CAPITALS SCORE
18TH LEAGUE WIN
Wilmington Moves to Durham
With the Circuit Lead
ing Bull Five

RALEIGH, Feb. 13.-Even though
they marked up their 18th victory
Of the season and their eighth in
the Eastern Class A conference,
there was little glory gained by
Raleigh's Capitals with a 30-18 vic
tory over New Hanover High Of
Wilmington here tonight.
After a team composed of four re-
erves and regular surged into
the lead after five minutes of play
in the first quarter, the locals never
were threatened. But the Caps were
terribly impotent and connected on
very few of their shots from action.
Coach Ray Gregson of the Caps
decided to start reserves and one
regular guard, Braxton Schell. The
starters held an S-4 lead at the end
of the opening period, and then the
four other regulars wen into action.
They did little better, holding a 1876
advantage at half-time. Bright spots
in the Raleigh performance were
play of Schell, Gordon Sauls, and
Hinky Joslin. Carl Sapp led local
scoring with 10 points. Cliff Owensby
led the Wildcats with 6.
Wilmington moves over to Dur
ham tomorrow for a game with the
league-leading Bulls.

lyn's Plans to Maintain
Franchise in City

DURHAM, Feb. 13.-tR-Profes-
sional baseball remains in Durham
with the Brooklyn Dodgers plac-
ing their Piedmont league fran
chise in this city.
This decision was reached today
at a meeting of Durham baseball
leaders, civic club heads, and city
officials, with L MacPhail.
president of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
MIR. MacPhail asked for support
Of the club from the fans of the
city and ironed out minor details,
such as park rental, ETC., and am
nounced his decision in favor Of
Durham.
Immediately after the meeting
the machinery necessary to set
the club going was gotten in mo-
ton, with Bascom Baynes, chair
man of the Durham athletic COM
mission, agreeing to serve as
president of the Bulls. He will
have a board of four, to be named,
and a baseball committee, also to
be named, to assist him in run
ming the club.
Mr.. MacPhail announced before
leaving for Miami, Fla, and then
Havana, Cuba, the only Brooklyn
representative in the front office
would be a business manager, who
has not yet been appointed. This
official is expected to be named
within the next few days.

closes the last gap in the Pied
mont league and enables the di-

their plans for the 1941 season at
the winter meeting to be held in

throwing long rights to the nose
and came through with the verdict.
80-pound class - In one of the
closest scraps of the night, JOHN
Odum came through with a mar
row decision over James Benson.
Both boys used rights and lefts
freely in all three rounds, with
Odum concentrating on a short
right in close. The first two rounds
found the two battling on fairly
even terms. In the final heat Odcm
let loose a furry of rights and
lefts to the head and eked out a

close range.
85-pound class - Spending most
of his time locking for an opening
and concentrating on long rights
to the head, T. c. Hunt won a
split decision over LinWood Rich.
Both boys were more than eau
tious about close in fighting. The
first round was almost an even
stephen affair but the second found
Hunt a little more on the often

two final heats with a narrow mar.
gin of points to win.

all Swami, with the little buzz

percut and following it up with d
sizzling left that kept Garfield be-
fuddled. AS the crowd cheered
them on, Garfield started dane
ing away from Swami and attempt
ing to land a long right, which
fell short most of the time. In
the final round, Garfield appeared
stronger and slugged Swami about
the face with rights and lefts, one
hard blow bringing blood. How
ever, the smiling Greasy had piled
up a hefty, chunk of points and
won easily. l
