Back row, standing, from left, Coach Snyder, John Casselli, McGuire, Jimmy Burns, Paul Richards, and Manager Bernard Fuetsch. Second row, Bill Dumble, John Starr, and Ed Slavin. Sitting in front, Chester Geyer and George Brown. While playing its Last game in Ely that season the team received a telegram from home staying, "Beat Ely and Chicago next." About $2,500 was raised in a few hours in Tonopah to send the team to participate in a tournament in Chicago. The Tonopah lads, however, did not fare well in Chicago against older and bigger competitions.
