 In August 1918 Rogan and the rest of the 25th Infantry were moved to Camp Stephen D. Little in Nogales , Arizona . Researchers John Holway and James Riley report that in 1919 , Casey Stengel played against Rogan in Arizona , and subsequently recommended him to Wilkinson for his new Negro National League team , the Kansas City Monarchs . However , Rogan had already played in the California Winter League and for Wilkinson 's All @-@ Nations team in 1917 , and had already been noted by Negro sports reporters as early as 1916 .
