Major league baseball player 1900-1902. Pitcher and rightfielder for the Cincinnati Reds.
Archie M. (Arch) Stimmel, lifelong resident of the Woodsboro district and well-known professional baseball pitcher around the turn of the century, died in Frederick Memorial Hospital about 4 a. m.. Sunday after a lingering illness. He was 85.
The Woodsboro hurler, a right hander, got his first chance in the professional baseball ranks with Scranton of the old Eastern League. He was shipped to Pottsville in the Pennsylvania State League and later advanced to the Richmond club in the Virginia State League.
It was at Richmond that Stimmel felt he turned in his greatest mound accomplishment. He went 17 innings for a 2-2 tie against Red Ames of Hartford, who later moved along to fame with the New York Giants under the great John McGraw.
After his work at Richmond and subsequently with the Allentown, PA team, Mr. Stimmel attracted the attention of Cincinnati scouts. Starting in 1900, he was one of the regular Redleg hurlers for a number of years.
Born in the home in which he lived in Woodsboro, Mr. Stimmel was a son of the late Edward H. Stimmel and Mary Jane Barrick Stimmel. He was the last member of his immediate family.
Survivors include a nephew, Stuart Shank of Washington, and 2 nieces, Mrs. Calvin C. Keeney of Frederick and Mrs. Eugene Umberger of Pulaski, VA.
