Michael McCann was born in Co. Tyrone, with connections there, (meaning that his mother was also a native of Co. Tyrone). He joined the RIC at the age of 19 years & 10 months, his height was 6'. 07/8”. He was farming before joining and was recommended by D. I. Brooke. He was appointed on 15/07/1899 and after training in the Depot in the Phoenix Park , Dublin, he was sent to Limerick on 17/01/1900. Nine months later, 07/10/1900 he was transferred to (London) Derry. He was later transferred to Belfast on 01/12/1907. He did the Sergeant's exam and passed. He was a “P” man.

He married a woman from (London) Derry (with Tyrone connections) (meaning that her mother was from Tyrone) 21/01/1908. He was promoted Acting Sergeant on 01/08/1911, Sergeant 01/06/1913 and Head Constable 01/05/1921. He was transferred to Co. Fermanagh on 01/05/1921 (the same day he was made Head Constable). He was disbanded 31/05/1922 with a pension of £236-16s 4d p.a. he was a Catholic.

EXPLANATION

“P” Man. In 1885, the then Head of the RIC, Sir Andrew Reed, K.C.B., C.V.O., L.L.D., B.L. (from 21st September, 1885) decided to change the rules for promotion in the force. Up to that date the Catholics were discriminated against when the sought promotion. Prior to that while the bulk of the force was Catholic, no Catholic would be promoted officers. Read brought in a ruling that 60 men that were successful in the Sergeants Exam and who were Catholic



would be promoted each year. The Officers who were totally Non Catholic were against this. They saw that over a number of years with the 60 Catholics promoted each year that the day would come when the bulk of the rank of Sergeants would be Catholic. That would mean that a Catholic would be giving orders to Non Catholics & worst still Orangemen and that caused consternation. The Non Catholics turned against Read and forced him out of the force, but the “60”rule continued. That is how Michael came to be promoted. It is now agreed 120 years later, that Read was the best head of the RIC in the 100 years that it lasted.

Looking at the record of Michael McCann, he did very well for himself in the 23 years he was in the force. He attained the rank of Head Constable by the age of 40, and his pension was £4 10s 0d per week, and bearing in mind that a weeks wages for a working man at that time was £2 per week, Michael was in clover with his pension, more than double his neighbours. There were drawbacks as well. Retired RIC men living in the Free State kept a low profile. They were regarded as the defeated enemy and accordingly lived quiet lives, not attracting attention to themselves. Some of the RIC would have liked to join the Garda Force, but the Garda members would not have them. This was understandable as most of the new Gardai were former IRA men that had fought in the War of Independence and the RIC was the enemy. Around 200 RIC transferred to the Garda Force, but they were men who acted as agents for Michael Collins in the RIC, and that was why they were accepted. With the excellent pensions the retired men could afford to sit back and take life easy. The retired men were always ambitious for the education of their families. In the years from 1930/50 the sons & to a lesser extent daughters of the RIC were in good positions in the Civil Service, but they were not anxious to let it be known that they were the offspring of RIC men. In N. Ireland the position was different. Former RIC men could join the new police force RUC and hold on to the rank they held in the RIC. A great number did join, if they were Catholic and had the rank of Sergeant, they were sent to a Catholic area in the border region. They were respected but tended not to mix with the local catholic population and they lived lonely lives and their families had the same problem.

It will be interesting for your husband to see where his grandfather fitted into this equation, and what was the family lore about Michael.

RIC regsThere were strict instructions laid down in police regulations concerning standards of conduct and appearance (for example, at one time police were absolutely prohibited from entering a public house socially). Other regulations were principally designed to maintain the standing of the police within the community. Members were forbidden to marry until they had at least seven years service and any potential bride had to be vetted by the constabulary authorities to ensure her social suitability.

My brothers Jim and John and I are very sorry to tell you that our mother, Beulah V. McCann, died early on the morning of 13 January 2002 at age 85. She was first hospitalized for a flare up of her chronic pulmonary illness the Sunday before Christmas, and did well that week. She was discharged home on 27 December 2001. Early on 28 December 2001 a bout of breathlessness prompted her to call 911, something she never

needed to do previously, so she was readmitted to the hospital. She was ventilated and in intensive care from that day until 2 January 2002.

Our mother was very aware and sharing from the day she was breathing independently again until late the Friday before she died, when we decided to sedate her according to her wishes to ensure a peaceful death. Her breathing was becoming more labored and the sedation was necessary to keep her comfortable and relaxed. She was ready for death, and said all her farewells. She died as she lived with much strength and faith.



