The results of this late 1944 season game against the South Milwaukee club have eluded our research efforts. Nevertheless, this beauty of this multipage program/scorecard lies within the added ink on the cover. Largely a booklet filled with advertisements, the appeal of this piece is with the Great Lakes Naval Training Station’s player autographs on the front and the unused scoring grid on the back.
