Hartford Tigers face pivotal Ohio Valley Association ruling
The Hartford West Virginia Tigers contend a May 30 ejection of ace Junie Gibbs at Gallipolis was improper and claim new evidence supports their case. The OVA meeting will decide the forfeiture, with potential secession rumors and a tough call for President Charles Shain. Scouts note Bernard Guinther’s improving form for Syracuse, while Racine alums appear in the Maroons lineup. Mickey Miller of Twin Cities struck out 16 in a recent seven inning game.
