The local paper of the Huron Elks of the Basin League The HURONITE
and THE DAILY PLAINSMAN provided substantial coverage of the club,
including many photos (unfortunately, the microfilm versions are of such
poor quality). Nonetheless, even as placeholders for the real
photos (one can always hope), a sample below :
Left to right - Huron lefty starter Andy Swota, third baseman Duke
Bowman and shortstop Jerry Adair (beating out a throw to first).
Left to right - Huron first baseman Dewey Kuehl, Pierre first
sacker Harry Messick and Huron righthander Dave
Thies.

a three-finger salute (for the three-hitter in his last outing). Right - Wally Bowman,

being hit on the knee with a pitch.
