Class D Plans Abandoned as Five Teams Set for F League
For the first time in years Elyria will have no Class D baseball in summer as only two managers showed interest. Recreation Board director Harold Block ruled the number insufficient to run a league, so the two teams will play independently. Five teams will compete in the Class F League starting June 13 at Ely Stadium and Cascade Park, with a two half season format and a playoff between half winners to crown the champion. Teams: American Legion Cubs, I O O F No 103, West Side Lumber, Reger Binninger Jewelers, and A Stars.
