From the Alton (Illinois) Evening Telegraph for August 13, 1952:
Centralia, Ill. (AP)--Two "Iron Men" pitched against each other in a Mississippi-Ohio Valley baseball league July 4th double-header.
Harvey Noland of Canton and Pete Naranjo [of Decatur] pitched both games for their respective sides. Noland won the first game, 2-1. Naranjo copped the nightcap, 3-0.
This article appeared in newspapers around the country, word-for-word--none mentioned Naranjo's team--over the course of about a month. Interesting enough to use as a filler, I guess; not interesting enough to be timely.
I searched for, but could not find, a local account. I'd really like to see the box scores.
