Senators Seek First Baseman as Opening Season Starts
The Central League season opens in April with Charleston Senator fans pressing for a reliable first baseman. Charley Wolf struggles at first, Lettee Des comes into contention, and questions linger over the best catcher in the league. Watt Powell Night Friday honors Watt at the park, with Elks backing the event and Charleston hoping for strong turnout. Oscar Melillo may retire at Dayton, handing duties to Hank Gowdy, as Laidley field revenue remains negative and calls grow to fix facilities for press and players.
