1949-8-19 Joe Bestudik stole show in pre-game individual contest - made three incredibly accurate throws from center to home. Wilmer Fields was less accurate but had one longer throw so was given 1st. Felix Mackiewicz showed good breeding by bringing gloves left on field into dugout with him in flight for shelter from the rain.
1949-9-09 Because Augie Hixson is hurt and players cannot be added to roster for play-offs, the Lafayette Red Sox may have to play in W-I playoffs without a catcher. Joe Bestudik will probably have to catch. (And he did.)
1949-9-10 St. Joseph Auscos will play Benton Harbor Buds in 1st round of play-offs. Prize of $1000 for playoff winner.
Fort Wayne NBC champs 1947-50. Terrible record in M-I in 1949.
