Forest Park hosts invitational horseshoe tournament and pits
In Forest Park a Tuesday horseshoe scene draws local pitchers like Bud Burgoon and Chinck Kaniper. They plan more pits, host an invitational on Sunday the 27th, and describe grips, scoring, and handicaps as Emperia area players from Leonardville to Reading travel for 50 pitch rounds with ringers worth three points and shoes costing ten to twenty five dollars.
