Joyner to Hurl for the Logals in 1920 Piedmont League
Joyner, High Point pitching star of 1919, will wear High Point again in 1920 as the Piedmont league forms. The big right hander, now at Chapel Hill as a junior, is expected to lead the University nine before joining High Point after finals. Four clubs pursued him, but past payment and local reception factored into his decision. His wins and strong fielding promise an even better season.
