1949-2-24 Standings, boxes. The Colon Montezumas are foundering on the rocks of finance. The league president has heroically offered to the players' salaries and transport home.
"Admittedly the baseball this season has not been of the highest competitive standards but it also has not been the worst seen in local parks. The fans have not supported baseball to any extent this season.
"The old cry of playing local ballplayers is a lot of tweedle-de-dum, at least on the Atlantic Side. The Atlantic Twilight League plays five nights a week free of charge and the attendance would not overload a standard size Chiva."
The Cristobal Mottas beat the Chesterfield Smokers of the Panama Pro League 8-5 and 15-0.

This plan eliminates two of the four clubs that composed the Atlantic League last year, but leaves the present Isthmian circuit intact. There will be three ball parks available, one each at Colon, Empire, and Ancon, the Gorgona grounds having been abandoned last season."

1920-11-28 Four Homestead Steel League stars who will play in the Panama Canal League this winter.
1927-2-04 Talk. Jack Stoudner, one of the best local players, returned on the S.S. Ancon and has signed to play with the Balboa-P.M. club for the rest of the season. He is in good shape, weighing 172 pounds.
1928-10-03 Last year's crack Navy nine has lost many of its stars. It has lost seven players and found only two to replace them.
1929-1-20 Talk. "The game at Colon may be the turning point of the race for the Navy. If they beat Colon, they have a very slim chance of winning the pennant, and if they lose, they might. just as well give up the ghost. The Navy, now that the Fleet is in, will be an entirely different team than it has been this season. Virtually every position has been filled by a new man. And among the recent arrival will be found old favorites, such as Doc Dufour. Templeton and Orsi are the only old men in the infield. Michaels going to second and Young to short. King will take care of the catching while the outfield seems due for a wholesale change. Scott will more than likely pitch for the gobs."
"those who have made [Carl Boone's] acquaintance during his stay on the Isthmus regret to see him leaving soon and sincerely hope that upon his return to the temperate zone his arm will come around to be as good as it ever was and that we shall soon hear of his going to the big show. We hope he enjoyed his stay on the Isthmus and that he might find it convenient to return again next season.
It is reported that Big Ed Morris is leaving on the 13th, first, to negotiate a new eon- tract, and then to join the Boston Red Sox at their Florida training camp. On the strength of his performance last season he should receive as much as any pitcher in baseball and here's hoping he gets it. We know it has been a hardship for him to sit on the bench during some of the games at the Broad way grounds but orders are orders and he has lived up strictly to the letter of them, and most of all, he regrets having to leave in the middle of our baseball season. He has made a host of friends here on the Isthmus who will follow
his work in next season's American League pennant race and if best wishes can win ball games he will not lose a game next season."
"Skins" Hanner, 3b of the great Navy team of three years ago, is working out daily and may appear with Navy.
1929-2-03 Good talk. Barney Barlow resigned as Balboa manager, and Swede Huldquist will replace him.
"It is a rather difficult job to drop a new manager into. Last Sunday Lockhard. one of Balboa's two pitchers, quit the club. That leaves only Claude to do all the hurling. And it stands to reason that one man cannot pitch all the games, even if it is only once a week. Then to cap it all the club's regular third baseman, Larry Kelly, has a sore thumb and it is doubtful if he will play third today. Horter has been moved to center field and a Navy man, Lyle, has taken over his job. If Huldquist makes a success of the Balboa club as it is at present constituted he deserves all the credit that can be given him."
Navy will have two old Isthmian League favorites newly in their line-up today: "Raffies the old Coco Solo shortstop and Doc Dufour."
The Navy also has a player, Milburn, a 20-year-old shortstop, who will sign with the Cardinals upon his discharge in May. (Couldn't find him on BR or via a quick 1929 search)
