1947 AP wire photo shows junior golfers Al Mengert (left) of Spokane, Washington, and Gene Littler (right) of San Diego, California, in Peoria, Illinois, ahead of their National Junior Golf Championship final. The printed caption says Mengert was attempting to defend the title he won at the 1946 tournament in Spokane; the event was sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Mengert points a club toward Littler. The caption is printed directly on the photo. Overall size is approximately 6½ x 9¼ inches. From the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper. The image is somewhat soft and lacks sharp detail, though the subjects and scene remain clear. Tape is visible on the upper corners, with yellowed tape remnants and paper wear along the caption area; see photos for condition.
