HOW IT HAPPENED
Riegert Was Trying to Avoid Certain Tagging
Paul Davidson, third baseman for the Lecompton team, told over the phone last night the exact manner in which Riegert, the Haskett player sustained the accident which displaced the vertebra is certain to cause his death. Rigert had managed to get in the bases in the third inning and had pilfered as far as third. One of the Cherokee players clouted a high line drive to a far corner of the field, which the Lecompton man caught. As the ball landed in his mit, Riegert dashed for home, intending to beat the ball in. The soldier possesses an unusual good throwing arm, and he sent the ball straight in to the catcher.
While still ten feet from the base Rigert saw thet he could not beat the ball, and was certain to be tagged. He took a desparate chance and slid under Capt. Ttarrs knee with his head.

Paul Davidson, third baseman for the Lecompton team, told over the phone last night the exact manner in which Riegert, the Haskett player sustained the accident which displaced the vertebra is certain to cause his death. Rigert had managed to get in the bases in the third inning and had pilfered as far as third. One of the Cherokee players clouted a high line drive to a far corner of the field, which the Lecompton man caught. As the ball landed in his mit, Riegert dashed for home, intending to beat the ball in. The soldier possesses an unusual good throwing arm, and he sent the ball straight in to the catcher.

Excerpt from letter from Tami Galatro:
Pearl Della Davidson's husband was old and ill. He died before the children
were raised. Wayne, my grandfather who was born in 1919, only went to
school for one month. He hunted for food. He worked loading docks at a
feed lot when he was only 9 years old. When he turned 15 he started driving
a chicken truck with his brother, Raymond, who was only 16. They ran from
Arkansas, down to Louisianna and back up to Chicago. Wayne was running on
his own when he was 16. He drove truck for 15 years. During this, he taught
himself to read so that he could fill out his bills of lading, and taught
himself enough math to know whether or not he was being paid enough. The
first 4 years he sent home what he made to support his mother and younger
sister and brothers. Wayne married Velma Weeks in Arkansas when he was 19
and she was 18. He and his brothers were very wild at the time. In time
they all settled down and became respectable citizens :) Wayne and Velma
moved to California during WW2. With them came Pearl and her husband,
Velma's mother and her brothers and sisters. Wayne and Velma helped to
raise his youngest brother, James Clifford, and Velmas two youngest sisters.