Loftus, regular Army catcher, has malaria.
1928-5-04 Final stats. League fielding of .931. Horter led league by a mile with a .449 average.
1929-3-25 VG stats. League fielding of .943. Morris not listed as having pitched at all. Claude, Balboa pitcher, has thrown more than twice as many innings as anyone else - 85 v. 40.
1926-12-19 Boxes. "record breaking attendance." The Navy club was a shell of its former self - the Colon team, "without practice together and on grounds strange to many of the players," beat it 11-0. The worst loss the Navy has ever suffered.
1926-3-20 Navy beat Colon 5-4. "most savage and most thrilling contest of the year." Doc Dufour hit two-run homer for Navy.
1929-4-07 Boxes. Balboa clinched pennant. There was a "large and excited gathering at Balboa Stadium." "A few thousand fans."
"Cars were parked half way around the enclosure and the stands were almost full of wildly cheering rooters, who for the first time in many moons had the opportunity to acclaim a championship ball club.
Great credit is due to the excellent generalship of Manager Rudy Huldquist for the performance of his charges. Given a mediocre team, with all the imported stars leaving, and a position hopelessly in the cellar, and newspaper writers riding him and club unmercifully, Rudy bit his lips, gritted his teeth, got his gang together and lost nary a game, until today his team is riding on top of the league with only one team having a chance to tie Balboa for the pennant, and that team must win three straight to do it. The team in question, Colon, has very little chance of winning even two of the three remaining games and so Rudy and his Balboans can be said to be sitting pretty."
Some Colon fans came to the game for the express purpose of getting Horter's goat. Horter = Balboa player. Lots about him.
Army beat Navy 12-4 "before one of the largest and most enthusiastic crowds in attendance at the Colon Park for many a Sunday".
"Those who attended yesterday's contest saw the present Navy line-up for the last time this year, as on Tuesday five of [the] boys sail on the Cambrai transport for Frisco from where they will proceed to San Diego for "baseball duty". Those leaving are Orsi, 'Dutch" Raffies, Halloran, Witherspoon, and "Rebel Foreman.
Several fistically inclined gentlemen seated in front row boxes amused the fans with a little display of the art of self defense. The arrival of police spoiled the fun and incidentally prevented two of the participants [from] seeing the finish of the game as they were escorted from the park."
1929-4-21 Balboa 3, Colon Silver Sprays 2. Last game of season. Balboa was down 2-0 going into the 9th, when they rallied for three runs.
"The stands were filled to overflowing and the crowd was kept on edge throughout the game, players on both teams performing in a manner that made them all look like big leaguers. It was easily the best and hardest fought game of the season, and this with only home talent, all the imported stars having departed. The Colon team played without the services of Henley, their star third sacker, but Roger Williams filled his shoes at the hot corner in a creditable manner."
1929-4-21 "Through the efforts of Ernesto de la Guardia, arrangements have been completed for a little world series between the Balboa Club, champions of the Isthmian League, and the Fuerza y Luz team, winners in the Panama National League.
It is proposed to hold a three game series..."
1929-4-28 Fuerza y Luz (Panama National League champs) 2, Isthmian League All-Stars 1. 10 innings. 0 combined errors. "Before the largest crowd of the season, the Panama National Stadium being jammed to capacity..."
Fuerza y Luz described as the Electrics.
Isthmian All-Stars = Balboa Club.
1929-5-05 Isthmian League All-Stars 5, Fuerza y Luz 2. 3.5K ATT.
1929-5-12 Isthmian League All-Stars 4, Fuerza y Luz 2. 10 innings. "The stadium was again crowded to capacity with rabid fans who had come to see this decisive battle." Fuerza y Luz made six errors - Balboa 1. 0 combined ER.
1929-2-03 Navy beat Fort Sherman 8-0. "After three weeks' suspension of activities to engage in joint army and navy maneuvers, Navy and Fort Sherman resumed athletic relations when they met today for the second and last time of the season..."
"The game marked the appearance of Raffeis and Halloran in the Navy lineup."

