James ]. Braddock,
Former Heavyweight
Champ, Visits City

James j. Braddock, the
cinderella Boy" of boxing,
checked into the Cape Fear
Hotel yesterday. At a late hour
last night he was not available
for an interview.
The one time worlds heavy
weight champion, who boxing
addicts will rember, fought
in the preliminary bout of the
Max Bear-Primo Camera
heavyweight battle on June
IA, 1884.
The next year Braddock de-
feated Max Bear in a Is round
bout in New York to win the
championship by a Judges de-
cisi0n.
On June %, 1887, Braddock
lost his title-He fought Joe
LOuis-Bradd0ck had the pres
ent champion on the floor in
the first round, but the lethal
fist of Louis knocked out Brad
dock in the eighth round.
1t could not be learned last
night how long the former
champion will remain in the
city.

that he felt Certain that an
agreement could be reached be-
tween a major league club and Will
mington.
At the present time major league
teams are anxious to expand
farmclub, and working agreement
operations, Llewlyn said. He also
stated that he was confident such
an arrangement could be worked
out here.
Luby Pollock, part owner of the
Wilmington baseball club said last
night he vas ''anXious to get Will
mington into a higher brand of
baseball" But, he added that the
mileage between the cities in the
Tri-State league was too far and
the operating expenses for the local
team would be too high. 1--WE would
lose money in the Tri-State
League Pollock said.
Pollock said that if Fayetteville
should move into a higher league
the Wilmington club will seek to
enter the Coastal Plain loop. "We
definately want to get into a high
err league, but I think that the To-
bacco State will be as fast as
either the Coastal Plains or the
Carolina Leagues" The local
prexy said.
1t is reported that the Carolina
League will be a Glass B organi-
cation this year. 1t was a Class
c last year, but league president
Dr.. Tom Wilson, of Draper, said
that there is a bright possibility
that the rating might be upped.
The Carolina League consists Of
Durham. Raleigh Martinsville.
Va, Danville, Va, Winstoa-Salem,
Burlington, Greensboro, and
L%eaksville. Reports out of Durham
say that Carolina League moguls
are interested in letting another
club take the Leaksville franchise
as this city fails to draw decent
crowds.
wilmington has one intention -
to work with a Major League club
next year." commented Pollock.
Asked what Big League team had
been approached, Pollock said that
Wilmington heads had not contact
ed any. eve are going to try and
get that settled at the national
baseball meeting" he said.

Clinton where they will meet the
Blues of that school under the arcs

the year to Mullins, S. c., Laurin-

ing to a scoreless draw with New
Hanover High "B". Brinkly will
be trying hard to win this battle
for, if he does So, it will put him
over the 800 mark for the first
time of the season. He has said
that he would not shoot the works

The up-and-coming New Han

will be cunning for their second
straight triumph of the season to-
night, when they play Elizabeth
town High at Legion Stadium at
8 o'clock. A intramuel game be-
tween two freshman elevens is
scheduled as a preliminary at
traction at $50 with the Blue club
meeting the Orange outfit.
Coach M. E. Mcdonald has not
yet decided upon his starting
team, but 1t is expected to be the
same as the one that trampled
Goldsboro's Jayvees, 1910. That
eleven had Lloyd Parker at full
back, Carl Jenkins at left half
back, Jack Parker at right half
back, and Homer Brewer at full
back.
Of these, the sparkplug is ex-
varsity star Homer Brewer, who
runs, passes and kicks with good
regularity. Brewers scholastic
record forced him to give up
varsity football, but did not stop
him from playing with the Junior
Varsity. He has been the "big'
reason fo- the B teams great
comeback on the gridiron.
Up front there will be Stanley
Knott at eft end; Tom Willis at

Bob Kennedy at right guard, Ed

there are many whose incomes have
not risen as rapidly as have the costs
OF the things which they buy. They
are the ones who will find their
gardening efforts profitable
1t has been learned from the best
sources that the Victory garden Of
flee will not be open this season.
The aid of the excellent paid super
visor will not be available but with
all the expert assistance that gard
eners have received in the past few
years most of them will need no
further help save such as they can
obtain for themselves. New gar
deners will find neighbors and
friends who will help, and The Star
is always standing by to aid through
its Sunday garden page.
Much of the land that has been
used for Victory gardens can be OBJ
tanned again. There are vacant lots
which may be used. Many will ar
range to find a share in larger
plot in order to take advantage of
cheaper ploWing and soil prepara-
ton. 1t is to be hoped that the
cost of soil preparation by team or
tractor will be more reasonable than
during the war. On the smaller
plots much can be done by hand if
the gardener is not overly ambitious.
Start early and do not undertake to
do the work in large doses.
A well-planned garden can be
made to produce an abundant sup
ply of vegetables for the family
table as well as surpluses for can
ming. The standard Victory garden
plot was 80 by so feet and in most
cases provided an ample supply for
the average family. A somewhat
larger plot is needed for large fam
lilies. 1t is usually more desirable
to have a small plot which can be
given adequate attention. A large
area which can be given inadequate
care, at best, is too often a failure
The quality of the produce from
well-cared-for garden is usually
far superior to that of poorly grown
vegetables. Furthermore, a small,
well-handled plot will produce a
surprisingly large amount of pro-
duce, as evidenced by the records
Of the winners of the garden con-
tests.
A garden convenient to the home
is the most easily cared for. One at
a distance can seldom be given at
tention except on week ends. This
is unfortunate, since the few min
utes spent on garden each day go
a long way toward keeping weeds
insects and diseases under control.
Most vegetables are best when har-
vested just as they are needed,
which for many kinds should be
