BY GENE WARREN

DURHAM, Feb. 5.-A fighting
New Hanover High school team
handicapped by the loss of Johnnie
McKoy, on personal fouls early in
the game, was upset here today
by the Durham High school in an
Eastern conference game, 40 to

Leading at the end of the first

the Bulldogs were able to defeat
the Cats. Both squads made 10

Local Representative
Meets With Tri-State
BY EDWARD SACHS
Star Sports Writer

After vain1y trying to interest
city and county officials all day
in acting as baseball representa-
tives of Wilmington to the Tri-
State League meeting in Charlotte
today, j. E. L. Wade last night ap-
pointed Jay Jenkins, Star-News re-
porter as his personal representa-
tive at the meeting.
Wade explained that city and
county officials were very inter-
ested and cooperative in further
ing this city's baseball interests
but that conflicting appointments
and civic duties kept them from
attending the meeting.
'Mr. Jenkins has kindly con-
sented to act as my representa-
tive" Wade informed this news
paper. He will not make any
commitments but will listen to all
propositions of the Tri-State league
and will report back here to the
Citizens committee before we
make any definite steps"
jenkins left Wilmington last
night Immediately after his ap-
pointment and will be one of the
representatives of various south
ern cities to meet with c. M.
Llewellyn at the Hotel Charlotte
this noon to discuss the future of
the Tri-State league.
The appointment of Jenkins was
an indication of the city's contin-
ued interest in Class B baseball
despite the rejection of the Citizens
committee of Tri-State overtures
last week. Despite that rejection,
interested fans in Class B base
ball here, Llewellyn and Wade
continued to press the issue. It
was through these efforts that the
city is represented today.
Meanwhile in Raleigh Sam Allen,
promoter Of the Class D Tobacco
State league told the Associated
Press that Wilmington is still be-
ing considered for a berth in mis-
league.
A significant paragraph in the
APP story read as follows:
Inability to find a sixth team is
holding up the organization of the
! Tri-State, and it is believed SPECIAL
inducements will be offered Viii.

Although Llewellyn has made nc
indications of offering special in.
ducements" he has stressed his
desire to see Wilmington in the
league if at all possible.

REALISTIC TOUCH

WASHINGTON, Feb. s. (P -
National Pistol and Rifle champi-
onship contests will be resumed
this year with something new add
ed-rapidfiring at moving targets
under simulated war conditions.
The National Rifle association
said today that plans have been
made for the 1916 competitions ION
a much larger scale" The last
championships were held in 1s41.
GAS a result of war experiences
and desires of returning service
men," the association said, well
introduce rapid-firing at moving
targets along with firing tactics
while crawling on the stomach.
"The idea behind this is that by
keeping men tuned up on shoot
ing in civilian life they accustom
themselves to the operation of
weapons for wartime"
No dates or sites have been
selected for this years champion
ship events but regional qualify.
ing meets probably will be con-
Quoted in June or July with the
championships coming late in the
summer. Before the war, the cham.
pionships usually were held al
Camp Perry. Ohio.
There may be some delay in
the resumption of 80 caliber
championships because of equip.
ment and Rehabilitation prob

The 20 caliber rifle and pisto
championships, both individual anc
team, will be held as well as wo

