All Time Negro League Managers Trying to compile the won

All Time Negro League Managers
Trying to compile the won-loss records of Negro League managers is a difficult to almost impossible task
for several reasons.



Newspaper coverage was not always very good for many of the teams.
For “league” games, many teams like the Brooklyn Royal Giants and Cuban Stars were very
sporadic in reporting game results to the “league” office.
Teams often changed managers during the season and trying to split won-loss records
between multiple managers for one season can at best be a guessing game.
The following list of “All Time Negro League Managers” includes Negro League managers who won at
least one “league” championship. This list represents the best current research. These records should in no
way be considered an absolute. They are being continuously updated as new research is completed. This
research does however give you a good indication of who were the top managers in Negro League
baseball how they fared in “official” Negro League games and games against teams of top level
completion. Games against “non-league” opponents, semipro teams, industrial teams and teams of a lower
level of competition are not included in these records.

Note – The only reason that Newt Allen managed the Kansas City Monarchs in 1941 was that Frank Duncan who had managed
the team the year before suffered a stroke right before preseason. Allen had been the captain of the team for several years and
knew the team better than anyone else.

Early in his career Grant Johnson played for and was the captain of the Page Fence Giants.
The won-loss records presented here are no way to be considered anywhere close to complete.
In 1900 both Grant Johnson and Bill Peters managed the Chicago Unions in 1900.
Both Grant Johnson and E.B. Lamar managed the Cuban X-Giants in 1903 and 1904.
The 1903 Cuban X-Giants were considered the best team in the East during the season.
NACPC stands for National Association of Colored Professional Clubs.
Late in his career, Grant “Homerun” Johnson also managed the Pittsburgh Colored Stars of Buffalo.
Frank Leland
Frank Leland was one of the pioneers of black baseball. Leland started his baseball career as an outfielder
with the Washington Capital Cities (National League of Colored Baseball Clubs) in 1887.
In the spring of 1887 he moved to Chicago and helped local businessmen Henry Elby, Albert Donegan
and William S. Peters organize the Unions baseball club. Shortly after the team was formed, they
obtained a lease from the City of Chicago for the team to play at South Side Park. The team went
professional in 1898 and became the Chicago Unions. Frank played outfield for the team through the
1889 season. From 1896 to 1900 Leland was the traveling manager for the Chicago Unions and William
S. Peters was the General Manager.
In 1901 Frank Leland merged the Chicago Unions and Columbia Giants to form the Chicago Union
Giants. As both owner and manager, Frank Leland developed one of the most formidable teams in the
West. They dominated baseball in the West and Midwest for many years. The team changed its name to
the Leland Giants in 1905. Leland’s team compiled a won-loss record of 112-10 (.918) for the 1905
season. According to former Giants’ shortstop, Jimmy Smith, the Leland Giants had a 43 game win streak
in 1905 that started on May 19th and ended on July 16th when they were beaten by the Spalding baseball
team.
Before the start of the 1907 season, Leland improved his roster by hiring Rube Foster (P), Pete Hill (OF),
Bill Gatewood (P) and Mike Moore. Foster also took over as field manager of the team from Leland. The
1907 Leland Giants team compiled a record of 110-10 (.917) for the season. During the 1907 season they
had a 48 game winning streak. The Leland Giants team had another strong season in 1908 when they
went 64-21 (.753).
Foster and Leland parted company in 1910 when Rube formed his own team. The two fought over the
name “Leland Giants” and Foster won the legal right to the team name. Foster changed the name of his
team to the Chicago American Giants in 1911. Leland’s team became the Chicago Giants. The 1910
Chicago Giants played in the Chicago League and played an independent schedule during the season. The
Chicago Giants played through the 1912 baseball season.
Over his career, Frank Leland owned and/or managed the following teams:

William S. Peters
William S. Peters was one of the early pioneers of black baseball long before there was a Negro National
League. Before he became in involved in baseball, he was a successful black businessman in Chicago,
Illinois.
In 1887 with the help a young ball player by the name of Frank C. Leland and fellow businessmen Henry
Elby and Albert Donegand, Peters organized the Unions baseball club. Shortly after the team was formed,
they obtained a lease from the City of Chicago for the team to play at South Side Park. The Unions team
was managed by Abe Jones in their inaugural season and Peters played first base.
The team went professional in 1888 and changed their name to the Chicago Unions. When the team went
professional Abe Jones was retained as manager and Peters was the starting first baseman. Peters
continued to play first base for the Chicago Unions through the 1894 season. He took over as manager of
the team in1890.
In 1901 the Chicago Unions and Columbia Giants were combined to form the Chicago Union Giants.
The team was also called the Peters Union Giants. One of the Union Giants best seasons was in 1909
when the team went 46-10 (.822). The Union Giants billed themselves as “the oldest colored team on the
road.”
A summary of William S. Peters’ baseball career is as follows:

