Constitution disrupts junior pricing in Piedmont League baseball
A dispute over a season ticket rule in the Piedmont League of Professional Baseball Clubs spurs a rerun of child admission pricing. Greensboro officials proposed 15 cent under-12 tickets, but Durham leaders objected, delaying a change and keeping 50 megs and related terms in place.
Two More Players Introduced to High Point Club
By C M Brown Dick Miller, pilot of the home nine bays, introduces Waldron and Zumbiel to the High Point baseball team in the Piedmont League. Waldron, a Birmingham native 23 or 24, is a fast outfielder who can hit with power and aim for a 3600 batting total. Zumbiel, a southern infield prospect, is described as a smart, heady fielder who can challenge for the shortstop job. Contracts for both players are securely stored by Arthur Lyon.