Such pre-war champions as Har

LOUIS, CONN BRAwL.
WILL Be SELL0UT
BY JACK CUDDY
United Press Sports Writer

OAAtCu L AOSo oPVA WILMA
NEW YORK, Feb. 5-WD-Pro-
moter Mike Jacobs disclosed today
that more than $4,000 ringside
orders for the Joe Louis-Billy Conn
heavyweight title fight on June 10
had already been received.
About one third of the orders
were accompanied by money
orders on the assumption by the
would-be purchasers that top prices
would be 500. The orders have
come in from 40 states and several
foreign countries.
Various organizations are order
ing in large blocks. For example
an order was received today from
the Detroit Athletic club for $50
seats.
Jacobs plans to announce the
price Of tickets about April l.,
and he said that the price range
would depend upon general condi-
tons at that time.
Champion Louis visited Jacobs
at 20tA Century headquarters to-
day and said that he was leaving
for Detroit Thursday. From De-
troit he will 60 to Chicago for a
one-day visit and then continue
on to Los Angeles where he will
remain until March /.
From Los Angeles he will 60 to
French Lick Springs, Ind, for two
months of preliminary condition
ing. Then he will shift to his old
camp at Pompton Lakes, N. j.. for
his intensive training. Louis said
that when he last weighed, about
two weeks ago, he scaled 22o
pounds, but that he expected to
pare down to about 208 pounds for
his return brawl with Conn.
Jacobs told reporters that he al
ready has begun preliminary prep
arations for his vast field seating
setup at Yankee Stadium. He has
one force of men piling and sorting
lumber in lumber yard in North
ern New Jersey and another force
in a nearby saw mill, cutting the
wood and supports for the raisee
seats in addition to the $4,000 il
the stands and bleachers.
Commenting upon the post-wa,
cost of installing this seating pro
ject Jacobs pointed out for example
that lumber for which he used t,
pay $45 thousand feet, now cost
him $184.
Jacobs said he planned to have
five title bouts in New York thi!
summer. Most of them probably
will be staged out of doors. In con
nection with a title bout to be hele
at San Francisco on Feb. Is, Ma
Fleischer, editor of the Ring maya
zine today sent a world bantam
weight championship belt to Harry
b. Smith, veteran columnist O.
the San Francisco Chronicle. Smitl

Bulldogs Upset Wildcat Five, 40 To 38
MacPhail Raps Chandler
On Public Statements

NEW YORK, Feb. 5-RAPresi-
dent Larry MacPhail of the New
York Yankees quoted the rule
book to commissioner A. B.
CHappy) Chandler today and told
him he was out of order in criti-
Ching any increase in baseball ad-
mission prices.
After MacPhail had announced
an average increase of 7 IL per-
cent in Yankee Stadium seats
prices for 1916, Chandler was quot
ed as saying that after the poorer
wartime ball he thought the public
was entitled to a better brand
without paying more for it.
MacPhail, the man generally
credited with making possible
Chambers election less than
year ago, said he had been assur-
ed by the commissioner that he
had not been misquoted. Then he
cut loose with printed statement
calculated to make Chambers ears
burn.
IF Commissioner Chandler has
been correctly quoted regarding
admission prices" MacPhail stat
ed, ut is evident that the COM
missioner has failed either to
study his contract with the major
leagues or comprehend the scope
of his duties and responsibilities.
"The major league agreement
confers on the commissioner ad-
ministrative powers limited to en-
forcing the baseball rules adopted
by the two major leagues. On his
own initiative his activities are
restricted to the investigation OF
conduct detrimental to baseball.
THE question of admission
prices by the terms of the Ameri-
can League constitution is a matter
for determination by individual
clubs. It is not matter over
which the commissioner has jurls-
diction Of any kind.
1T is not the prerogative Of the
commissioner to criticize publicity
either major league or its MEM
bers in the exercise of their ex-
elusive legislative powers"
In Boston, where Chandler was
to attend Baseball Writers dinner
tonight, he said I'm not interest
ed in what MacPhail said. Any
baseball problems will be resolved
in the commissioner office and
not in the public press"
MacPhail quoted figures to justi-
fly the increase in stadium prices,
adding, II know Of nine or 10
other clubs that plan to raise their
prices. I just happened to be the
first to announce it,"
Eddie Brannick, secretary Of the
New York Giants, said President
Horace Stoneham had made no
final decision on the matter and
Harold Parrot, secretary of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, had the same
answer. The Chicago White Sox
already have announced five
cent boost In general admission
tickets.
The Yankees operating expense
will be over 100000 according
to MacPhail, including farm sys-
tenn costs. The club crossed $922,-
48O, exclusive Of taxes, in 1945 on
1877, 1882 paid admissions for net
of $672,695 with the league and
visiting clubs cut taken out.
The new seat scale probably will
be SLIPS for general admission,
$1.75 for reserved seats and $3.50
for boxes. The bleacher price eco
cents last Year, has not yet been
determined.
