UPDATE - Au Sable Forks High School Baseball Team 1920-21

My paternal grandmother, Helen Torrance Coughlin, was always sending us clippings from the local papers.  I found this today while trying to find a photo. It's from the Adirondack-Post, October 18, 1975 and is the photo I posted in August 2013!!

Caption:

Picture of the 1920 AuSable Forks High School Baseball team taken on the School athletic field.  Submitted by Daniel T. Manning of AuSable Forks, NY. Top row - Francis Murphy, Emmett Ryan, Thomas Manning, Chappie Rhino. Middle row - Chauncey Kenney, Riley Hamilton, Daniel T. Manning, Ernest Senecal, Clarence Votraw. Bottom - Amos Tellier. The 1920 baseball team provided their own uniforms, equipment down to the ball, bought their own letters and had their mothers sew them on. A do it yourself effort which produced some excellent ballplayers and certainly many fond memories.

Know we know who's who in the photo!  I love small town newspapers!!!

All Clinton County Team - 1931

From the pages of the Plattsburgh Daily Republican on Wednesday, September 23, 1931:

AUSABLE FORKS CAPTAIN PICKS ALL COUNTY TEAM

Captain “Red” Senecal of the Ausable Forks baseball club volunteers to pick an All Clinton County Nine.  None of Guy’s players are on his club.  Only one Post player is on the team which is made up of mostly of Rouses Point, Ausable Forks and Lyon Mountain players.

            Here is his choice:

            J. Pessulla, Pitcher, Ausable Forks

            Weatherwax, Catcher, Rouse Point

            Pattno, First Base, Ausable Forks

            English, Second Base, Lyon Mountain

            Bergeron, Shortstop, Rouses Point

            Covalosky, Third Base, Lyon Mountain

            Roark, Center Field, Ausable Forks

            Farrell, Left Field, Lyon Mountain

            Neyrey, Right Field, Post

I had to laugh when I saw this.  It was published in the "Big City" paper and obviously my maternal grandfather, Ernest "Red" Senecal, did NOT chose "their" players.  I always love reading the old papers with their non-apologetic hometown bias!!
