Daredeuils, Wildcats
Win in Cage Loop Play

A last second field goal enabled
the Daredevils of the Prep basket
ball and hockey loop to win out
over the Blue Devils by an 81 score
in a game on the 'Y" court yester-
day afternoon. In the second game
of the double-header, the Wildcats
ran wild to pile up a 26-1 victory
over the luckless Greyhounds.
The first game saw the Dare
devils leading by Al at the half
way mark but the Blue Devils came
back strong in the second half and
with three field goals in the last
quarter appeared to have the game
in the bag. In the last five seconds,
Hayden, sub forward for the Dare
devils, tossed in a follow-up shot
and gave them the win.
Captain Crowley of the Wildcats
used all his substitutes in chalking
up the most overwhelming triumph
of the season, holding the Grey
hounds scoreless until the final
period, when Rusher converted on
a free shot to mark the score
board.

Seabiscuit Statue to Be
Unveiled at Santa Anita

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 22.-R-
Seabiscuit will come back to the
scene of his greatest triumph, Santa
Anita Park, but not to ace again.
Charles s. Howard, owner of the
famed thoroughbred, said today a
life-size statue in bronze of Seabis-
cult would be unvealed at Santa Ami
ia at noon Feb. 6 and that the horse
would be brought here from the How
ard ranch in northern California for
the ceremony.
1t will be a Seabiscuit day. The
feature handicap of the card will be
named in his honor, and the retired
champion will lead the parade to the
post with his old jockey, Red Pollard,
in the saddle.
Sculptor Tex Wheeler spent four
months at the Howard ranch model

BRADLEY DECLARES
TELLER BEST PAID
Tigers Hurting Ace Likely to
Get Increase in Pay;
Talk Stirs Feud
BY r HAUCK .

CLEVELAND, Jan. 22-R-The
Tigers and the Indians, who bat
tied down 194O's pennant stretch
amid showers of vegetables and
baby bottles, went a-feudin' again
today.
When the smoke cleared away it
was apparent that both Bob Feller
and Buck Newsom are due to re-
ceive more than $50, 900 apiece this
year. It seemed that only a joint
investigation by Commissioner
Kenesaw Mountain Lands and
Sherlock Holmes could prove to
both Cleveland and Detroit fans
which of the two pitching stars
was the better paid.
Got $780, 900 In 1910
Owner Walter o. Briggs of the
Tigers said:
Last year Buck NeWsom re-
ceived $50, 900, which included his
bonuses, and he has signed his
1941 contract"
President Alva Bradley of the
Indians declared:
Bob Feiler still is the highest
paid pitcher in baseball; he was
the highest paid last year, too"
When Teller signed his 1941 con-
tract here ye:p.rday Indian Off
Gals said he was denitely the best
paid hurler in major league his
tory. Sports writers figured the con-
tract must represent $50, 600,
against the $27, 500 the strikeout
champion was popularity supposed
to have received last year.
That was round one. Round two
came today when Owner Briggs
broke a precedent to announce:
because of the many inquiries
I have decided to relax on the
rule we have had regarding the
amounts of salaries and the sign
ing of players. Last year Buck
Newsom received $50, 900, which
included his bonuses, and he has
signed his 1041 contract"
Detroit baseball circles, consid-
ering Briggs. practice of reward
ing his players for capturing the
American league flag, assumed
Newsom's 1941 contract must call
for more than $780, 900.
$50 Does Bob's"
$50 does Bob's," Bradley re-
sponded in Cleveland. 'Feller still
is the highest paid" Bradley said
previously that Teller received a
Substantial increase" this year.
Teller last year won 81 games.
Newsom took 81 in the regular
season, and was a Tiger sparkplug
in the World series. Bob's annual
income from endorsements and the
like has been estimated to add $10,-
900 to his Indians salary.
Incidentally, the baseball season