Mary Ellen and a nurse friend were with her when she died, although Mary Ellen was asleep. She did not hover, because she wanted our mother to be free to let go. All of us were with her for a good deal of her final days.

Her funeral was 16 January 2002, and it was lovely. There was a choir, a cantor, an organist, and a violinist. Her grandchildren Harry and Jim Jr were two of the pall bearers, as were her nephew/godson Tommy Bartlett, our father's nephew Brendan McCann, and some other friends of ours. Her daughters-in-law, Karen and Rosemary, daughter Mary Ellen, and grandson Jim's wife Elizabeth placed the pall (white cloth) on her coffin.

Her grandson Miles and Mary Ellen did the readings, and Harry, Miles, and Janeclare presented the bread and wine. Her great-grandson Sean attended, so all the generations were represented fully, except for great-granddaughter Sophia, who is still too young at age 3. Our mother is buried next to our father in Westfield, NJ.

The funeral processional was called “Lord of all Hopefulness.” We chose it for its second phrase “Lord of all joy,” because my mother mentioned that she hoped one of her last words would be joy. The other music included hymns she and my father had played at their wedding: Ave Maria and Panis Angelicus. The recessional was my father's favorite Amazing Grace, which was perfect, since that describes the way she departed from this world.

We join you in your sense of loss and tribute to a beautiful and resilient woman, who we were fortunate to have as our mother. She wanted us to thank each of you for your friendship. We appreciate what each of you contributed to her life. John Adrian MCCANN and Beulah Virginia BARTLETT had the following children:

By FILIP BONDYDAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER Harvey Catchings scored eight points in 14 minutes for Nets in 123-117 loss to Sixers on March 23, 1979. He also played two minutes for Philly in what is most likely the quirkiest game in NBA history. Sharp-shooting Bernard King's third-quarter tirade and ensuing three technical fouls helped turn insignificant Nets-Sixers clash into one of the most bizarre games ever. "It could have been the greatest win in our three years in the NBA. And instead it turns around to be so disheartening." - JAN van BREDA KOLFF, former Nets forward.

This is back in the day, some 25 years and probably 50,000 technical fouls ago. This is pre-lobster-rolls-on-charter-flights, pre-salary-cap-exception, pre-"Sorry, I don't talk before games," pre-Phil Jackson-looking-like-an-underwriter-for-T.D. Waterhouse. This is when the primordial NBA is still so raw, still so much fun, that it is practically tripping over itself trying to get somebody to notice the party.

This is Mar. 23, 1979, and you are about to read about the weirdest box score ever forged by a professional sport, a Twilight Zone episode in agate type. Look once. Look twice. Three players - Eric Money, Ralph Simpson and Harvey Catchings - are listed as playing and accumulating stats for both teams. Six officials are refereeing. Jackson, a non-playing coach for most of the game, becomes a player for the last 14 minutes.

There is more.

There is stuff about this game that is not even visible in the box score: Eleven technicals are called, three apiece on a coach and a player. A referee gets suspended and fined. A protest is upheld. The game itself is really two games, and it is part of a doubleheader, between the same two basketball teams.

And the Nets, being the lovable, hapless Nets back then, lose everything to Philadelphia. They lose the first two games, which are really one game. They lose the third game that is the second game of the double-header. They lose all of them, a quarter of a century ago.

"I've been in a lot of strange games, but that was obviously the most bizarre," says Kevin Loughery, the former Net coach and now part-time TV commentator in Atlanta, without whose famous tantrums none of this would be possible. "All those technicals. ... It's the one thing I regret. I'm highly competitive and in most cases I didn't have a very good team. You start to get paranoid. You got to lay off the officials."

Lay off the officials? How could he? Back on Nov. 8, 1978, four months before The Box Score, the Nets are battling in Philadelphia against their nemesis, the 76ers, the team that has stolen beloved Julius Erving from Loughery. The lead is flip-flopping late in the third quarter when Bernard King, the Nets' best player, jostles with Steve Mix, the barrel-chested Philly enforcer. On the next play downcourt, as he's shooting, King bumps into Mix and is called for an offensive foul.

That is how it starts, the way that a flea bite starts World War I - or might have, if Loughery and Richie Powers had been involved.

King screams at referee Roger McCann and is assessed a technical, his second of the game. Loughery leaps from the sideline onto the court and begins to collect his own technicals. One... two... King, ejected and furious now, storms off the court and kicks a chair. Powers, a legendary referee and control freak who would die in 1998, assesses King a third technical, then gives Loughery a third technical.

