LOYAL FANS who accompanied the ball team to Latta are'
this foursome, left to right, William O'Brien, Miss Olive O'Brien,
Mrs. Lloyd O'Brien and Lloyd O'Brien. "Why shouldn't 1 come
to the game," said Mr. O'Brien, "after all, I have two grandsons
on the team." Mr. O'Brien Sr., is probably one of the oldest
baseball fans in this part of the country, and very rarely ever
misses a game at home or away. And so the O'Briens all came
home happy with their favourites having won the championship.
