Columbus on a very hot day

 

UMW historical marker
I have walked past this marker a few times. It is on the side wall of Ohio Theatre, in a mini alley, South Pearl. I have walked on North Pearl, they do not connect in this century. Capitol Square sits in between, that part of Pearl is mostly grass. There is another marker on the front of the building, a few steps away. Before Loew's built an opulent theatre days before talkies vanquished the silent picture show, the plot was the old city hall.
 
Ohio's historical markers had been black, now they are brown. This one has been described as being with the AFL sign, and on the corner of Front & Long. No, they are not there. The brown versions are supposedly in Batelle Park by the Scioto.

Charles "Chic" Harley (1916, 1917, 1919) the ballplayer made possible Ohio Stadium.  In the early decades of the programme, the Buckeyes were not a power house.  They lost against smaller Ohio schools: Oberlin, Buchtel (Akron U), Wooster, Denison, Kenyon, Western Reserve, Ohio Wesleyan, Wittenberg, Case, Otterbein, Columbus Barracks, Ohio Medical, and Marietta. Not until the 6th time versus Michigan did they score, not until the 16th time did they win. They won with Harley.
