Final Test Today
Last fall Durham beat Green's
boro for the state football title.
AS the winter months went by. the
Bulldogs grabbed the basketball
and wrestling crowns. A few weeks
ago they annexed the state track
championship.
And now, if Durham can beat
Greensboro this afternoon they
will have the baseball champion
ship. Thus sewing up the titles In
lust about every sport.
Starting off on the wrong foot,
the Bulldogs looked their worst
the afternoon New Hanover beat
them 7 to 0 at Legion field. But
they vercam that and went on
TO wind up the season in a tie
with Wilson. In a game last Wed
nesday, Durham beat Wilson 9 to
7 TO take the Eastern champion
ship.
If things keep up, all the other
teams in this conference will get
a bad case of interiority complex

Using young players is making a
number of major league clubs rise
out of lethargic stages and become
real threats.
One of the best examples is the
team once known as the "Phoollsh
Phillies." They can no longer be
described as that for with the ad-
dition of Bob Bragan at shortstop
and Art Mahan at first base. the
Phils have been winning ball
games right and left.
Other clubs rolling along at a
merry gait as a result OF rookie
talent are the Boston Red SoH,
Philadelphia Athletics, and Brook

youngsters pay dividends.
