Skeleton lineup clash ends with old timers' barnstorming match
A hastily organized exhibition between Pate and Leans and skeletons drew a large crowd as veterans bragged of feats before the game. Gene Cole stayed in the car while Morris Lloyd failed to return in time. Ernest Clarky did little as Justin Sarbach was knocked out. Neil McDowell hit a home run though the skeletons fell short. Taylor Browne starred with a left field snag and a late three base hit that was stretched to a home run before being stopped. The teams, long out of action, offered a lively but uneven display on the summer day.
