A Rainy Day Victory at Latona
Two newly organized local baseball teams braved the rain for a weekend match.
The story, cleaned up
A cleaned-up reading of the newspaper page: spelling and layout repaired, one story lifted off a crowded page. It follows the original closely but it is not a transcription. The original page is below; read it if a detail matters.
The Fremont and Latona Juvenile baseball clubs crossed bats at the Latona ball grounds on Friday afternoon and, in spite of the drilling rain, the boys put up a good game. Both of the teams have been recently organized and consequently have not had much practice. The home club won by a score of 14 to 10. Billy Covington and Guy Green were the batteries for the visitors, Norm, Abram and Sin Paysae for the Latonas. A large number of spectators were present and watched the game with interest.
“in spite of the drilling rain, the boys put up a good game.”
Youth sports remain a staple of Seattle community life. Latona and Fremont are still distinct, active neighborhoods, demonstrating the enduring nature of local municipal geography and the tradition of competitive neighborhood rivalries.