Funny thing about that. There is no such thing as a third technical foul in a basketball game - even for Loughery, who had collected 43 of them the previous season. There never has been a third technical. Maybe never will be.

"Kevin is giving him a hard time," remembers Catchings, a role player for Philadelphia at the time, who is now working with the NBA's career education program out of Houston. "And I'm sitting on the bench thinking, 'I thought you can only get two technicals. But maybe this is a precedent. Maybe, if you're really



abusive, you can get three.'"

No, you can't. Charlie Theokas, the Net general manager, knows that. He dashes out of the stands, onto the court, and continues the protest. The scene boils over, then cools. The Nets are down to a bare minimum of players, because Bob Elliot has already injured himself earlier in the game by ramming into teammate Eddie Jordan.

Phil Jackson, an assistant coach/TV analyst, takes over for Loughery. This is the first NBA game Jackson will ever coach, and in some ways it is great preparation for the chaos that would be Bulls-Knicks.

The game meanders into overtime, then double overtime, and the 76ers finally win it, 137-133. Money scores 37 points for the Nets. Or thinks he does.

"It could have been the greatest win in our three years in the NBA," says Jan van Breda Kolff, then a Net forward. "And instead it turns around to be so disheartening."

Or is it? Loughery protests the game. Loughery protests a lot of games, and even wins a couple. Like we said, this is a different time. There is that case back in the ABA when Loughery protests a game because a Virginia Squire player says he's hurt, and then another, taller Squire takes the jump ball, and then the original player, Willie Wise, 6-6, comes back into the game just fine. Loughery wins that protest.

And then, he wins this one, too. The NBA decides that Powers has gone way over the top with the three technicals on King and Loughery. The commissioner, Larry O'Brien, suspends Powers for five games without pay, about $2,500, "for failure to comply with league procedure." O'Brien orders the game resumed at the time of the meltdown, with 5:50 left in the third quarter. He orders the teams to finish the game on March 23, before another regularly scheduled game at the Spectrum.

So it is a doubleheader, of sorts, with a whole new officiating crew. Only there is this other problem.

On Feb. 7, 1979, the Nets trade Money and Al Skinner to Philadelphia for Catchings, Simpson and cash. Again, the league ruminates, then decides to let all the players participate in the suspended game, for their new teams. Skinner doesn't play, but the other three appear on both sides of The Box Score. Jackson has been activated and plays center. The Nets lose the suspended game, 123-117.

"The intensity was there, because of the hype for the doubleheader," says Money, a paralegal in San Pedro, Calif., who volunteers part-time with kids in Compton. "I lost some points (his 37 became 23, plus four), but I'll take the win."

Catchings wants the trade, then wants this game even more.

"Darryl Dawkins and Caldwell Jones were getting the bulk of playing time in Philadelphia, and I remember thinking, 'If I stay here, I'm going to die.'" Catchings says. "Then we go back to Philly, and I really, really wanted to win."

It doesn't happen, and then there is a short break in the locker room for both teams before the second game. The players change jerseys. A few shower.

"There wasn't much to say," Loughery says. "The way I looked at it, at least we knew what each team would do. It's not like you needed any scouting reports for the second game."

The Sixers win the nightcap, 110-98, before a solid crowd of 16,271 fans who get two games for the price of one, who know a novelty when they see one. The Nets skid badly, dropping 11-of-16 down the stretch and losing to Philly, again, in the playoffs.

A dozen trivia questions are born from this one game, none of them as perplexing as: Name three players who played for both teams in an NBA game.

In the quarter century that follows, the players and coaches involved in The Box Score will forget many details. Loughery can't remember that it is Powers who calls the technicals. The coach has had many wars with many refs, and a traditional tormentor, Ed Middleton, is among the crew that first night. A couple of players will think the first game takes place in Piscataway. Wrong again. You can excuse them. This is 1979, and it is not the NBA Finals. There are no tapes, no highlight reels, to keep replaying in their heads.

"All of us knew each other so well," says Simpson, a community and church activist in Denver. "We all go back to the ABA. I grew up with Eric in Detroit. And suddenly, we're looking at each other, and we're playing on different teams again, or the same team, and it's very confusing. I still tell Dr. J., 'If you didn't



trade me, we would have been champions.'"

Instead, Simpson is traded, and he is on both sides of The Box Score. He plays 13 minutes for the Sixers, two minutes for the Nets.

And one time, much later, he is sitting with a group of friends when some quizmaster poses a sports riddle on the TV.

"It's one of those trivia questions, and I instantly know who it was," Simpson says. "I say, 'One of those three is me.'" He died on 6 Dec 1994 in New Jersey, USA.
