r le Morning Watch WITH Edward Sachs Wilmington will be the scene of the first organization meeting of the year of the North Carolina Wildlife federation, Ross O Stevens, executive director of the Federation informs us. On Monday night- the local branch of the federation will meet in the courthouse with J. Edwin Bunting presid ing. Tuesday night the Southport group will meet with Bill Keziah as temporary chairman and on Wednesday evening Frederick B. Yates, president of the Colnmbus County Wildlife club, will preside at a meeting in Whiteville. Thus it would appear that Stevens is continuing to work for the federation despite the recent order from his boss that he desist or resign as biologist on the faculty of N. C. State College. His boss, Chancellor 3. H. Harrelson made Us state ment two weeks ago but It hasn’t fazed Stevens. The bi ologist tells us that the federation now has 91 affiliated clubs in 81 counties of the state with 11,000 members. His goal, he said was 25,000 members before the year is ended. City Softball Commissioner Roy J. Cook leaves today for Greensboro to enter the city’s bid for the state softball tourna ment in late August. However, Cook is not too optimistic about Wilmington’s chances. It seems that a large amount of coin must go along with the bid and city softball leaders are not sure the money involved is in line with the event’s drawing power. The death of Georgie Woolfe, the jockey who earned at least |800,000 in his years of riding was a shock indeed to sports fans. Woolfe ranked with Don Meade, Johnny Longdon and Nick Wall as a monby rider. Too good to be under contract to one stable, this type of rider’s forte is free-lancing. If an owner has a horse entered in a big stake race, he will pay a rider of this class a set sum for the one race and often will give an interest of the purse as a bonus for a winning ride. Nicknamed the Icemen, the cool rider from Canada is the first fatality to be recorded in turf history in several seasons. The recent regulation making the wearing of helmets by the riders compulsory has undoubtedly cut down the number of deaths. — When you consider the number of races in this country each day, the record of racing in keeping down fatal accidents is to be commended. It is probably one of the finest of major sports. Buck Cheek, forward on the Durham High school five which defeated the Wildcats here last season is seeing plenty of action with the Duke quint this season. Speaking of basketball, one of the finest scoring exhibitions in state history was put on the other evening by Earl Wooten of the Hanes Hosiery* five of Winston-Salem. Wooten made 40 points on 16 baskets and eight free throws as the Stockings lost to N. C. State College, 60 to 59. Understand that several of the nation’s sports writers who covered the Rose Bowl were not too impressed with Harry Gilmer of Alabama. His trick of leaping before he throws would be a hinderance in fast competition, several roidwestern scribes said while west coast writers think that the boy from Birmingham was several notches below the general all-around ability of Herman Wedemeyer of St. Mary’s. One scribe said that Coach Frank Thomas’’ claim that Gilmer is the best passer in the country was a little on the overzealous side! Several writers have said that the boy is several paces from the class throwing of Baugh, Waterfield, Luckman, Isbell and Bertelli. Still Gilmer helped Alabama beat Southern California and we think that was all the kid was supposed to do. These “great”, • greater”, and "greatest”, arguments always made us a little ill. DUKE GROUP NAMES MISS FORBES HEAD Miss Dorothy Forbes was elected president of the Wilmington chap ter of the Duke Alumni association at the annual banquet of the group in Fifth Avenue Methodist church last night.

G FOR LOUIS F HT HOT SPRINGS, Ark., Jan. 4—(JP) —Billy Conn will go into training here today for his heavyweight championship fight next June with Joe Louis, a battle the Pittsburgh challenger is confident he will win. Accompanied by his trainer, Fred Fierro, and his manager, Milton Jaffee, Conn arrived here this afternoon for a five-week training grind'. “I fully expect to win this fight with Louis,” declared the Pitts burgh kid, who almost did the trick in 1941 before he and the Brown Bomber entered the service. Conn lost that one on a knock out in the 13th round when he be came over-anxious. Until that heat the Pittsburgh battler appeared to be on the long end of the point count. , The 23-year-old title challenger, who spent three years in the army, thinks he’s too heavy at 193 Pounds and hopes to scale down to loU. The handsome Conn said he be lieved the June fight, for which neither a definite date nor site has been selected, would be staged at New York’s Yankee stadium.

COOPER'S SERVICE STATUS HOLDS UP CARD-GIANT DEAL NEW YORK, Jan. 4.—(U.R)—The deal through which the New York Giants hope to obtain Walker Coop er, star St. Louis Cardinal catcher, was reported to have hit a snag to night as the Boston Braves reveal ed that they still were in the market for the big receiver. The Giants were reported to have offered the Cardinals between $150,000 and $200,000 for Cooper and one of the many Cardinal left handed pitchers. Owner Sam Breadon of the Cardinals was re ported insisting that the Giants throw in Catcher Clyde Klutz. New York was reported balking on that Angle in fear that Cooper may not be released from the Navy before the start of the 1946 season and the Giants thus would be left with only slow Ernie Lombardi for their catching staff. A report from St. Louis said that Cooper may not be released from the Navy until AugOst. 106, MAKES COMEBACK CARIBOU, Me.