1927-9-04 "The baseball game between Mayor Aleman's Panama team and "Milt" Horter's Atlantic Siders on Monday [9-05] is causing considerable interest. A large turnout of fans will be on hand to witness the struggle." Panama team described as last year's Panama National League champs. Rosters listed.
1928-2-09 Front page. "Every walk of life, from boulevard to by-way, was represented in the enthusiastic throng at Balboa Stadium to watch the All Star Panama National Leaguers severely trounce the sea going ballplayers from the Saratoga in the Carnival Benefit game yesterday.
The contest aroused great interest, and the turn out was tremendous. Spectators were ranged nearly all the way around the field. The stands were not crowded, but the game was well attended, if not heavily patronised.
Three boxes were reserved for the Queen of the Carnival, and Senorita Ruti Ehrman and her Court were the cynosure of all Kodaks. At 2.30 the charming Belle of the Mardi Grass took over the pitcher's box and gracefully delivered a strike on Alvarez, the Panamanian lead off man, after being photographed with both teams and half the Saratoga's officers.
After, the ceremony the Queen returned to her throne pro-tem to enjoy the struggle. The right wing
of the stands was occupied by the supporters of the native nine, and if the citizenry of Balboa could not tell when a run was scored for the Panamanians, it was not the fault of the rooters. The Saratoga's band furnished music for the sailors, but the resident seemed to enjoy their own small but effective force of musicians."
1928-2-09 Box. All Star Panama National Leaguers 7, Saratoga (Gobs) 2. Panamanians called "dusky lads." Jaen entered game in 4th for the Panamanians and held the sailors hitless for the rest of the game.

1949-3-12 The Carta Vieja Yankees leaving to play ball on the mainland were sent off with a banquet. The farewell party was provided by the popular local "Moon" Mullins, who lost a bet that the "Yankees would finish 1-2 in the Panama circuit."
The Yankees lost their last game on forfeit because they didn't have 9 players. Are 17-18.
Pat Scantlebury won the popularity contest as well as the MVP award, receiving 3500 votes. Leon Kellman received 3300 votes, Frank Austin was 3rd, and Clyde Parris fourth. Their prizes are listed.

1955-11-26 Talk. Three pics of C-V Yankees including Billy Shantz.
The C-V Yankees' pennant chances received a shot in the arm when they resigned Gilford "Gip" Dickens, the league MVP last year. With Johnny Kropf and Eddie Phillips, he will form one of the best defensive outfields the league has ever seen.
Joseph Anthony Nachio, better known as Joe Nachio, is the new field manager of the Chesterfield Smokers. He is a 37-year-old Scotch-Irish-Italian. He is having trouble signing players, as players he had understandings with curtly returned contracts unsigned saying they have signed with other winter leagues.
Profile of Nachio. (Pronounced Nakio.) University of Pennsylvania grad. Used to play in the Pro League. Is a successful executive with a local dairy product company.
Tells of Jim Tugerson, black Spur Cola pitcher, who caused so much controversy whilst with the Cotton States League. His presence resulted in a $100K lawsuit against baseball and four clubs being dropped from the Cotton States League.

1956-11-16 The Chesterfield Smokers have reached the maximum of four imported players with their latest signing. Four minor leaguers. Manager is Andy Cohen.
1957-11-30 The 13th league opener is tonight. President Ernesto de la Guardia, wiki, will throw out the first pitch.
"Joe Nachio steered the Carlos Eleta-owned squad to a thrilling sudden death playoff victory over the Beermen in 1955-56 after the Smokers had come from behind to tie up with Balboa in the last game of the campaign.
Nachio, who is Central America scout for the Kansas City Athletics, is prominent in the Pro Loop picture again, this time as co-owner and general manager of the Carta Vieja Yankees, the third team in the circuit.
Actually, everyone concerned owes it to Joe that Panama will have a league in operation this winter.
A crisis arose when the Colon group which owned the Yankees last season gave up the franchise. After negotiations to have the Detroit Tigers place a farm team in the loop fell through, things looked black indeed.
But Nachio saved the situation, and the circuit, by getting former Pro Loop owner Eric Delvalle to join him in taking over the Yankees. Joe went to the U.S. in late October to line up his team, which consists mainly of KC farmhands. Receiver Billy Shantz will be Yankee pilot for the second straight season."
Prominent players named.
"With the exception of four contests at Colon Stadium and the annual Chesterfield-Carta Vieja clash at David, all activity will be at the Panama Olympic Stadium."
Bleacher tickets are 50 cents, children 25 cents, covered stand 75 cents, box seat $1.25.

