Dec. 24, 1959 Southeast Missourian. Good end for a bad season. These duck limits, taken in the Dark Cypress this week, are indicative of how the hunting went, from bad to poor. From the left, Roland Boren, Roy Cain and Ervin Boren, brought in three ducks each from the water-covered area, using waders to move about among the trees and knock off the fowl as they flew into the rest area. Hunting hasn’t all been bad. (G.D. Fronabarger/Southeast Missourian archive)

Aug. 25, 1952 Southeast Missourian. This photograph, made Saturday noon at the Frisco railroad station, shows arrival home of the champion Legion baseball team. Part of the crowd—with a band included—is shown. Now winners of three tournaments, the team moved today to Bloomington, Illinois, for the sectional, a hot three-team meet. (G.D. Fronabarger/Southeast Missourian archive) [The Cape Girardeau American Legion Mainliners were welcomed by an estimated 300 people, plus a streamlined Municipal Band, as they arrived from Altus, Oklahoma. Capt. Walter Joe Ford emerged from the coach first, carrying the trophy which entitles the team to enter the important sectional. Each of the squad said a few words over the public address system. The squad was composed of Gary Rust, Walter Ford, Truman Blackman, Woody McComb, Paul Stehr, Bob Lewis, Dale Joyce, James Welter, Don Koch, C.W. Suedekum, Kenneth Wessell and Fred Steward. The team was sponsored by Groves Motor Co.] [The Mainliners went on to a 6-0 victory over St. Paul, Minnesota’s North End Post in the sectional tournament. Cincinnati beat them 11-2, but the Mainliners came back to win the next game 9-8. The Cape Girardeau team lost 4-3 in the deciding game of the double elimination tournament.]
