Chevrons and Diamonds

Exhibition games between service and professional teams were held throughout World War II. This program and scorecard from the August 16, 1942 Navy Relief and Navy Welfare fund game was played in Beloit, Wisconsin against the city’s athletic club baseball team. The program is printed on high quality paper stock and consists of 28 pages (most of which are advertisements and sponsors) utilizing two-color process on many of the pages.