BEST (Hi OINTED BY HAMILTON IN THALIAN FEATURE Jimmy Brady Wins Windup . By Beating Returned GI Mobley Early Hamilton, an unorthodox southpaw puncher from Mt. Holly last night defeated Buddy Best of Wilmington in a 160 pound feature of a fight card at Thalian Hall. Best couldn’t fathom the style of the squat slugger from Mt. Holly and was caught time and time again by the “bolo” punch of Ham ilton. At that the decision was a close one for on several occasions in the later rounds of the 10 round go, the Wilmington boy caught Hamilton with left hooks. In the featured semi-windup the ring-wise Jimmy Brady of Boston struck a tartar in Wilmington’s Delmar Mobley. Although Brady took the decision as befitting a Southern middle weight champ he was never too for out in front of Mobley, until the last two rounds. * In a late round he hurt Delmar with a right cross drawing blood and from then on it was a case of the Boston lad hanging on to his point advantage. Other fights saw Tony White, 190 pounder of Wilmington, drop a rather slow fight to Spike Costin of Hampstead Johnnie Davis of Lumberton stopped a local boy, Jimmie Benson in a 140 pound go. Pee Wee Nealy 120 pounder of Whiteville was beaten by Kid Eason a 120 pounder and Jessie James edged Buddy Huggins in a 135 pound bout. However the best action of the evening took place in the featured bout, the Hamilton-West affair. The eighth and inth rounds saw the two boys keep punching after the bell and both were push ed through the ropes several times. T( f CUCCINELLO RELEASED BY SOX CHICAGO, Jan. 4— (fP) —Third baseman Tony Cuccinello, who was nosed out of the American League batting championship on the closing day of the 1945 season, today was given his unconditional release by the Chicago White Sox. Cuccinello, 37-year-old veteran oi 15 major league seasons, was re leased apparently in a move by the White Sox to rebuild with younger talent although general manager Les O’Connor said "Cooch” had desired to land a managerial post in the minor leagues. Previously, the White Sox sent Johnny Dickshot, 34-year-old out fielder to Hollywood of the Pacific Coast league, and released Le Roy Schalk, 35-year-old second sacker, to manage Oklahoma City in the Texas league. Cuccinello led the batting race most of the season, but finished one percentage point behind second baseman George Stirnweiss of New York, whose last-day hitting spree gave him a final .309 mark. Cigar-Smoking Tony, troubled by ailing legs during the closing half of last season, played with Cincin nati, Brooklyn, New York and Bos ton in the. National league before coming to the White Sox in 1943 after his release by the Braves. He started his professional career with Syracuse in the International League in 1926 and crashed the majors with Cincinnati in 1930. Prior to last season, Cuccineljo batted above .300 only four times, his best mark being. 315 with Cin vinnati in 1931. In 1941, the Giants named Tony manager of their Jersey City farm club. He was signed by the Braves as a player-coach in 1942. Ten days after he was released by the Braves in midseason, 1943, the -White Sox grabbed him.

Spring Football Drills ForNHHS, Brogden Says ■— *■__* Intermural Basketball For Younger Students Also Announced “A man’s work is from sun to sun ^jjile a woman’s work Is never done,” runs an old bit of street verse. The part about women might well be applied to football coaching for yesterday Leon Brodgen, head grid coach at New Hanover High school announced that spring training for his football players will begin Jan uary 24 and will last for six weeks. Following the midterm exami nations at the school, the gridders will have at least an hour’s prac tice daily, Brodgen said with daily blackboard work scheduled. . Brodgen attributed the Cats loss of four games this season to the absence of spring practice last year. “If for no other than this six weeks of grid work, I believe the football team this year will be above the 1945 squad,” the slight man with the booming voice told reporters. About 50 boys are expected to answer the call for spring practice, Brodgen said. He also added that he hopes "to schedule at least three practice games during the extra grid period. In addition to the spring foot ball drills, and the usual chores of coaching a basketball team, Brod gen also announced that a broader inter-mural basketball program will be installed for nineth and tenth grade students within the next few days. Brodgen said he expected each grade to be represented by ten cage squads and that play would be within the respective grades during the season, with a cham pionship series to be played at the end of the season. Track coach L. M. Harkins has been placed in charge of the intra mural program, Brodgeo said. In disclosing plans for the -basketball program, Coach Harking explained that games would be played five times a week, in the .afternoons following school hours,c and that once a week games would be play ed in the mornings during‘student assembly programs so that the ca gers could have the opportunity of playing before large crowds in ad dition to stimulating spore inter est among team members. In arranging the jjitra-mural program, the coaching-, staff ha» set a long range program in the development of improved basket ball squads at New Hanover. “The experience ga ned through intra mural play,’’ said Harkins, “will prove invaluable as 4he team members advance aryi become players on the varsity.*'. Complete arrangements for bas ketball among the nineth and tenth graders have not been Wily organ ized as yet, stated Haritins. Head coach Leon Brodgen isaid final plans would be announced follow, ing an organization-' meeting, which if scheduled to- be called sometime within the -next few days.- !S The organizational conference is expected to iron out game dates and playing arrangements in ad dition to making definite an nouncements regarding l rules un der which the intra-mural loop will operate. Coach Harkins, in discussing pre liminary plans for the two month season, said that approximately 400 to 500 boys were in the two grades, but he was anticipating only about fifty or seventy-five applicants from each grade to re port for practice and play when the call for boys is issued. The intra-mural loop is slated to operate through January and Feb ruary and will close with a two out-of-three- game series for the winning title of the two grades.
