         LITTLE LEAGUE in BURLINGTON began MAY 1958.  ROY McCONNELL, DR. LIEF ERICKSON, and DR. LAIRD McNEEL were the original founders. 40 boys showed up for the first sign up. The boys were disappointed for lack of managers. First managers were ROY McCONNELL, DON GIANNINI & BOB GROSSMAN. DON wrote the words for the B.H.S. SONG "WE ARE THE ORANGE & BLACK OF B.H.S."

1959

MAY OF 1959 - ROY MCCONNELL requested the assistance of the LIONS CLUB. Try outs were held and over 150 boys turned out. Six sponsors were secured and the teams were sanctioned. The teams were divided into two leagues. The GINGER BEAUMONT & FRANK ROTH.

GINGER BEAUMONT, born in ROCHESTER and later a resident of HONEY CREEK and BURLINGTON, was the first man ever to come to the plate in the world series. He played for the PITTSBURGH PIRATES. His daughter was a resident of Burlington, Mrs. JANET (ENOCH) SQUIRES.

CLARENCE "GINGER" BEAUMONT stepped to the plate for the PITTSBURGH PIRATES in 1903 AND SWATTED A FLY BALL OFF Boston Doves pitcher CY YOUNG. The ball was caught and BEAUMONT went 0 for 5. In fact he went 0 for 12 before getting his first hit in game 4. Game 4 he was 3 for 4. In 1899 he signed with the PIRATES for $2,400.00 a year. He thought he was a MILLIONAIRE.  Later in his career his salary was raised to $3,500.00 a year.  His highest batting average was .357 in 1902 beating out the great HONUS WAGNER. He had a distinguished 12 year career batting a lifetime .311 for the PIRATES, DOVES & CHICAGO CUBS. He retired in 1911 to paint houses in RACINE COUNTY. He was elected as a member of the first class to be inducted into the WISCONSIN SPORTS HALL of FAME in 1951. He died in BURLINGTON IN 1956.

The LITTLE LEAGUE program required all the profits from the BAR - B - Q but it was worth every penny.  There was an old saying back in 1959.  The ROTARIANS owned the city, the KIWANIANS ran the city, but the LIONS had the most fun.

JULY 13 1961. JIM KERKMAN pitched a perfect game. He faced 18 batters and had 18 strike‑outs. REINEMANS won 8 to 0 over the KORKYS.

Letter received from JIM KERKMAN: JIM KERKMAN and his wife SHARON live in MADISON WISC. They have 3 children and JIM works for the I R S. In 1958 JIM had two very close friends NICK WAGNER & DAVE LUEBBERS.  Nick played for GROSSMANS and DAVE played for DONS LITTLE CHEESES. NICK took JIM to a game where BRUCE LOGAN (JOHNNY LOGAN'S SON) was playing a  game behind B H S. DON GIANNINI was a friend of JOHNNY LOGAN (who played for the MILWAUKEE BRAVES) & made the arrangements for BRUCE LOGAN to play. Every time that BRUCE LOGAN batted, NICK WAGNER struck him out. JIM talks about how the 4 coaches picked their players. He was only nine and was drafted by MR. ROTHERING as his second choice. Another pitcher JIM talks about is DICK BUCHOLTZ who played for the MONTGOMERY WARDS team. In 1960 JIM'S dad taught him the change ‑ up curve. JIM states he not only could strike out hitters but could make them look extremely silly. When JIM pitched to his father he taught him control. Any wild pitches JIM would have to chase them. JIM tells of the game where NICK WAGNER hit him with a pitched ball. JIM was laying on the ground and NICK was yelling at the umpire "HE DIDN'T TRY AND GET OUT OF THE WAY SO HE SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO GO TO FIRST BASE". Later in the year NICK gave JIM one of the best compliments he ever had in his whole life. NICK told JIM "YOU KNOW YOU'RE ALMOST AS GOOD AS I AM".    In 1961 JIM pitched a perfect game, he struck out 18 players.  In 1962 JIM met another good pitcher, his name was RICH KAYSER.  RICH was able to hit JIM'S fast ball and curve ball. Sentry had a pitcher by the name of MARK MULLIGAN. JIM said he could throw very hard. Another player PHIL UMNUS who was one of their better hitters. PHIL was a left handed batter, could not hit JIM'S pitching because he was a left handed pitcher. He kept throwing the ball at PHIL'S head and the ball would curve over the plate. 1962 BURLINGTON entered the MILWAUKEE tournament. JIM pitched and beat CUDAHY 4 ‑ 1. JIM talks about playing with the MERCHANTS. His manager was DAVID UMNUS. His last game at MUKWONAGO he went 5 for 5. He likes to remember that game above anything else.

These words were spoken "Minor League has reached its maximum growth, both from a FINANCIAL and an ETHICAL point of view. It would cost to much to organize any more teams, you would build it up beyond its intended proportion. Today's program is Ideal, I hope it stays this way. (spoken by  ANDREW EISENBART.)

No coach or Manager can be in the coaching box. No TOBACCO of any form is allowed. Only 2 twelve year olds may pitch in a week and no more than 6 innings for each pitcher.

RON ANTON was the player of the week for the BURLINGTON MERCHANTS. Ron discussed that when he was in sixth grade he tried out for a outfielder, but they didn't have a catcher and he volunteered. Ron stated that he has been catching ever since and it is great. Ron first started organized baseball in 1951. He tried out for the "ST. JOHN NEPOMUK TEAM." Ron stated the outfielders and infielders played catch but the pitchers could not practice because there were no catchers. One day Ron put on the tools of ignorance, since that day he has worn the catching gear through the PAROCHIAL LEAGUE - CADET LEAGUE - RACINE LIONS to the final CONNIE MACK GREAT LAKES REGIONAL tournament in FORT WAYNE INDIANA. Ron went to WHITEWATER where he played 4 years of football and 2 years of baseball. Ron talks about his memories - one hitters, 2 hitters and even NO hitters. His big thrill was picking off 4 runners at 2nd base in one game. He came within one out of catching a perfect game. Ron's IDOL in base ball was YOGI BERRA. Ron's nick name in his early years was "YOGI". Ron states the one thing that will stick in his mind is the players he played with or against. For without them and the tools of "IGNORANCE" he would never have had the enjoyable days of baseball.

These people just CRITICIZE our youth and have very little to offer." The difference in whether a person passes or fails in life is what he does with his leisure time, and that's where sports enter in. Athletes are more willing to give their lives for their country, for they have found the true reasons for WINNING, COMPETITION  & LOYALTY. There are five secrets that bring out the sand lot ball player into the big time: (a) SKILL (b) SPEED (c) STRENGTH (d) STAMINA & (e) SELF ‑ DISCIPLINE.

1974 

MARCH 4 1974: JIM SPIEGELHOFF is the president of both leagues. The school board has agreed to let the league use all 3 diamonds at WALLER school. 

SHARON MAMATH and TAMMY WOODRUFF wanted to play little league ball. President JIM SPIEGELHOFF had to say "no." The rules of little league do not allow girls to play as of this season and as of this date, May 8th 1974. There are court cases in the east hoping to change this rule. A comment was made that they were two of the better players in the try outs. JOE ARRIGO of MILWAUKEE spoke to the BURLINGTON LIONS CLUB. He stated that girls should not play little league baseball and that Little League is for fathers and sons. Little League started in 1939 by CARL STOLTZ. 

Names of the some of players for the 1974 season: GARY & GREG GERFEN ‑ KEVIN WEILER ‑ PAT KERKHOFF ‑ ROD GRETEBECK ‑ KEVIN BIRKY ‑ BRAD LOIS ‑ KEN KLINE ‑ DON GRASSKOPF ‑ JEFF MORROW ‑ MIKE KRISMER - SCOTT VONDRA ‑ LAIRD HINTZ ‑ KEITH KOENEN ‑ WAYNE FELL ‑ BOB REESMAN ‑ BUCK & RANDY SPIEGELHOFF ‑ STEVE RUETER ‑ MIKE ROLA ‑ CLIFF KOHLER ‑ JEFF BARTZ ‑ BILL McCOURT ‑ CRAIG BRAUNSCHWEIG ‑ TIM THOMPSON ‑ BOB RIGGS ‑ BILL BETZIG ‑ DOUG HOZESKA ‑ DAN STEFFENS ‑ SHARON MAMATH ‑ TAMMY WOODRUFF. 

