The Scottsdale Scotties were from Scottdale, PA. Charlie Jeffcoat pitched for them in 1927, Clarence Marshall was the manager and he caught a bit. That fits with the Sunday game that Bender pitched.
The Charleroi Babes had a pitcher by the last name of Davis, and Harold Herman was a catcher there, in 1927. The 'Thomas' pitcher is William Thomas. He never made it to the majors. He was in the minors for 24 seasons, with a 383-347 record, that is some pitching... Dixie Walker played for the Babes that year.
Neat stuff, thanks for posting the scans. Have you more?? You might send scans of what you have to someone at the Johnstown library, and that would get them fired up about digging in the paper stacks.
