Hi Jim,

I'm terribly sorry for this extremely late reply to your email. Don't know
where else I would have received this info.

Your message was received with great interest. Yingling was a fascinating
character. Would like to look at his career a little more in depth at some
point.

Would still love seeing that image of Lefty Webb from the Tip Top set.

Hope you've had a chance to take a look at the latest Almanac.

Thanks, Jim.

Hello Rex.

There was a Lebanon U in Lebanon Ohio that went bankrupt in 1917 and closed
according to the Warren County Historical society.

It was originally chartered in 1855 as Southwestern State Normal School. In
1870 the name was changed to National Normal School and in 1881 became
National Normal University. The name officially changed to Lebanon
University in 1907. Yingling would have been about 17 years old in
1907.....college age.

Upon bankruptcy the school actually merged with now Wilmington College in
Wilmington, Ohio....which is about 20 miles or so from Lebanon. Wonder if
Wilmington College would have records of Lebanon U students???



Yingling (Earl) was pictured on one baseball card that I know of.....a 1917
E135 Candy card of PCL players. I don't have the minor league records of
Yingling but according to Baseball Reference he was not in the majors in
1917 yet he was before 1917 and after. As a hobby I collect sportscards,
photos, postcards (any images) of southern Ohio players. Yingling is from
Chillicothe about 20 miles down the road from me.



I could find nothing on West Ohio University.

Hope this helps.

  Never thought I'd be sending two messages to my new group in one day, but

  here goes:



  I'm looking a player file card sent to me by Steve Gietschier at the

  Sporting News for a pitcher  named Earl Yingling out of Chillicothe, Ohio.



  The first entry describing his player activity it lists "Lebanon Univ. and

  West Ohio Univ. Dayton 1907-09.



  Does anyone know if there actually was a Lebanon University (would have
been

  an awfully small town, just south of Dayton) or what college "West Ohio

  Univ. Dayton" may have morphed into, if anything?



  Thank you.