SHARON MAMATH & TAMMY WOODRUFF were the first two girls to play little league baseball in BURLINGTON. After many years in the courts, the national little league organization finally allowed the girls to play little league baseball. The first years in little league were very difficult for some of the girls. Some managers, coaches, and parents would not accept them in the program. Soon after the courts allowed the girls to play, some managers attempted to change the rule by making it mandatory that all girls had to wear a CUP. Thank GOD there were no managers in BURLINGTON with this attitude. As of 1993 hundreds of girls have played in the program, learning the fundamentals and good sportsmanship of baseball. Their learning knowledge helped them when they changed over to playing soft ball, and later in life after graduating from high school. 

TAMMY WOODRUFF played with the MINIS and the MINIS won the league championship. SHARON MAMATH played with the MIDLAND MITES.  SHARON has taken over her father's business "MAMATH LOCK & KEY." She states that what she have learned in little league helped her through high school, serving in the army & now running her father's business. Sharon showed her determination in little league, and soon she was recognized by the boys and coaches for her ATHLETIC ABILITIES. Her coach recognized her and she soon became a starter and played her favorite position ‑ 1st BASE. Sharon said the experience in little league competition with the opposite sex taught her not to give up on herself or other people. Always keep trying knowing she would succeed the IDEA or the MISSION. Thank GOD the first girls to break into LITTLE LEAGUE proved that they could compete with boys sports. Many girls were misjudged, misused, and humiliated, but they hung in there and today (1993) the girls have broken into the sports at all levels. High schools now have accepted the girls sports program and we can watch some very talented ladies perform in the world of sports.

JUNE 12 1974: TIGERS 6 and 3; MIDLAND 6 and 0. WHIZ KIDS defeat the MINIS 15 ‑ 14 for the overall championship.

The throw to the plate eluded the catcher and two runs scored. WHIZ KIDS win the game. 

BEAUMONT ALL STARS defeat the ROTH ALL‑ STARS 4 ‑ 1   DAVE KERKHOFF and GREG & GARY GERFEN pitched a great game.  ROTH only had 6 hits. BRAUNSCHWEIG & THOMPSON each had 2 hits.

RUSS MATTHES had rule on his team. If a batter was called out on strikes, after the game he had to run a lap around the field. After one of his games, RUSS informed CHRIS BAUMAN that he had to run a lap because he had been called out on strikes. CHRIS explained to RUSS that ROLLY had called him out on the 2nd strike. RUSS told CHRIS that because he let ROLLY call him out with 2 strikes that he would have to run 2 laps.

Another game RUSS's son TODD was pitching; he was having problems. ROLLY was calling too many balls. RUSS finally came out of the dug out and yelled to me "HEY ROLLY, YOU KNOW I'M A LUTHERAN TOO."

RUSS MATTHES retires from the little league program in BURLINGTON after 10 years. He retired so that he could devote more time to his family.

FRANK ROTH, a former MAJOR LEAGUER, spent much of his retirement in BURLINGTON. He died in 1955. Few people are aware that FRANK ROTH’S brother was another league player - "ROBERT FRANCIS ROTH." In his 8 years he had an admirable record. He was nicknamed "BRAGGO." He had a lifetime batting average of .284 and he stole 389 bases in his career. If it were not for BRAGGO, the BLACK SOX scandal might never have occurred. It seems that BRAGGO was traded to CLEVELAND in a 1917 deal. This sent SHOELESS JOE JACKSON to CHICAGO. JACKSON helped to throw the 1919 world series and he was kicked out of baseball by commissioner KENESAW MOUNTAIN LANDIS. BRAGGO has a mystery record of having hit 36 homers in one season. In the early days if a ball bounced over the fence, it was a home run, now it is a ground rule double. BRAGGO died SEPT. 17, 1936 in a car accident.

On Oct. 23rd 1992, 5:30 in the morning Michael was aroused by smoke. He went to the bathroom saw that it was filled with smoke. Michael closed the door woke up his parents, two brothers, and a sister. His quick thinking of closing the door helped to save the home. Ashes from a wood burning stove started the fire.

KIWANIS STATE TITLE BID FALLS SHORT The KIWANIS stranded nine

base runners in losing to to HORICON 2-1 in eight innings. Racine's failure

to score more offset an outstanding pitching by JEEP HUELSKAMP. JEEP H. went

the distance. He struck out 11 batters, allowed only 3 hits & walked 3.

