HISTORY OF OLD BROAD BAY AND WALDOBORO
The second of these local scientists, John Harvey Lovell, ecologist, field-naturalist and plant biologist, was at the time of his death the most widely known citizen of the town. His life was in and of Waldoboro where he was born in 1860, the son of Captain Harvey H. and Sophronia Bulfinch Lovell. This was a good heredity, for his father was a resourceful and daring master of clipper ships, and his maternal grandfather, Squire Bulfinch, was of the famous Boston family.
Mr. Lovell entered Amherst College at the age of seventeen and received from that institution his bachelor and master degrees as well as a Phi Beta Kappa appointment. Thereafter his life was spent largely on the local scene. His inheritance from the family estate had left him with an income sufficient for his needs, and this enabled him to devote his life with rare singleness of purpose to his master passion which was natural science. In this field John Lovell's achievement was prodigious and his recognition was world- wide. He corresponded with scientists in distant lands whose letters he could read, and answered letters addressed to him in languages he could not read. He was elected to membership and held offices in scientific societies too numerous to mention in the scope of this brief biography. His two books were: The Flower and the Bee (Scribners, 1918) and Honey Plants of North Amer- ica. But it is his scientific articles published in learned journals that reveal most fully this man's versatility and amazing productive- ness. These articles number no less than one hundred and twenty- one. John Lovell in his seventy-odd years carried on in the tra- dition of Henry David Thoreau, and while he never rose to the latter's literary and philosophic prominence, his contribution to learning was perhaps equally great. His last article, "Pollination of Verbena Hastata," appeared in print during his confinement in his last illness. He died in Sanford, Maine, on August 1, 1938. A more detailed narrative of John Lovell's distinguished and use- ful career may be found in the American Bee Journal of Decem- ber 1939. His life was an incarnation of devoted scholarship, and no individual in the history of this town has attained a recognition so universal.
SPORTS
In this era of economic and cultural regeneration in the town there has been a marked quickening of interest in sports and their development. This has been made largely possible by the playing floor in the new high school building and by the acquisi- tion and development of the adjacent athletic field. The high school program of sports leads directly into the program of the town, for its student athletes in time have become the generation of young men who have been the builders of this new and health-
533
The Makers of the Present
ful activity in local life. While athletics have in the present day been elevated to a primary activity in the town, their role in life is in reality secondary, for physical skills and well-developed healthy bodies are important only as they contribute to effective activity in areas of larger human significance. But to many, sports have become a primary interest and an end in themselves. This is by no means an unmixed evil, for the wide enthusiasms which they have created locally have unquestionably displaced much that would be far less constructive in the life of the young, and have given to the youth of the town an incentive to play games well, and worthwhile goals at which to shoot.
In the high school in recent years and on the playing fields and floors of the town teams, Charles M. Begley has been the directing and moving agent. Harold Ralph and Victor Burnheimer, Sr., have been among the most generous patrons of the town base- ball and basketball teams, while Percy Moody has been the ever- functioning spark plug who has led in the development of the playing field and in the financial support of baseball teams. This new interest has spread into neighboring towns, bringing their athletes on to the Waldoboro scene, and it has reached deep into the ranks of youth. Under the able directorship of John Foster, a Little League has come into being from which boys graduate successively into the Pony League, the High School Varsity, and then the town teams. A whole host of local people have in one way or another made possible this fine civic project. Conspicuous in the field of promotion have been William Brooks, Philip Cohen, William Freeman, Maxfield Forbes, Edward Genthner, Maynard Genthner, Henry Hilton, Russell Hilton, Henry Ilves, The Lions Club, Brainerd Paul, Ronald Ralph, Earle Spear, Kenneth Weston, Laurence Weston, Carleton Wight, and Roy Winchenbach. An interested public has provided a generous backing, but the largest contribution has undoubtedly been made by those young men in Waldoboro and adjacent towns who have played the games.
This highly significant phase of community life has enjoyed the professional guidance and generous patronage of that man who in the history of the town has been the outstanding figure in the field of sports. Clyde Sukeforth stems from the old German stock of the town. His local progenitor was Andreas Suchfort, a Hessian captured at Saratoga, interned in the Boston area, and then paroled to a Broad Bay German. The family ultimately lo- cated in the town of Washington, where Clyde was born in 1903.
His first experience with baseball was on the sand lots of Washington. His skill as a player, highly developed at an early age, led him on to Millinocket, Coburn Classical Institute, and Georgetown University. Leaving the latter institution in 1925
534
HISTORY OF OLD BROAD BAY AND WALDOBORO
he was signed with the Cincinnati Nationals the following year and optioned to Manchester, New Hampshire, in the New England League. Recalled by the Reds in 1927 he remained with this team for several years and went to the Dodgers in 1931. Here in his role as a catcher he acquired the sobriquet of "The Iron Man in the Mask." An eye injury sustained in a hunting accident in 1934 ended his playing career. Thereafter for a number of years he scouted for the Dodgers and managed in minor leagues. In 1945 and dur- ing the war years he returned to Brooklyn as player-coach, fre- quently slipping into the reserve catcher's role, and became tem- porary manager of the Dodgers in 1947. In this period he batted 294 in eighteen games. His best average was 354 in 1929 with the Reds in eighty-four games - a possible championship mark had he scored this average in one hundred games.
Sukeforth resigned from Brooklyn in 1952 and joined his long-time friend and former boss, Branch Rickey, of the Pitts- burgh Pirates. In the interim between seasons Mr. Sukeforth spends his leisure at his Waldoboro home, hunting, assisting in baseball clinics at the colleges, and fraternizing with his many friends in this area.
All the divisions of local life, here so briefly reviewed, rep- resent values for which men strive, and values enter into the texture of history. But they do not always enter it in an harmonious inte- gration. This is true of the values of our present which will in- evitably be integrated into our ongoing life. Some of these values exist in our social fabric in great strength, while others are tra- gically weak. If some creative and masterful mind could in the next decade channel the energies and interests of the community into the common life, each in its own fitting proportion, it would accord a larger role to cultural and spiritual values, for the good life is not one overstocked with riches and stunted in spirit. It is and always has been universally true that "the life is more than meat and the body more than raiment." We do not quite yet know what Greek and Renaissance man knew so well, that the real triumphs of man are not to be found in material advancement, but in the incorporation of the values of the spirit into human personality. The comment of a contemporary philosopher of his- tory is particularly relevant to our present: "The chrysalis is struggling somehow to release itself. It feels the change coming, but it does not yet know what it is to be a butterfly."