Notes :
1. Posey formed the Homestead Grays in 1912 from the Murdock Grays. He undoubtedly managed the team
during most or all the early years of the team.
2. Besides managing the Grays, Posey also owned the team.
3. The Homestead Grays played hundreds of games during the years they played an independent schedule.
4. In 1932 Posey owned both the Homestead Grays and Detroit Wolves.
5. Won-loss records for Cum Posey as presented here are incomplete for his managerial career.

Note - George Scales is considered the “greatest” manager in Puerto Rican baseball history.
Henry Walter “Slick” Schlichter
Henry Walter “Slick” Schlichter was the founder and co-owner of the Philadelphia Giants.
In 1902 Walter Schlichter and Harry A. Smith, sports editor of the Philadelphia Tribune, recruited Sol
White to help them organize the Philadelphia Giants. Sol White played shortstop and served as the team’s
captain. Charles “Kid” Carter (P), Frank Grant (2B) and Andrew “Jap” Payne (OF) were the team’s other
top players for the Giants 1902 season. In there first year of operation the Philadelphia Giants were
credited with a record of 81-43-1 (.653).
Before the start of the 1903 season, Schlichter strengthened his roster by signing William Binga (3B),
Harry Buckner (P), Robert Footes (C), Bill Monroe (1B) and John W. Patterson (OF). The Philadelphia
Giants had an outstanding season and challenged the Cuban X-Giants for championship series at the end
of the season. Unfortunately, the Cuban X-Giants behind the outstanding pitching of Rube Foster
prevailed.
After being defeated by the Cuban X-Giants, Walter Schlichter was determined to field a championship
team for the 1904 season. The first step in his plan was to sign Andrew “Rube” Foster (P), Pete Hill (OF)
and Dan McClellan (P/OF). At the end of the season the Philadelphia Giants behind the pitching of Rube
Foster, avenged their loss to the Cuban X-Giants by defeating them for the “Colored World
Championship.”
In 1905 the Philadelphia Giants beat the Brooklyn Royal Giants for their second straight championship.
The Philadelphia Giants joined the multiracial International League of Independent Professional Baseball
Clubs in 1906. They won both the International League title and defeated the Cuban X-Giants for the
“Colored World’s Championship” during the 1906 baseball season.
Before the start of the 1907 season the Philadelphia joined the National Association of Colored Baseball
Clubs of the United States and Cuba which was the first organized colored baseball league of the
twentieth century. Schlichter served as the “league’s” president from 1906 to 1909. Even though the
Philadelphia Giants lost Rube Foster, Pete Hill and three other players to the Leland Giants before the
start of the season; they still field a strong team that was led by the hitting of John Henry “Pop” Lloyd.
Schlicther’s Philadelphia Giants won their fourth consecutive “Colored World’s Championship” at the
end of the 1907 season.
In 1908 the Philadelphia Giants led by the hitting of Spottswood Poles were considered the best team in
the East. At the end of the season the Philadelphia Giants faced the Chicago Leland Giants in a
championship series. This was the first time the best team from the East played the best team from the
West in a championship series. During the series each team won three games. There does appear to have
been an attempt to play a seventh and deciding game of the series.
Walter Schlichter’s dominance of black baseball in the East started to fade in 1909 when Sol White left
the Philadelphia Giants to take over the reigns of the Quaker Giants. The Philadelphia Giants suffered
another major loss in 1910 when Pop Lloyd left the team.
No longer being the best team in the East and forced to deal with player defections, Walter Schlichter
disbanded the Philadelphia Giants according to an article that appeared in the
New York Age on August 3, 1911.
Over their nine year career some of the best players in black baseball appeared on the roster of the
Philadelphia Giants. These players included: Harry Buckner, Rube Foster, Charlie Grant, Frank Grant,
Pete Hill, Grant “Home Run” Johnson, John Henry “Pop” Lloyd, Dan McClellan, Bill Monroe, Mike
Moore, Bruce Petway, Spottswood Poles, Dick Redding and Sol White.
Even though Walter Schlichter’s tenure in black baseball was relatively short, he was very successful. His
Philadelphia Giants teams were considered one of the first dynasties in black baseball history. During his
baseball career, Walter Schlichter is credited with having won the following championships:
