Sycamore Soldiers to Celebrate Chicago Reunion Game
Sergeant Ernest Hanson and Sergeant Read of the 129th Infantry met Captain A C Pitts in Chicago and earned Sycamore an invitation to a reunion celebration for the old Eighth Infantry. Pitts praised Concitine and Huntzicker from State Teachers College DeKalb, noting their prior Chicago appearance. The event aims to honor veterans with prominent guests, with plans for 100 to 5,000 attendees at the Hyde Park Armory. The Sycamore team will raise $5,000 for expenses and continues preparations for a fast, heavy lineup including Huntzicker, Concudine, and Read, who faced Anaconda laborers in a recent loss.
