The attached is a photograph of the Potterville baseball team, which played through the 1927 season winning 15 games and losing but one. The team is made up of young men who play baseball for the love of the game and all through the season past none of the players received a cent of pay. Expenses for traveling were met by the players themselves and all the money that was taken in at games was used to purchase baseball materials. The Potterville club defeated the Rush Giants near the close of the season and this victory is considered their most impressive, …the Rush outfit having led the Susquehanna County League for a number of seasons.
Following is the record of games played:
Potterville 15 Monroeton I.O.O.F. 4
