NATIVE OF COLLIN PASSES AWAY AT MILWAUKEE, WIS.
QUAIT BATEMAN, 61, COUSIN OF McKINNEY RESIDENTS
McKinney Democrat, February 4, 1937, p 1
Quait Bateman, 61, veteran baseball player, died recently at his home in Milwaukee, Wis., so press dispatches from that city recently showed. Mr. Bateman is a former Collin County boy, being reared on the old Bateman homeplace, five miles North of McKinney. He was a first cousin of Mrs. L. A. Scott, C. P. Heard and Dick Allen, all of this city and has numerous other relatives here.
The deceased was one of the best baseball players Texas ever produced and was known as "Sissy" Bateman. A newspaper clipping concerning his death, which was taken from a Milwaukee paper, was sent to a relative of his, Miss Maude Davis, in this city. The clipping follows:
Quait Bateman, 61, Brewer first baseman, pitcher and outfielder from 1903 to 1908, died at his home, 3153 N. Sixth Street, Monday night of a heart attack.
One of the most versatile players of his day, Batemen came here from the Texas league as a pitcher but the late Joe Cantillion, then manager, converted him into the regular first baseman. Bateman was a powerful man, noted for his hitting ability. The Texan played under two other Brewer managers, Jack Doyle, now chief scout for the Chicago Cubs, and Barry McCormick, who later became a major league umpire.
At the close of the 1908 season the Brewers sold him to Vernon, Calif, then in the Pacific Coast league, but he did not report. In 1909 he managed and played with an independent club at Manitowoc.
Last season he was a frequent visitor at Borchert field.
"Those two sluggers (York and Laabs) are my favorites,: Bateman often told his friend, John Hughes, an old Brewer catcher.
Survivors are his wife, Frances; a son, Harry Q. Bateman; two brothers, Clifford A. of El Paso, Texas, and Richard C. of Milwaukee, and four sisters, Mrs. Joseph J. Beyette of Stockton, Calif., Mrs. Mary Beyette of Dallas, Texas, Mrs. Robert L. Shaffer of Sweetwater, Texas, and Mrs. Garland Lipscomb of Milwaukee.
Funeral services will be held Thursday at 2 p.m. at the J. H. Becker & Sons chapel, 1545 N. Twelfth Street. Burial will be in Holy Cross cemetery.
