Yes Andy Kirk, the leader of the Tlouds of Joy witnessed the jrreat Eaglej? fly over the Bull of Smith in that hard-fou"ht titl. Andy (Mr. Kirk) .says; ^‘It’s one of the best tean'R I've ever seen in aetion, those Eagles are on time that Rorky Roberson is ipollosal and John Brown caii't lie beat on Baek-board work.” Yours trnly agrees with Mr. Kirk but definitely.

XEW YORK — From Mana ger McKinley “Bunny” Downs, niaking ready to start his socoril season at the helm of the popu lar Cincinnati Clowns of th«" Negro American League — th ' former Miami Ethiopian Clowns, 1941 national semipro champ ions — comes word that the club is going ahead at in*! steam preparing for the 1943 cartipaign. Downs reveals that the lates* star to come to terms with the CloAvns is Roosevelt “Macpn” Davis, the veteran right-hander, who is easily one of the most capable flingers in Race baSi?- ball. “Roosey” pitched three of the Clowns victories when thty won the Denver national tourna ment in 1941 and was picked on the All-A1(iieriean ihonorary squad. The year before he’d twirled the Chicago Palmev House to three triumphs in the Wichita national sempiro tour ney.

Though each side scored ex actly 17 goals apiece, the Pan thers took ^vantage of exces sive fouling by the over anxious Pirates and picked up 20 points on free throws.

BY SHOBTY DAVIS It will take a modern Solomon to unravel the present entanglod status of the CIAA basketball chamninnshin ms it atnnela this writing. With N. C. College, Union, Howard and Johnson C. Smith all losing three gantes each, this corner would like to krfow who is now in the lead. Last Saturdaj' night the Eag les took Johnson C, Smith inti camp by onesided score of 43 to 28, and followed it up Mon day night in Charlotte withojjt two of their stellar players, All- American Johnny Brown anJ Janies Hardy, who were at Fort Bragg for examination prior to being inducted into the army, and snatched a 31 to 27 decision from the Bulls to make it two straight. As ,it^ now stands the Eagles, like the other three contenders for the 1943 championship, have lost only three games this ea- son, but have played more con ference games than either Smith, Union or Howard. Tho Dickerson system may give the locals the edge on the champion ship hold.
