1950 New Auburn Sibley County League Champions

  It was a proud bunch that won the 1950 Sibley County League championship for New Auburn. This picture hung in Trixie's Bar for many years and was rescued when the bar burned so this history could be saved. The team had to win the title twice after a protest caused the title  game to be replayed against Klossner. Other teams in the league were Gaylord, Henderson, Gibbon, St. George, Rush River and Winthrop. Bat boys are Dale and Wayne Rischmiller.  Kneeling, L-R, manager Eddie Mueller, Melvin Witthus, Donnie Jahnke, Charles Ponath, Alvin Mueller, Lloyd Lipke and Elroy Hopp.  Standing: Marlyn Barfknecht, Eugene Grewe, Earl Witthus, Ronnie Ortloff, Vic Mackenthun and Gib Barfknecht. Not on the picture are Joe Bell, Melvin Winter, Lyle Winterfelt, LeRoy Hahn and Hillard Alseben.
