Toledo Contempt Trial Postponed
A contempt of court hearing in Toledo related to the transfer of the Toledo baseball club to Charleston, West Virginia, was postponed for two weeks. Swayne Field Co. owner, plus Charleston officials Harry Wallace and Mayor John Copenhaver, and team owner Danny Menendez and manager Rollie Hemsley, were to show cause why they should not be held in contempt for violating a temporary injunction barring the team from playing in Charleston. The move to Charleston occurred in June due to poor attendance, and league directors approved the relocation, with the club then completing a home stand there.
