Rain Spoiled Exciting Game at Franklinville
Rain halted a promising Franklinville Smethport baseball clash in the sixth inning after dark clouds and heavy downpour drenched spectators. Both teams had not scored when the field became unruly yet players stayed sharp on a muddy diamond. Future games, including a return match and a Delicie team visit, were planned with proceeds aiding the American Legion convention fund. Army planes then crossed the area en route from Mineola to Nome Alaska, with one forced to land at Scranton and the squadron continuing westward.
