Very interesting. Where did you get this story? I have the original newspaper article on this event. Jasper Hadley and George Elmore were cousins, and George Elmore was possibly related to the Mann's, as his mother was a Mann before marrying an Elmore (Belle Mann Elmore). Thanks, Debbie Smothers researching Elmore

One of those games ended when gunfire broke out, and four persons lay dead or mortally wounded on the field. Yet no players in the game were involved. It was the afternoon of Saturday, Sept. 12, 1931. The game was being played at the Ucum community, located near the mouth of Indian Creek in Russell County, on the south side of the Cumberland River. The site is now under the waters of Lake Cumberland. The playing field was located on the Conner farm. A crowd of maybe 300 to 400 persons had turned out to watch a game that was originally intended to be a contest between the Indian Creek team and a black team from Burkesville. However, the Burkesville team was unable to make the game, and a substitute team was created with a core of four players from the Creelsboro team and several available players. There was a small stream behind first base, and a ditch behind the third base line. There was never any official inquiry into the events. The following description is a compilation of a newspaper story at the time, and recorded oral histories made many years later. What apparently led to the confrontations began before the game. It appears that someone from a neighboring farm had made a complaint against George Elmore for a disturbance. The game had been underway, but there was a lull after player John Hugh (Monk) Oliver fouled the only available baseball into the opposite field. It is remembered that in addition to Monk Oliver at bat, former county clerk Kermit Mann was on third base, and Carlos Mann was coaching behind third. What happened next lasted less than two minutes. During the break to retrieve the ball, Constable Leo Mann had spotted George Elmore on the first base side of the field. Mann came out of the crowd on the third base side, walked over to Elmore and said: "Come go with me." Elmore responded, "I'll go with you when it's over and you know that." A scuffle between the two ensued, moving them near first base. Constable Mann reportedly pulled his gun and attempted to shoot Elmore, but it jammed. Meanwhile, Jasper Hadley, a friend of Elmore, came from the crowd behind third base with a gun. Mann apparently saw him coming, and was able to turn Elmore between him and Hadley. Hadley reportedly fired, hitting Mann. During is oral history interview, Monk Oliver recalled that moment. "When (Jasper) fired, I saw the lint fly from Leo's shirt. I knew he'd hit him." A second shot from Hadley apparently hit Elmore in the back, passing through his body and coming out his chest. He staggered to near home plate and fell. Coming to Leo Mann's aid, Bill Mann came from the crowd by first base with his gun. His gun initially jammed, but he finally got off a shot, hitting Jasper Hadley. Almost at the same time, Hadley saw Bill Mann and fired back at him, hitting Mann in the neck. The injured Hadley walked over to the area of third base, handed his gun to Mr. Conners, then fell a few feet from Carlos Mann and died. Shot in the neck, Bill Mann walked up on the bank behind first base and died. On hearing the gunfire, many in the crowd had moved to the relative cover of the ditch behind third base. The original combatants, George Elmore and Leo Mann, were placed in separate autos. Elmore was taken to the office of Dr. Ballou at Rowena, where he died the next morning. Leo Mann was taken to Dr. McClendon's office in Russell Springs. He lingered until Sunday evening before succumbing to his injury. Hadley, 32, and Elmore, 25, were both single. Bill Mann, 35, was survived by his wife and three children. Leo Mann, 30, was survived by his wife and child. After the gun battle, farmer Conner never allowed another game on his field. In one of those strange, but unrelated twists of fate, it was on the day of the ballfield gun battle that country singer George Jones was born in Saratoga, Texas.

FOUR MEN FALL IN FATAL SHOOTING AT UCUM BALL GAME ONLY FOUR SHOTS FIRED, TWO MEN DROP DEAD, TWO DIE LATER One of the most horrible killings that has happened in the county in many years, happened at a ball game Saturday afternoon at Ucum, Kentucky. We are informed that only four men were engaged in the shooting, four shots were fired and all four men were dead, two of the men died almost instantly, one died Saturday night and the fourth died Sunday night. It appears from the information we received that the trouble started when Leo Mann, who is a constable attempted to make an arrest of some persons who were accused of making a disturbance, one of the men resisted arrest and Leo Mann reached for his gun and attempted to fire but his gun jammed and while there seems to be considerable diverseness of opinion as to which of the dead men killed each of those who fell. Yet all seem to agree that Leo Mann did not fire his gun, all apparently agree that all those who were interested in the argument were killed. Jasper Hadley was kill instantly. He is 30 years of age and is survived by one brother Paul Hadley, burial in family cemetery. Bill Mann, 35, leaves two children, father and several brothers and sisters. He was buried in the family cemetery at Creelsboro Sunday afternoon, funerals services were conducted by Rev. Flatt. George Elmore, 25, was shot by a stray bullet, he leaves to mourn his death, his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. William Elmore. Elmore also has several brothers and sisters. He was buried at Manntown Monday morning. Leo Mann, 30, died Sunday night at Russell Springs. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon and he was buried at Manntown. He leaves a wife and one child, several brothers and sisters to mourn his loss. KILLED IN GUN FIGHT Jasper Hadley and Bill Mann were killed almost instantly late Saturday afternoon near Ucum and George Elmore and Leo Mann were seriously wounded during a gunfight. Elmore was conveyed to the clinic of Dr. Ballou, where he died early Sunday morning, and Leo Mann was brought to the clinic of Dr. McClendon, this city, where he died Sunday night about midnight. Jasper Hadley and Bill Mann were buried Sunday, while Elmore and Leo Mann were buried Monday. Hadley and Elmore were single men but are survived by many relatives, while bill Mann is survived by wife and three children, besides other relatives, and Leo Mann is survived by wife and one child and several other relatives. **This article sent to me by George Reuben Elmore. P.S. George Elmore did not fire any shots. He was unarmed.
