1934 Colored Baseball Team: Chatham-Kent Sports Black History Month

Posted by Ian Kennedy on February 8, 2013 in Baseball, Columns, Featured Stories, Local Sports | 0 Comment

Chatham Colored All-Stars – Photo from the Chatham Sports Hall of Fame

They were champions, and trail blazers. The 1934 Chatham Colored All-Stars surprised everyone, and won the hearts of Chatham-Kent baseball fans as they became the first ever team from Chatham to win a Provincial baseball championship. Featuring stars including Chatham Sports Hall of Fame, and future Black History Month feature players Earl “Flat” Chase and Wilfred Harding.
Entering the competitive Chatham City League, the Chatham Colored All-Stars won their way to the 1934 Provincial ‘B’ Ontario Baseball Association title.
Their win however, wasn’t without adversity. In their final series, after defeating Sarnia, Welland, and Milton, the Colored All-Stars were up against a tough Penetang team, and other factors. After splitting the first two games, and with the game tied 2-2 in extra-innings of the deciding game, the umpire called the game due to darkness out of fear that the Colored All-Stars would win, even though it was light enough to play.
Eventually however, the Chatham Colored All-Stars defeated Penetang in the extra fourth and deciding game.
Not only were the Chatham Colored All-Stars the first Chatham team to win an OBA title, they were also the first ever team, comprised entirely of black athletes, to enter the OBA playoffs.

Earl “Flat” Chase: Chatham-Kent Sports Black History Month

Posted by Ian Kennedy on February 16, 2013 in Baseball, Columns, Featured Stories, Local Sports | 0 Comment

Born in Buxton, Ontario in 1910, Earl “Flat” Chase was one of the region’s top young baseball players in the first half of the 1900′s.
Chase was a powerful hitter, holding records across Southwestern Ontario for the longest home runs hit in several parks. He also was annually atop league batting statistics, including as a member of the 1934 Chatham Colored All-Stars.
As both a star hitter and pitcher, Chase led the Chatham league in 1934 with an incredible .525 batting average. He also pitched the final two games of the 1934 OBA Championship series, leading the Chatham Colored All-Stars to an OBA title. In 1935, Chase continued his winning ways in Chatham, helping them to yet another OBA Intermediate B title.
In 1939, Chase starred for the London Majors as they won the Amateur World’s Baseball Championship.
From there, he continued playing in the Chatham City League, helping the Chatham Arcades, Chatham Shermans, and Chatham Hadleys to OBA titles in 1945, 1947, and 1949 respectively. In 1947 he was again the city batting champion, hitting an impressive .471 average.
Sadly, Chase, who was inducted into the Chatham Sports Hall of Fame in 2001, died in 1954.

Colored All-Stars Lose Final Surviving PlayerFROM: The (Ontario) Chatham Daily News ~
By Mark Malone, Daily News Staff
One of the most storied teams in Chatham sports
history has lost its final surviving player.
Don Tabron of the 1934 Chatham Colored
All-Stars [1] died Dec. 19 in Detroit at age 93.
Tabron was a shortstop and pitcher for the Colored
All-Stars, the first Chatham team to win an Ontario
Baseball Association championship and the first
all-black team to enter the OBA playdowns.
The team was inducted into the Chatham Sports
Hall of Fame in 2000.
The Toronto Blue Jays saluted the Chatham Colored
All-Stars by wearing their replica uniforms for
a game July 13, 2002 [2].
"I never anticipated anything like this," Tabron said
at the time. "At no time in my life did I think
something like this might happen."
The last two surviving players -- Tabron and Sagasta
Harding -- received a pre-game tribute at the
SkyDome and threw out the ceremonial first pitches.
Harding died in December 2002.
Horace Chase, a son of former All-Stars player Earl
(Flat) Chase, spoke annually with Tabron for the
past few years.
"He was a nice man," Horace Chase said. "Very
easy to talk to. Very social, jovial."
Tabron was recruited from
Detroit to play for the Colored All-Stars as an
18-year-old. He lived with teammate Wilfred
(Boomer) Harding and his wife.
"I remember them talking favour-ably about him,"
said their son, Blake Harding. "He stayed with them
for about a year, a year-and-a-half."
Tabron's baseball skills saved him from paying rent
to the Hardings.
"They wanted him to play ball," Blake Harding said.
"I guess that was worth the rent. He was quite
a player."
Tabron later played against legendary pitcher Satchel
Paige and visited segregated states in the southern
U. S. with the Detroit Stars.
He threw out the first pitch at Comerica Park before
a Detroit Tigers game in 2003.
Even if the major leagues had been desegregated in
the 1930s, Tabron wasn't sure if he could have made
a team.
"I thought I might have made the No. 1 minor
(league)," he said in 2002. "I thought my hitting as
a shortstop would have kept me out of the majors.
I was not a great hitter."
Tabron returned to Detroit in 1935 and became an
electrician. In 1944, he opened the Tabron Electric
Co., a family business that ran for more than 50
years.
He suffered in recent years from dementia, prostate
cancer and congestive heart failure.
He is survived by his wife Velma, sons Donald Jr.
and Gerald and daughter Jo Ellen.

Thanks, tx, for these wealth of info ... terrific bed-time stories for me, mate ... lov them ...

CanofCorn73 · 02-27-2013, 01:14 PM

I agree with Jabez54. The stories, nicknames, and uniforms are what draws me to these Negro League/Barnstorming teams. Here are a couple of more you can try and/or research if you wish.

1) Harlem Stars- a barnstorming team in the 60's which was led by Goose Tatum and also featired Satchel Paige.
2) Kansas City All-Nations-team that toured the Midwest from 1912 to 1918, and again in 1920 and 1921, and from 1923 to 1925. It derived its name from the fact that its team included players of several nationalities, including blacks and whites, Indians, Hawaiians, Orientals, and Latin Americans.
3) Harrisburg Giants-a team based out of Harrisburg, PA. A member of the Eastern Colored League and American Negro League.
4) Bismark Churchills-the first ever integrated semi-professional baseball team based in Bismark, North Dakota in the 1930s. Led by Satchel Paige, Moose Johnson, and Double Duty Radcliffe, the club won the 1935 national semi-pro baseball tournament in Wichita, Kansas.

I know for sure that the All Nations and the Harrisburg teams are in the Negro Leagues Ver 2.0 created by NoPepper and available on the OOTPMODS site...

I will try to work on some logos to go along with the unis for these as time avails itself to me...

Wow, knuckler and txranger you both do fantastic work. I can't believe I haven't noticed this thread before, but this is now one of my favorites. Now it's time to start renaming some teams. Thanks for all your great work!

txranger · 02-28-2013, 08:18 PM

These are for the logo that knuckler did at my request in his color scheme...

txranger · 03-03-2013, 01:16 PM

Gonna make some logos, caps and jerseys for the teams of the Western League of Colored Baseball Clubs... They started in 1922 with nine teams and failed that same year... So here in OOTP we can breathe some new life into an old obscure baseball league... It seems they were all named for the cities the played in... So I am going with just a simple capital letter for the logo, the name of the city and the league abbreviation WLCBC at the bottom... Any thoughts or suggestions are welcomed...
