Welfare Board Now
Carrying Out Recent
Child Placement Law

Steps to abide by an act of the
19lI session OF the legislature re-
oauine a child placement registra-
tiou are now under way by the mem
brrs of the County Welfare Board.
and certain procedures which have
been set mp by the State Department
of rubiic Welfare are now being car
li,I out, according to Francis f.
Connolly, executive secretary. The
law became effective in all counties
OF the state ON June /.
Mr. Connolly said the law applied
to all persons mot regularly engaged
in a business of providing foster
care" but planning to take child
into their home. All such persons are
required to register with the local de-
parment. The law covers all unre-
lated children under l6 years Of age
who are taken into family homes
other than those licensed as foster
homes by the local department. 1t
applies equally to those taking child
rem into their homes with the pros
poets OF adoption and those merely
planning to care for children.
lie pointed out the law had as its
basic intention the protection Of the
child and was designed to pat stop
to the handing around of children
from home to home until their ident-
jty is lost
Mr.. Connolly outlined other pro-
visions of the law.
Qualifications
The Department is required to ex-
anime the qualifications Of foster
parents in respect to the kind of fam
lily life they can offer, including the
protection of the religious back
ground of the child.
The regulations further state, THE
Department needs to be convinced
shat the foster parents are reason
ably sensitive to the child's needs;
that their family life offers a setting
that will foster the child's growth
and development"
When all is satisfactory, certiH-

RED SPRINGS LAD
JOINS PRO RANKS
Ineligible To Play For UNC
Coleman Heads For
Louisville

CHAPEL HILL, April 11.-(P)-
Hemp Coleman, the lanky Red
Springs lad who had been count
leading pitchers this season.
ed on to be one of Cardinals
leading pitchers this season, gave
up college baseball to join the
professional ranks because he was
enthusiastically ineligible to play this
season, it developed here today.
Coleman passed all of his work
last quarter and by Southern Con-
ference standards vas eligible to
represent Carolina, it was pointed
out by the records office, but he
missed by a hair having sufficient
quality credits for eligibility by
Cardinals own requirements,
which are higher than those of
the conference.
Coleman recently signed a con-
tract with Louisville of the Amer
lean Association "a link in the
American League Boston Red Sox
farm chain. He made the move
only after ascertaining that he
definitely was ineligible to play
for Carolina.
Boston cub officials have point
ed out that, in accordance with
their long standing policy, they
would not have negotiated with
Coleman if he had bee Ineligible

May Take Hill
Fourth Game Of Mythical
Seacoast Series Sche-
, duled At 7:45

The Wilmington Pirates are slat-
ed to play the New Bern Bears
tonight at the American Legion
Stadium at 7:45 o'clock in the
fourth game of the Seacoast series.
Manager Nate Andrews said yes
terday that he would probably
clumb the hill for a three inning
workout in tonight's contest. Big
Nate did not give any indication
as to who will work with him.
Roy Lamb and Andy Poklemba
have arrived in camp and may see
action in tonight's game, Andrews
said. Lamb, a utility man On the
squad last season will probably
be called for some hurting when
the season opens. Poklemba is
expected to tryout for first base.
Harry Bridges has been holding
down the initial sack during the
exhibition games. Andrews said
last night he did not have the
taintest idea how his lineup would
read for the game tonight.
Andrews and business manager
Morris Wade are expected to go
to New Bern this afternoon or Sun
day to talk with Lefty Gomez,
former New York Yankee pitcher,
who is now manager of the Blng-
hampton, N. Y. club. Wade said
he would try to arrange some ex'
hibition games with the Binghamp'
TON club here next spring.
Gomez and Andrews are old
friends and the Wilmington Pilot
said he would See what Lefty can
do for me in the way of pitchers"
20 Wade also announced last night
that when the Wilmington Pirates
clash with the Class A Albany,
N. Y. nine in an exhibition game
in Legion Stadium April -, a d.
rect Western Union wire to the
New York capitol will report the
game.
Travelling with the Albany team
is Dick Walsh, Of the A b a y
Times-Union, and a correspondent
from the Knickerbocker News in
Albany, and they will send the
play-by-play direct to their home
papers from the stadium p r e S S
box.
Albany is today playing the Sa-
vannah Indians Of the S a y

and Sunday to Jacksonville, Fla,
with two battles with the Tars

Former Wildcat Football Star
Enters Georgia Tech Backfield

most memorable to local fans be-
ing in the Durham game, when he
crashed over for a touchdown to
deadlock the score. In that game,
Bubba played with a broken nose,
refusing to be sidelined despite
his injury.
The Wildcats last year entered
the Fayetteville clash as under
dogs, and Sykes led the way to
victory with an afternoon of long
runs and completed passes,
although he didn't score himself.
He set up Wilmington's important
safety with a punt from his own
forty yard line that rolled out OF
bounds on the Fayetteville two
foot marker, and started things
rolling Wildcat way.
At the completion of the season
last year, Sykes had tailed Y
personal points, which was third
highest in the conference, but still
didn't tell the true story of his
worth to the team, as he set UP
as many points as he scored.
He was named to the All-Eastern
team in the backfield slot, and
then with basketball taking over
the scene, he faded from the lime
light. Briefly during baseball sea-
son this spring, Sykes has been
listed as an outfielder for the Wild.
cats, but he will probably give UP
the diamond play to concentrate
on studies prior to entering Tech.
Sykes is one of about a dozen
schoolboy stars the Tech football
scouts have grabbed for future
play, but the Wilmington star was
one of the few that was asked to
return for a second peek. Tech is
not satisfied to get Sykes next
September, in which case he would
play freshman ball in 1e47, and
then three years of varsity ball.
They want him in June in order
to capitalize on the local lads
ability for four solid years.
When Bubba returned home YES
terday, after a short three-day
practice session with the Engi-
neers, a letter from The Citadel
was awaiting him, but the MINIS
athlete has definitely decided on
Tech.