The loss was just JEEP HUELSKAMP 3rd in 10 games. Mr. SCHIESTLE words were

"JEEP was tremendous, he was in command for the whole game."

RYAN DUSSAULT rewrote the county's passing records. He completed

115 of a possible 204 for a total of 1,837 yards. His record shows 29 touch

downs & only had 5 interceptions. He was 1 vote short for being elected to

second team ALL STAR HONORS. JEREMY UHLENHAKE a split end finished with 39

receptions for 785 yards & 16 touch downs. DAN JOHNSON finished with 3,606

of total offense. DAN stands 6'4" & is 275 pounds. BURLINGTON foot ball

BHS  defeats WESTOSHA CENTRAL 40 ‑ 0.  This win provided MR. DON DALTON with his 200th victory. DON started coaching in 1969. His record is 200 wins ‑ 56 loses ‑ 1 tie ‑ 22 conference championships & 2 undefeated seasons. Present at the celebration was MR GREG HOFFMAN the first quarterback for his first victory of his 200 wins. His first team went 9 & 0 in the year 1969. GREG HOFFMAN is the father of current BURLINGTON QUARTERBACK RYAN HOFFMAN. RYAN had a good night against W. CENTRAL. He completed 10 of 18 passes for 193 yards, & 4 touch downs in what was a career high night. Mud spattered players roared in UNISON for a coach who was more like a second father to them. A banner with the words "CONGRATULATION MR. DALTON ON YOUR 200th WIN" was unfurled for the large crowd.

BHS plays SOUTH MILW. in their first play off game for 1995. BHS dominated the whole game. The team played excellent defense & offense. Score of the game was BHS  40  & SO MILW.  6.  SO. MILW. scored its 6 points on the last play of the game.

BHS plays PARK HIGH SCHOOL at Plymouth. B H S hopes to become the first team in school history to win a second‑round WIAA football play off game. MARK SHEPHERDSON has gained 1358 yards going into this game. BHS defeats PLYMOUTH by a score of 21 ‑ 14. What a great victory. The disappointment of the past years is finally put behind coach DON DALTON. RYAN HOFFMAN hit ANDY SCHUMACHER on a 48 yard touch down pass with less then 5 minutes to play. One of the turning points before the touch down was PLYMOUTH needed 1 yard for a first down on the BURLINGTON 24 yard line. The DEMONS stopped  them & BURLINGTON took over.

BHS is ready to play MONROE HIGH SCHOOL at JANESVILLE'S MONTEREY STADIUM. This game will be W I A A division 2 semifinal. Coach DALTON spoke "I HAVE AN INTERNAL FEELING THAT WE’RE GOING TO PLAY IN MADISON."  Game time a very cold & windy day. It was not our day. MONROE  23 & BURLINGTON  0. We can all be proud of our football team for 1995.

MIDDLE SCHOOL  FOOTBALL

ALISON BRABAZON & MEGAN WAGNER become the first two girls to break into the BHS football program. Both girls attend the MIDDLE SCHOOL. Both girls played in the BURLINGTON LITTLE LEAGUE program. More girls would be involved but they had to choose between football and volleyball. The two girls wanted to play football & proceeded to get 121 signatures from classmates, teachers & teammates. BERNIE SCHYVINCK said the girls will not get preferential or special treatment. One big difference will be to fit their uniforms. The girls are 2 of 50 total players. There never are any cuts. ALLISON is 5' 6" and 104 lbs. a wide receiver. MEGAN is 5' 4" and 115 lbs. a fullback.  This is interesting to me, I've been involved with girls playing BASKETBALL, LITTLE LEAGUE and now FOOTBALL in the BURLINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT. I wonder how long before WRESTLING.

 

THOUGHTS ON MAJOR LEAGUE PLAYER STRIKE
 

After 8 months of striking the MAJOR league baseball players have decided to go back to playing ball, there are a lot of unhappy fans. There is a lot of discussion on players getting too much $$$ ‑ owners are making to much $$$. It’s hard to believe that players making millions of $$ are not happy. Owners are making millions and they still want more. This is the sad part, both sides are making millions of $$$ & they want the tax payers to build them a new stadium. A baseball lottery was turned down by the voters. The GOV. in MADISON could not understand this. Some people can not see the forest for the trees.

