The Kugle Colts From Ney

For many years, Lloyd V. Tuttle contributed historic photos and information to the Defiance Crescent-News for his column, "A Backward Glance."  This undated clipping discussed a "capable" baseball team from Ney.

Lloyd Tuttle said:

"KUGLE COLTS was a capable baseball team that carried the name, NEY, across shirt fronts during the seasons of 1905, 1906 and 1907.

The club played its home game on the property which is presently the residence in Ney of Ned Garver,the former major league pitcher.

Players in the picture are: from left, front row - Elmer Lantz, Guy Yeagley, Erve Hatfield, John Pollock, Emerson Reynolds and Ket Hanna,
and back row, Charles Stailey, John Doud, James Goller, Merle Goller and Ora Marsh.

Those who are still living are: John Doud, now in Orlando, Fla.; James Goller, Defiance, and Ora Marsh and Emerson Reynolds, Ney."
