Waukon's Famous Ball Team
photographer: Hirth
Above is a photograph of the famous Waukon, Ia., baseball team, which has been cleaning up about everything in its territory.
In the upper row, left to right are:
Ronan, Eaton, manager Beeman, Beddon and Smith.
In the lower row, left to right are:
H. Scovel, Schermuly, Dougherty, Nieman, W. Scovel and Clark.
The team has won remarkably this season and is playing faster ball than many professional league aggregations.
