On May 19, 1944, the Lykens Standard printed a joint notice from the school boards of Wiconisco and Lykens, offering a $100 reward “for the information which will lead to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who have destroyed or are destroying property at the Lykens and Wiconisco ball park.”
The notice appeared several other weeks and it is not known at the time of this writing the extent of the damage or whether the perpetrators were caught and punished.
