1935 8-26 standings
1936
1934-7-22 Greenville is protesting the nine games Kinston won in which Guy Fletcher was pitching for the Lenoir club. They charge that Guy Fletcher pitched for Winston-Salem in 1933 Piedmont League.
"Under league rules, each team is entitled to one player who has engaged in professional baseball within the last three years but he may not pitch. Kinston's pro is manager Bunn Hearn, who also is baseball coach at Carolina. Fletcher pitched for the freshmen team at the Hill [University of North Carolina] last spring."
If it is proved Fletcher pitched in pro ball, his college career will be over.
This week, Worley Knowles, Ayden of-p, was 15 for 20 with five homers. Hit three homers in one game. On 7-21 he hit homer, triple, and two doubles.
1934-7-29 Umpires have a hard time in league - they don't often last long. Fans take their baseball very seriously, and squawk louder than Huey Long.
1934-8-25 Game between Kinston and Snow Hill will be played at Kinston instead of Snow Hill because the government " 'dumped three carloads of cows in the ballpark.' "
1934-9-07 Coastal Plain League financial breakdown of play-off series. A total of $3,132.05 was collected from gate receipts. The receipts of the first four games went to the players, and the receipts of the last two to the clubs. The winning players of Greenville received 60%, and those of Kinston received 40%. Greenville players got $57.54 each after all expenses were deducted - Kinston players received similar sums as team had built up surplus over summer.
1934-9-13 Jim "Ox" Tatum, 200 lb. Carolina senior football player, caught for Kinston this summer. Hit sixteen homers, second to league-leading seventeen, and acquired new nickname: "Casey at the Bat."
1934-9-21 Orlin Rogers, elected captain of Virginia baseball team, had great season for Kinston. In regular season, won 20 of 21 games - won 16 in a row - struck out 15 in only loss.
1934-9-23 (Salisbury Post)
" 'Lefty' Jarrell, formerly a member of the Cartex mill and Oakdale pitching staffs of this vicinity and more lately a member of the Rockingham Co-En Cubs pitching staff, has signed a contract to play with Kinston in the Costal [sic] Plains [sic] League for next season it is learned here.
"Jarrell, who is spending the early fall months at Wrightsville Beach, was offered a contract with the Wilmington Pirates, to be farmed out to a team in Virginia but refused this contract, stating that he would rather be confined to his own responsibilities to work up rather than to be dependant [sic] upon a farm system."
1934-9-25 League was home to many Southern Conference college players - lists many. Gene Zaiser, future NYC semi-pro, played in league.
1934-10-01 Wings Shipp, who was voted most colorful baseballer in league this year, says there will be no pro football in New Bern this winter. He had organized it the last two years.

1934-8-30 Kinston 4, Greenville 1.
1934-8-31 Greenville 6, Kinston 4. Kinston went through entire season with same batting order - may be unique in baseball history. Team has .288 average. Gene Zaiser is from Long Island, and is formerly of the U. of N.C.
1934-9-02 Greenville 6, Kinston 2. Box. 2K+ ATT. "Hundreds perched on the fence and sat on the ground on all sides of the field." Greenville now leads 3-2.
"The defeat took a lot of spunk out of Kinston fans. The town has been in amateur, semi-pro, outlaw, Class D and Class B leagues ever since baseball became the national pastime. Never has it taken a pennant. This year's club was so good it wound up the season in first place by two and a half games after forfeiting ten games, which were distributed among three clubs, including Greenville, because of an ineligible pitcher."
1934-9-03 Greenville 5, Kinston 3. Greenville Greenies surprised all by winning pennant.
