Parent-Child Tournament

In 1947, sixty-four teams entered the Parent-Child tournament, with Charlie O’Hearn and his son Michael defeating Lamar Fearing and his son John to take the crown. The newspaper reported on the event that children come in all sizes, from pint-size to towering specimens and that referring to the latter as “children” somehow didn’t seem right.
