"Minot's probable Sunday
starter, Sugar Cain (left), surveys a sample of the
ammunition he will use in the Man-Dak League opener with
Williston here. Taking a look with him is batterymate Joe
Massaro, who has caught Cain for two campaigns and knows the
righthander has the weapon to fire the pellet. Cain set a league
record for wins, 12, last season" (Minot
Daily News, May 21, 1954)
