Randall, The league that included the North Wilkesboro Flashers, Galax Leaves, Lenoir Oilers, Elkin Blanketeers, and the Saltville Alkalies in the 1950's-1960's was known as the "Burley Belt League". Many former members of the Tar Heel League & Blue Ridge League.
The Alkalies, folded in 1967. Surprisingly, quite a lot of info on the web about this semi-pro league.... here's one.... http://www.rlrouse.com/saltville-alkalies.html Here's an article of a recent Galax Leaves reunion/oldtimers game.... looks like they may have been around in the 70's.... http://www.galaxscrapbook.com/index....orts&Itemid=53 Here's an obit that gives a pretty good summary of the Lenoir Oilers & pitcher Jay Knight's past; including name changes by the team and in the league in your time frame, etc. http://www.greer-mcelveenfuneralhome...user_id=312386 I'm done. Fun project..... Last edited by pariah1107; 12-09-2013 at 02:58 PM.
