Fullerton Roundup by Hugh Fullerton Jr
Baseball notes mix no hitters and near no hits across leagues. Bill Fuchs of Deland lost a no hitter 6-5 after wild play and errors. St Augustine’s Ketterius High beat Bolles Military 3-0. Ray Lindsey of Levington came close in the North Carolina State League but Feola of Thomasville broke his bid. Lindsey still won 6-0. The piece adds a business anecdote about Max Meisse building his own house while serving a football role, and a humorous chain of Minneapolis Millers managers led by Tom Sheehan with Zeke Bonura.
