The photo was most likely taken across from the American Legion Hall on S. Marion Ave . There was a patch of grass and a wrought iron fence on the east side of Marion Ave..

The 192 on the hats signifies the sponsorship of the team by the Wenonah America Legion Post 192.

Charlie Flitcraft remembers that those old uniforms were made of wool and very warm on a July evening. Terry Fleming remembers that he was 10 years old that summer.

Don Davis, front row, right end, loved baseball so much he went on to have a career with the Philadelphia Phillies, not on the field but doing a number of things for the organization.
