Hickory Interested in
Proposed League
Hickory baseball fans probably will be called upon to decide
within a few days whether Hickory will e in the proposed baseball league next
year. The cities slated for berths are Asheville, Gastonia, Statesville,
Salisbury and Lexington, with Morganton, Hendersonville or Hickory as the sixth
club. A meeting will be held at Salisbury Saturday afternoon to consider the
question.
Hickory enthusiasts have no delusions as to what a baseball
club means. It is a great thing for a town, affords plenty of excitement and
the like, but it also requires a great deal of time, and somebody has to lose
money. A season that ends with a shortage under $2,000 is successful in the
average North Carolina town, including Raleigh, Greensboro, Winston-Salem and
the rest.
The question is now before the fans, and if they want
baseball, it is in sight. A meeting has been called for 7:30 tomorrow night at
the Chamber of Commerce.