Why did the players change there minds so quickly & decide to play ball? Reason they saw the replacement players & saw that they were better players. They were afraid that they would lose their jobs. The replacement players were better and they would have played for less $$$. It will be great to go a little league game and see some real ball players.
1996      To be added

1997 

Problems from the old L.L. BOARD, a petition states that the election held in OCT. 1996 was not legal. After much discussion the parties who signed the petition back off and say we are OK. BUTCH FABER & IND. L.L. state that they will not become involved because it is a local problem. Election was held the same as it has been for many years. Coaches are invited to our meeting for input. New ideas are discussed. Meeting of JAN. 97: it is voted on and passed that 9 year olds will be allowed to play in little league if their parents first OK it. Discussion followed on only 2 or 3 will be allowed to be drafted on one team. Discussion on expanding the league by adding 2 more teams. 

JAN. 19th 1997: MIKE MIDDLECAMP resigns from the board. TED LIGHTFIELD states that he will be the president & LINDA AUSETH states that she would like to be the vice president. Both are elected. KEVIN McPHIPPS gives treasurer's report. In the past a large amount of $$$ was in the account. He will keep less $$ in the checking account & move the money into the MONEY MARKET. There it will draw interest. Two dates are set for MARCH for registration. 

FEB. 16th 1997: LINDA AUSETH is now the president of little league. TED L. stepped down so that he could be more involved with CHIEF UMPIRE. Both were in agreement with the board. LINDA presented membership cards. They were excepted by the board. Some of our old uniform pants have been sold for $130.00. Old jerseys will be sold at the sign up for $3.00 each. 

MARCH 2nd 1997: Money collected from the registration $8,990.00. Lot of discussion in regard to purchasing new uniforms. March 23rd should be the last meeting for purchasing. Another big change in the city tournament playoff. Instead of having one game for the championship, there will be a series of best out of 3 games. This will get more playing time for all players & require more than one pitcher. All members were in agreement.

APRIL 22nd 1997: TAIWAN, the greatest power in LITTLE LEAGUE baseball, will not field a team in this year's WORLD SERIES for 11 & 12 year olds. The Chinese feel unable to comply with a rule limiting the number of players in each school district. Separate leagues would hurt a school's ability to field a single elite all star team. TAIWAN has won 17 LITTLE LEAGUE titles since 1969 & seven of the last 11 years. About 3 million leagues from 84 countries take part in LITTLE LEAGUE base ball.

This means a boy playing in China will play 4 years of little league for each year a boy plays in WISCONSIN. ‑ Chinese are very fast. ‑ During the rain delay the Chinese coaches talked about how they would play to win. Calif. coaches took a nap. ‑ Runner caught off 2nd base on a throw from the catcher. ‑ Very good fundamentals in a successful run down ‑ fielders know where to go with the ball. ‑ Left fielder threw runner out at the plate after catching a long fly ball. ‑ Runners did not require a passed ball to steal a base ‑ good fundamentals.  Drop a fly ball, miss a ground ball, make a bad throw. Never will I complain. Catch a fly ball, field a ground ball and not know where to throw the ball & you will run run & RUN. – ROLLY.  JUSTIN GENTILE from NORTHRIDGE CALIF. in a previous game allowed 1 hit, 2 walks & had 13 strike outs for a win over the SPRINGFIELD VA. team.

LITTLE LEAGUE TEAM BANNED IN 1955 WELCOMED TO WILLIAMSPORT IN 2002 

The CANNON STREET YMCA all stars were not allowed to play in the 1995 LITTLE LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. The team was an all‑BLACK team. During the season, White teams would forfeit the game instead of playing the ALL‑BLACK team. CANNON STREET team was crowned the STATE CHAMPION, but were not allowed to play in the LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES, because the team got there by all FORFEITS rather than ON‑THE‑FIELD WINS. The team rode a bus to PA. talking about the trip they made 47 years ago. Before the ceremony the players received bats & balls from the children & began to play ball. They said that running the bases was not as easy as it use to be. They chatted, heckled & had fun. Each player was introduced to the crowd at the LITTLE LEAGUE COMPLEX. The players remember the hurt of not being able to play; it was great to be present at the game & hear all those people cheering. It was a great day.