Known For Champs


Lumberton's fighting crew is very
well known here, as / tourna-
ments past there have been sever
al champions that came out OF the
Robson fight meet.
Amateur boxers from the coun-
ties of Robson, Cumberland, Scot
land. Columbus, Richmond and
Bladen have been invited to par
ticipate in the leather singing and
a long list of entries is expected.
The Lumberton officials have ar
ranged for a very satisfactory
tournament and ample reward IS
promised for all winners.
Winner from the Six-County meet
and the Roanoke Rapids tourney
being held the latter part OF this
week will be brought to Winning
ton. Other team entries include an
outfit from Fayetteville, headed by
Vance (Red) Beard and a band OF
both open and novice division nght-

performance interest. BE sure 10

On Baseball Salaries
Talk of such pay as $4,000 to
Roh Teller. $50. 900 and better to
Buck Newsom, $4,000 to Hank
Greenberg gives rise to the thought
in the minds of many if baseball
players are too highly paid.
We agree that $780, 600 isn't exac<
" hay for anybody, much less a
22-vear old Iowa farm boy like Eel
Ter. But we imagine most fans will
saw they're worth it, and the club
owners are pretty sure that their
stars are worth that much to them
For one thing America has to
have it's heroes and they r will
ing to shell out plenty to see their
heroes perform. So there's little
doubt but that Feller will mean
MANY times more than $50, 600 to
the Cleveland owners when n
turnstiles start clicking.
In our opinion the highly paid
diamond performers are worm
every cent they can demand-and
get by with it.
Odds And Ends
Glenward Blomme reports thai
there's a chance the high school
gymnasium will be ready for use
in another month or so. :. And
Thalian hall is being made ready
for most any type of performance
in the next few weeks. Basket
ball at New Hanover High school,
never very much of a sports rev.
enue producer, is finding it harder
than ever this season to break
even, due to daytime games and
lack of their own gym for practice
and playing. Raleigh swim
mers have already started train
ing for the coming meets in which
they will defend their state water
championship. From all re-
ports that new electric scoreboard
at Duke can do just about every
thing but talk. Talk about

not save Tobruk and it's Fascist
garrison from the British army of

entered the town yesterday, ac-
cording to British reports from the
front.
The Greeks have reported throw
ing back the most formidable Ital-
ian counter attack of the Albanian
campaign. The peril of all Fascist
forces in southern and south-cen-
trail Albania is increased, not les.
sened. Bad weather, not Germany,
is helping stave off disaster.
Internal disorders in Rumania
are hampering intellectually any
immediate aid to Italy by the mas
sive Nazi military force gathered
there. This force must first re-
establish order and protect Ru-
manian oil sources from internal
or external developments tn a t
could impede the flow of fuel for
the Nazi war machine.
Nor is it by any means certain
that Russian influences may not
have had something to do with in
stigation of the Rumanian rioting.
Some communists are reported to
have been casualties in the street
fighting. One wing of the Rumani-
an iron guard is definitely more
pro-Soviet than pro-Nazi.
Can't Be Ignored
Berlin cannot well ignore a pos
sible underground relationship be-
tween Moscow and tie Rumanian
turmoil. 1t tends to balk or delay
German aggression in the Balkans,
and Soviet hostility to any further
expansion of the Nazi influence
there is beyond question.
1t is no less implied in emphatic
new warnings from Turkey that
she is ready to meet with force
any Nazi incursions into her ter
ritory or even into Bulgaria. Tacit
Moscow approval of that reiter-
ated Turkish attitude is hardly to
be doubted. It was fore or less
reflected in Moscow's own celebra.
ton of a Lenin anniversary, the
theme of which was Russian mill
tary and economic preparedness.
Nor can Berlin overlook an
American gesture of r~approche-
ment toward the Soviets in the an
nouncement that the moral en-
barge on airplane sales to Rus.
STA had been rescinded.
That Washington move no doubt,
primarily concerns the Far East
ern rather than the Near Eastern
situation; but it might have some
bearing on the Balkan crisis as
well.
Supported Theory
The theory that Meow well
coined the Rumanian disorders,
even if it did not actually help in
cite them, is supported by the fact
that the Russians pro- ably know
more about actual Nazi oil re-
serves than any one else. They
know. at least, what Germany has
obtained or is going to obtain from
Russia to supplement the made
quate Rumanian output.
They also are fully ware that
any threat of disruption Of the Ru-
manian oil flow to Germany pro-
baby would be of far greater con-
Germ to Berlin that Mussolini's
fate in Africa or Albania.
Instigation Of rioting in Rumania
would be, one means Of holding OH
a German march to Italy's aid via
Bulgaria or Yugoslavia. There is
evidence that both those countries
regard the Rumanian situation as
decreasing the probabilities of any
German move in their direction. 8