1958-1-10 Standings. Three teams. Commentary. 27 of the total 51 games have been played. Season should wrap up 2-4.
Herman Charles of the reigning champion Cerveza Balboa Beermen was the first player in league history to play all nine positions in one season.
There have been 57 extra-inning games since the league began 13 years ago.
1959-1-17 (Complaints about umpiring? Can't find mention))Boxes, standings. 2366 ATT.
1959-1-19 Standings, four good boxes, commentary. 2550 ATT at second game.
Recommends season start even earlier next season so 44 games can be played by each team instead of 36. "More games from the outset of operations could be played in Colon, David and Chitre. This would alleviate the economic burden of Panama City fans who almost singlehandedly provide the support of the league."
Pictures should be provided in newspapers next year. "This is probably the only pro league in the world where graphic reporting is practically unknown."
The club owners loosened their purse strings enough for the league to have high quality players - about class AA, perhaps. "This, however, cannot be said of the other supplementary elements that go into the making up of a league, some of which are rated pretty low."
1959-1-29 Standings, box, preview. The Kings are on the cusp of a crown.
1959-2-05 Standings, box, preview. If manager Les Peden does not play tonight he will not qualify for the batting title.

"Harris maintained his form by pitching for the Balboa Brewers in the Panama Canal Department Army League. His professional experience held him head and shoulders above most of the competition, as Harris led his Brewers to the Canal Zone League championship in 1942. To cap it off, Mickey attained the highest pitching honor in baseball, tossing a perfect game. On April 12, 1942, he retired all 27 batters of the Canal Zone All-Stars on only 67 pitches, striking out five, in a 9-0 victory for Balboa. Said Harris, “The greatest thrill I ever got in baseball came to me in the Army, when I pitched that perfect game in Balboa. I got more kick out of that than I did out of winning my first professional game, or even winning my first full game with the Red Sox.”
Unfortunately, Harris injured his pitching arm in 1943, and was unable to help the Brewers repeat as Canal Zone League champions. Still, he managed to help the Brewers regain their top spot in 1944, and set a Canal League single-game strikeout record by whiffing 20 hitters on March 27, 1945."
New York Yankees
1946-2-27 Joe DiMaggio and Tom Henrich won suits by hitting home runs. Pic.
Yankees beat Canal Zone All-Stars 10-3 before 2584 paying customers.
"The Yankees scheduled 11 games in Panama in 1946 and played against a team of Panamanian all-stars in the Canal Zone city of Balboa before an estimated crowd of 10,000. The Yanks returned for more in 1947, playing exhibition games against the Brooklyn Dodgers, who featured a rookie named Jackie Robinson, still nominally on the roster of their top club, the Montreal Royals. Panamanian Héctor López, who would go onto play with the Kansas City A’s and then the Yanks, said, “The Yankees and Dodgers came down to Panama for spring training [in March 1947]. After watching them, that’s when I really started thinking about playing professionally.”

"Yesterday at the National Stadium a well-deserved tribute was paid to the great player Gil Garrido Miles: people gathered to show their sympathy for the one who will soon leave for the United States in presentation of national baseball. Numerous sports entities gave valuable gifts to the "perfect Olympian" who has been called his friend Gil.-
But there was something that caught the attention above all things and it was the gift that the Department of Physical Education gave to Gil Garrido. Although you may not believe it, the gift consisted of 300 copies of a baseball rulebook in Spanish that a certain well-known local businessman had just published.
The five thousand fans who were in the Stadium, like the other thousands who were away for one reason or another, are racking our brains to try to guess what the Department of Physical Education wants Gil Garrido to do with the 300 copies of yore. to sell in the Santa Ana Park or to take them to the United States to sell them there?"
