I’ve got a 1934-1936 Iowa State Amateur Baseball Tournament scorebook that has all of Feller’s last amateur games before the 16 year old went Pro.
Playing against much older, seasoned ballplayers the 16 year old high schooler dominated. This was the tournament at which Feller was "found" by superscout Cy Slapnicka. He was signed shortly thereafter. The scorebook was the official scorers book kept by the Iowa Amateur Athletic Association's State Chairman Joe Campbell. Feller's team of farm boys ended up winning the tournament against many of the well sponsored city boys. Feller was probably 8 - 10 years younger than most of the participants.
In the tournament, Feller pitched 27 1/3 innings, had 49 strikeouts and gave up 14 hits, 10 walks, 4 runs (1 earned run). The only earned run was on a home run.
