Editor's note: The batboy in this picture, Larry Ross, donated these photos. His father, Stacey, was the player/manager. CSHOF inductee Leo Squinn is pictured in both. This team won the 1938 County League Class AA Championship playing as Ashville and also won the 1938 City League Class AA Championship playing as Sans Company.

It is essentially the same group of players that won the Chautauqua County title that same year playing as Ashville.
