Show Baseball Dropped From High School Sport Roster Baseball seems to be dying a slow death in Region Six and the Cedar City Hign School will be among those schools that will drop the sport this spring. Several factors seem to be involved, in-volved, with the main handicap for the sport being the short season sea-son for training and participation that is allowed in the particular climate that this area lies in. Unless a demand by interested students warrants the forming of a baseball team at the Cedar City High School there will be no participation par-ticipation this year, the coaching staff indicated today. Only those teams in the extreme ex-treme southern section of the state, Hurricane and Dixie, par-tucularly, par-tucularly, seem to be interested in the sport this year. They have the advantage of warm weather from the first of the year on. Cedar Ce-dar City, Parowan, Delta and some of the other schools that have participated in years past have indicated that the season is too short and too little time for practice sessions is allowed Practice and league schedules must be completed within a month under the system, it was stated. Delta, Parowan and Beaver of the Millard Division have stated that they will concentrate on track this season and Cedar high will probably go along with this group. Millard High dropped out of baseball some years ago in favor of the track sport. |
