Aces Beseball team in front of Strand Theater

from Marshall Public Library (Marshall, IL)

  • Jamie Poorman said:
    Aces softball team in 1940. They are shown in front of the Strand movie theater on the southeast corner of 5th and Locust Streets in Marshall. We are looking for more information about the name of the team. In the Marshall Public Library newspaper archives the team is listed as the Endicott Aces. But we have not been able to find any other articles in the archives directly connecting Mr. Endicott with the Strand Theater or the Aces team. There are, however, two mentions of him giving theater passes (no particular theater named) as prizes to a group of girls who had raised money for the blind at a flower show in 1938.

    When we received this photograph there were names of the players that were in the picture on the back. We are hoping that some of the descendants of these players can help us connect the name of the team to the Strand Theater or provide any other information about the team.

    The players’ names as printed are:

    Front (l to r) Emer [sic] Haugh, Don Able, Everett English, Leon Cooper, Raymond (Bud) Abel, Bill Bubeck

    Back (l to r) Charles Macke, Charles (Jr.) Haugh, Leroy (Shorty) Garner [sic], Lauf Forsythe, Dean English, Don Smitley, and Jim Stepp.

    We believe that the two misspelled names should be Eamer Haugh and Shorty Gardner.
