DURHAM, March 15--Frankfort's
youthful High school team Friday
night eliminated the Wilmington
Wildcats. 1925, from the champion,
ship bracket Of the Duke-Durham
Southern High School Invitational
basketball tournament.
Frankfort thus qualified to meet
the winner Of the Greenville, S. c..
Southern of Baltimore contest
slated for the second game Friday
evening. Wilmington will play the
loser Of the game in the consola.
ton final at 1880 pm. Saturday.
An intricate series of blocks and
screen plays was the cause of the
local cagers' downfall after their
surprising win over second-seeded
Coolidge High Friday morning.
The Cats were just a shadow of
their Coolidge form as they were
held to five points during the en-.
tire second half.
W. A. Brown, tiny floor guard,
led the losers with seven points
and his usual ball-hawking play.
Bobbie Moore, six-foot center Of
the Kentucky team, spearheaded
the Frankfort attack with / points.

WAIVER LISTS
FILLING FAST

TAMPA, Fla, March 15.- Up
Basebalps 30-day trial period for
ex-GIs is running out and the waiv-
err lists will be eye-high with talent
within 10 days.
That doesn't mean that the re.
turning servicemen are going to
be brushed out of the way. It does
mean, however, that national de-
tense list player soon can be op-
toned to the Minor leagues at the
same pay provided he can be waiv-
ed out of the majors at the standard
81, 500 price.
The rule from Commissioner A.
3. Chambers office reads in part,
The contract of a reinstated ma
tional defense player shall not be
assigned outright or optionally to
a club Of lower classification until
the player has been retained by the
reinstating club 80 days of train
ing season or IS days of a playing
season.
Take the Brooklyn Dodgers, just
for example. President Branch
Hickey invited most of the service
men from the Dodgers and farm
club lists to a special conditioning
school at Sanford, Fla, starting
Feb. i. Most Of the younger ath-
letes responded. Waivers now can
be asked on those players who are
not considered ready by the
Brooklyn or the farm link that
held their contracts.
With so much talk emanating
from the Sanford camp about bril-
liant Brooklyn youngsters, you can
be sure that the other moguls will
scan the Dodgers waiver lists very
carefully in hopes Of picking up
something hot at a nominal $500
ticket.
There is the usual gimmick to
this waiver business. They can be
withdrawn, but only once in the
case of defense player. New
York, for instance, might claim
Dodger player. Brooklyn could take
his name off the list but would be
bound to retain him on its own
roster for at least so days.

GRIFFITH SEEKS
FEUD SETTLEMENT

HAVANA, March 15-P)-Presi.
dent Clark Griffith of the Washing
ton Senators said, Friday, he
would actively support any move
initiated by Mexican League Off.
Gals to settle the current baseball
war raging between Mexico, Cuba
and the United States.
Griffith's remarks came amidst
a concerted campaign by Jorge
and Bernardo Pasquel, wealthy
Mexican league officials, to lure
major leaguers to the Mclean
league with offers Of '1ots Of
pesos" Washington players, in
training here, have been among
chief prospects Of the Pasquel
brothers.
Griffith told 80 sportswriters at
a news conference 1--WE all must
acknowleda the fact that baseball
cannot live and prosper and meet
the approval of the people without
organization. 1t must have con-
certed orga cation to keep it clean
and above reproach."
Griffith said he looks forward
to the day when Cuba will have an
organized league of its own, EN-.
bracing all the larger cities OF the
island" He praised Merito Acosta,
manager of Havana's entry in the
new, u. S..approved Florida Inter
national league, as taking the
first step in this direction"
You do not need to fear but
what organized baseball Of the
United States will lend help to your
winter league, if conditions are
right" Griffith added.
Referring to the Mexican prob
lem. Griffith stated, II venture the
opinion that the United States,
along with Cuba and Mexico, can
work out an agreement which will
respect one another's contracts
and serve to straighten our present
day difficulties"
