  1. From the Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball (3rd e., 2007), London was last in the league in attendance at 103,840; Reading led the league at 313,083. (London was sixth in the standings, Reading was seventh.)

  2. Got a copy of the program pictured from London Free Press writer Jim Cressman when London first came to Williamsport.
