1934: TRENTON HIGH vs. IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

Joe Schnorbus was a regular attendee with me at our annual St. Anthony retreat at San Alphonso down in West Long Branch back in the 1980's. Joe and his best buddy at the time, Ned Willever, spent many after midnight hours reminiscing in the beautifuly lounge at San Alphonso. Listening to those guys talking about their early years was a real treat.
(I am assuming that the Joe in the photo is the very same
Joe I knew at those annual St. Anthony retreats)

Hi Tom: I remember all those players on both teams and recall the interest shown in those games. On Trenton High were George Case, a future star in the major leagues and Kelly Palumbo, manager of the Trenton Schroths when they won the American Legion World Series in 1948. Immaculate's team also had great players who also went far in the sporting world. Regards.

THANKS ONCE AGAIN FOR YOUR INFORMATIVE INPUT, RALPH.
THIS FROM "OMAD:"
Thanx Ralph, you are a real source of information. It has been 54 years since I lived in Trenton and I enjoy all the items on Tom's website. Still get together about once a month with old classmates and chat with them on line. Lived all over the world and am now back in Jersey at the shore.
