Scope and content
A smiling Ben Cheney is prepared to swing as his unidentified masked catcher signals "two" for the two bats Mr. Cheney has in his possession. He had his choice of bats from the stacks of bats behind him. Philanthropist and lumber magnate Cheney sponsored the amateur Washington Cheney Studs baseball team as well as many other teams in other sports. His Studs were to meet the pro Yakima Bears of the Northwest League in exhibitions on June 7 - 8, 1955, at Cheney Field. The Bears would go on to defeat the Studs 7-2 in both games. (TNT 6-3-55, D-3-info on exhibitions only)
