dictated previously,” and then I would send you this one to show you how sleepy one can get when they are supposed to be awake. I would not have sent them only I wanted to show you that I wanted to show you that I had honestly in my ow heart carried forth the thing that I desired to do; wherens if I had told you that I had done this you would not have had prima facie evidence of such an act. So just make geod on my statement I am sending these letters to you knowin that it will take up a lot of your valuable time but at least you will know of my honest intentions. a | ee 4th all good wishes and appreciation, I a Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, PCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach. | Aprii 5, 1945. Greetings to hard-working Bob Fisher and all Detroit Alumni: Our University of Kansas basketball squad had a fine time in Detroit last Deceuber 25 and 24 when we stopped over for a work-out in the Y.M.C.A. and lodged at the Detroit-Leland Hotel, and enjoyed the unusual hospitality of the families of the one and only inimitable Bob Fisher, Gordon Saunders, Bob Mosby, Dr. Blwood Sharpe, Bessa David Nelson, and stopped by te say hello to Constance Ingelle Barnes and Oscar Hull on our swing around the Detroit burroughs for our Christmas Eve greetings. Sone of our country boys from the midlands, attired in their athletic sweaters, had dinner at the Detroit Athletic Club through the kindness of Prank Rising. Of course the swanky D.A.C. on Christms Eve was doubtless astounded by the boys from the state of Jerry Simpson and Carrie Nation. Johnny Buescher, who talks little but sees a lot, said he never saw so many millionaires wanting to give dollar bills away, and in his opinion the oiled joy flowed in thet club like Old Man River. Mr. Briggs, and many of the other prominent D.A.C. boys who were voted outstanding hosts. Dollar bills were chucked down the collars of some of our boys and they reported that they never had a better time in their lives and saw as manysstimulated gentlemen all in one place. They all reported that Detroit was a great city full of most hospitable and friend- ly people. 3 | On the before, December 23, we had a banquet at the Rackham Building. Charlie Slack, the greatest living athlete of the years 1922, '23 and '24, came up from Toledo and visited with our own Charlie Black of All~American fame. It was a great sight to see two famous Charlie Blacks exchanging greetings. Later Charlie Black of Toledo wrote me and said to please give his kindest regards to Charlie Black of Lawrence. They formed quite an attaciment for each other. | . Well, it was a great trip, Bob, and when wo started out wa didn't think we were going to win a ball game. The boys played to our amazement, ‘but it was the American soldier and sailor riding the chair cars along with our boys that caused this revolutionary psychological change in the minds of our fellows. ‘When our boys saw such splendid morale ami esprit _ de corps in our American soldiers and sailors thon their little petty a@ifferences faded away, and the big central theme was that if these service boys were willing to give their lives to their country can ride in chair cars without beefing or bellyaching, then weonsciously, I think, they —- thought it is up to us to do a bigger job. ee eee ae selfishness and really showed what a marauding Kansas team could do, and Say Aas Again, my appreciation to a great Kansas group. Sincerely yours, | Director of Physical Education, FCA:AH § Varsity Basketball Coach. April 5, 1943.. ‘ ur. Bob Fisher, 16236 Cheyenne, Detroit, Michigan. Dear Sob: I greatly appreciate your letter of the 9th of March. I. read it when it arrived and just this morning Iread it again. I note that you are going to have your annual meeting on the 19th of March, and I am very happy to send you a word of gresting to be conveyed to our fine Detroit alumi and alumnae. I was interested in the way Chuck Flliott sent the publicity material by third class mail. It seems queer that an intelli- gent fellow 1ik6é Chuck would do that. I want you to know how happy I was to meet your good family - your efficient wife and your two outstanding sons. I know it makes you very happy to be surrounded by such versatile individ- uals. « With all good wishes to you and yours, I an Very sincerely youre, Director of Physical Education, FCA: AH Varsity Basketball Coach. Detroit Michigan. March 9th, 1943. Dr. Forrest ¢. Allen, Director of Physical ‘Education, University of Kansas. Dera Phogs We are going to have our annual meeting on March 19th, as you can see from the- enclosed. This is the meeting at which I would like to have had you as our speaker if it could have been arranged. We are going to have a grand time at this meeting. We have ## had all kinds of luck in arranging it and I expect a turn out of over a hundred in contrast to the 38 who attended last years meeting. ( There were more than 38 there but that was the total of the alumi ). Leo Fitzpatrics’ evan said that he and Gordon Saunders would take charge of the singing for us and would do a little number of their own. I wish you could be here but in as much as you cannot I want to know if you will write the alumni here a little letter of greeting which I can read at the meeting. I have a letter from Fred and he promised to send me a recorded greeting from the Chancellor. These messages are appreciated by all. If you dont have time for a létter send us a wire, will you ? Do you remember that you wrote me that Chuck Elliott would send me some data on the team and the players that I could take to the newspapers here. I asked that he also send me: pictures of youe This was about the middle of December. When I saw Chuck he said that he had sent it all right. Well,I got it about the first of February. It was sent third class mail and is a example of the difficulty we are having with the mails these days. Mail simply has to be sent first class to receive attention. I'll never forget how all my notices of your coming to Detroit were held up. I would have liked to have had this material. It made very interesting reading, especially after having met the boyse I am enclosing in the letter the three pictures of you which Chuck sent as ZHH#X he may be able to use them. I'll close here with my very bes} wished to you and the team. Don't fail to send me the greeting as there is no one the alumni would rather hear frome Very sincerely, s. 16236 Cheyenne, ee as Detroit. ee mee. “DETROIT AREA K. U.

Our notice of their coming was put in the mail December 18th but as it was third class mail it failed to get out of the post office till long after Xmas, However we noti- fied as many by phone as we could and about fifteen of us had a dinner and meeting with Phog and the boys whom we greatly enjoyed seeing, Did you hear Phog on the air with Ty Tyson December 23rd ? On Xmes eve the boys were en- tertained by a few of the alumni in their homes. Phog Allen has been coach- ing basket ball at K. U. for the past 25 years and 18 out of those 25 his teams have becn Missouri Valley Champions. This year seems to be no excep- tion. The team won their games in the Hast, giving Fordham in New York their first defeat of the season, They have also won all their games since then with the exception of two against all star aggregations in army camps.

While we were not able to get in touch with every alumnus in our group we did get a few lines on most. We would like to express our thanks here to those who have helped us. And we would like to observe that we believe that the amount of achievement our alumni up here have attained, as revealed in the news items we have given you, can hardly be matched by the alumni from any other school. It is something K.U. can be proud of. Your 1942 officers, Robert R. Fisher, e'll, President Jack Kincaid, ¢'27, Vice-President Constance Ingalls Barnes, ¢'25 Secretary Jack Laffer, c'39, Treasurer.
