RULING ON MCK0Y
MAY END SEASON
FOR l%5 QUINT
School Officials Plan Pro-
test Over Eligibility
Group Findings

Future status Of varsity basket
ball in Wilmington remained in
doubt last night after the New
Hanover High Wildcats were suled
out Of further conference competi-
ton for the current season by n
decision Of the Eligibility commit
tee Of the North Carolina High
School Athletic association on
Tuesday night at Chapel Hill.
The committee decreed that
New Hanover had illegally played
its star center. Johnny McKoy. in
a conference game against Raleigh
on Jan. 1s-four days before Nc.
Koy was eligible for league play.
Whether the MINIS varsity would
disband for the balance Of this
year, or whether it would attempt
to negotiate an independent sched-
ule could not be ascertained as
Principal T. T. Hamilton, Jr., and
Coach Leon Brogden could not be
contacted last night.
Rumors about the High school,
yesterday however, said that the
varsity probably would be dis
banded for the balance Of the
year.
The McKoy issue. smouldering
in Raleigh since Raleigh High
schools coach protested the pre-
sence of the New Hanover center
in conference game here on Jan.
10, was taken up by the NCHSAA
Tuesday night following the Dur
ham-New Hanover game.
The Eligibility committee de-
creed that McKoy was not eligible
on Jan. IS, hence, under confer
ence rules, New Hanover forfeited
all OF its conference games-wins
and losses-and that any confer
ence games it might play for the
balance OF the season would not
be official.
The ruling. Secretary c. Z. Nc
Intosh said yesterday. was almost
identical to the one which decreed
that Raleigh High school foot
ball player, Joe Jordan, was In
eligible during the season Of 1914,
and on which Raleigh was COM
PEELED to forfeit It's conference
standing for that football season.
TT must be understood, McIn-
tosh informed the Star by tele-
phone from Chapel Hill. yester-
day, 'that the committees action
was no reflection against McKoy,
nor was reflection against the IN
tegrity of Mr.. Hamilton or Coach
Brogden. They acted In good
faith. It was simply technicality
but violation Of the rules,
nonetheless."
The whole issue revolved
around an Interpretation of when
the New Hanover High school Fall
semester ended and the Spring
semester began. McKoy, not eligi-
bic to play conference games in
the fall term, passed his examina-
tons and on Jan. II was certified
by the NCHSAA for conference
competition on the ground that he
had satisfied scholastic require
ments for the preceding semes.

Yankees still has hopes.
For a fellow VINO doesn't 90 to

diamond scene. He agrees that
wartime baseball was a poor

too much from the returning vet
Grams. Ruth doesn't share the
popular belief that discharge slip
and a few spring training games
can reconvert the big league of
1912.

The Bambino thinks the Yanks

he likes the st. Louis Cardinals in
the National.

ton lost the sixth spot franchise in
the Tri-State League today when
the executive committee voted to
grant the franchise to Shelby,
county seat of Cleveland county.
The decision was made, Judge
C. M. Llewellyn, league president,
told The Star, because of mile
age distances and Shelby gives the
Tri-State more campact circuit of
operations. However the league
president assured The Star that
the league Is still hoping to have
Wilmington as a member this
year. He said that if Wilmington
could arrange the necessary
financing for a Class B league, the
loop would plan an eight-club cir
cult with Gastonia or Rock Hill as
the eighth member.
Shelby was promised an outside
operator, in return for which the
city agreed to furnish the park, pay
the light bill and place a deposit
OF 81 900 with the league. The Shell
by presentation, backed by repre-
sentation from that city's Chamber
of Commerce, hinged on the city's
past record Of Glass D operation
which though no financial struc-
ture was indicated, was regarded
as in proximity to other loop cen
tiers. :
Another point in the Shelby argu-
ment which seemed to impress the
league was the nearness Of the ball
park to the business section OF the
city.
Wilmington's case was presented
by Jay Jenkins, Wilmington News
reporter acting as personal repre-
sentative of J. E. L. Wade, chair
man OF the Citizens Committee.
Jenkins stressed city's growth in
population and pointed out that the
subscription Of Wilmington fans tc
proposed baseball club, exceed
ed the Shelby total by almost three
times.
Jenkins also pointed out to the
committee. that it was harder fol
a city like Wilmington to prepare
for organized baseball after sew
eral years of going without, than q
city like Charlotte which has hae
baseball all through recent years.
