Branch Hickey To Fight
For Chain Store Baseball

Hickey said he had just two
statements to make on that SUBJ
ject: lone, the farm system is not
altogether a result of effort on the
part of the higher classification
clubs but resulted partly from the
needs of clubs in the lower classes.
Two, the rehabilitation of the mi
nors does not rest on theories. The
leagues will exist or not exist.
They can exist only because
they're properly financed. Judge
Bramham CIV. G. Bramham, presi-
dent of the National Association
is as good a source as you can 60
to in order to find out if financing
can be done by local capital in
inexperienced hands"
Bramhan. recently issued a
statement strongly favoring local
ownership of minor league clubs.
Citing the comparatively small
reserve lists of the major league
clubs, Hickey indicated that he
doubted whether class AA and Al
baseball would continue in 1914.
II see no reason for doubt about
the majors going ahead" he said.
II am glad the double-A's all feel
confident and I wish l could feel
as confident as they are"
The class C and D leagues will
not face the same problems, he
explained, because they are in bet
ter position to secure players who
are free agents.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2o.-lR-
Branch Hickey, a man of many
words, left a lot of things unsald
1T a press conference today but
he also said enough to convince a
group of reporters that he is ready
to put up a fight to "chain store
baseball if it becomes necessary.
After giving off few prelimi-
nary sparks yesterday when he
said that baseball Commissioners
K. M. Lands is not interested IN
the extension of baseball, Hickey
kept the fireworks under cover to-
day while he discussed the short
age of good ball players and the
difficulty of getting. them to sign
contracts.
When someone finally brought up
the question of whether the con-
troversy over the farm system will
be revived when the najor-rninor
league agreement is rewritten this
year, the originator of the chain
idea looked out the window a mo-
ment and replied: II suppose it
will.
IT should like to limit the dis
cussions Of the postwar planning
committee to the re-alignment of
leagues. Its about baseball as a
whole; the existence of leagues I'M
der a better setup than they have
had bfore. I would say thre is a
concentration of opponents of the
farm system on the committee.

CHARLEY PARKER
OUT FOR RECORDS

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 90
lR-Flyin' Charley Parker, the
blond bullet of Texas schoolboy
track, doesn't promise that he'll
better any of his marks this year
but ventures that if he does it will
be because of added height.
Charley won't have to surpass
his 1943 performances much to
hang up world records. He already
is national scholastic 220-yard king
with a 206 seconds timing and he
has raced the 100 in 9.5.
eff I better any of my 1943 rec
ords. I would say a heightened
stride caused by added height
would be accountable said tho
Pony Express now in his final
season at Thomas Jefferson High
School.
Parker is II years old, feet
9 IL inches tall and has gained
exactly one pound over last year,
weighing in at lat.
An appendicitis attack prevented
him from competing in the Ma
tional AAU last year after he had
set dash records at the Texas III
terscholastic league meet. He
hopes to make the AAU, the Drake
Relays and other major events this
season.
Charley hasn't lost dash race
in two years and has 81 straight
victories to his credit.

New Hanover Hoopsters
Meet Raleigh Tonight
Wildcats Gun
ming For 4th. Con-
ference Win

The New Hanover High Wildcats
place their undefeated in confer
ence cage play title in grave dan
ger tonight when they tangle with
the Needham Broughton quint of
Raleigh at 800 in the Hanover
gym. The clever cat hoopsters have
defeated Wilson, Goldsboro and
Hugh Mcrson of Raleigh in their
three loop contests of the season.
Tonight's engagement is expect
ed to pit the Wildcats against their
most formidable foe as the Brough-
ton courteers have been bowling
over their opponents with ease.
The last victory of the Cats was
& win over the Hugh Morson team
IN which the locals were most i'm
ii essive with their well-rounded
play.
The capitol city hardWooders are
reported to use fast breaking at
tack, with heavy emphasis on
speed and snappy passing. Their
club is composed of veterans who
have had much experience on the
court and is said to be a swell bal
anced aggregation.
The starting five for the local
cagers will be tie same group used
in the Wildcat wins of the sea-
son.
AL "Melon' Collie, clever floor
man and fine shot, will be in his
regular forward position. His rum
ming mate in the other forward
slot will be 6 foot, inch Harry
Williams.
Big "Beak'' Tsantes, high scoring
pivot man for the Cats, will be in
the center position. Members OF
the Hugh Morson, that the Cats
defeated last Friday, rated the ag-
uressive hook shot artist as one Of
The best cage performers they
had come in contact with all sea-
son.
The starting guards for the Han
overians will be Whitley Aud and
Doug Pridgen. This tricky two
some has been largely responsible
for the Cats success, as they have
turned in fine defensive games as
well as pacing their scoring at
tack.
