Morning Watch I WITH Edward Sachs 1 Governor Cherry seems to have stepped right into the middle of the current North Carolina Wildlife Fed eration-Division of Game and Inland Fisheries dispute L sucker he, the governor tried to step right out again, and it is a matter of speculation whether he made it. _ It happened Monday evening. The AP in a story from Raleigh .fed the governor as telling the State Board of Conservation Sit he was in opposition to segregation of the Division of Game a inland Fisheries from the department—the first plank in the Wildlife Federation platform._ Continuing, the AP quoted the governor as saying that "segregation is not the answer but cooperation will bring results.” The story was given to the Star sports section about 7:15 p m. _ At 9:45 the AP carried a story saying that the governor “ not consider his speech ... put him on record as opposing Reparation of the division.”^_ w 8 Two other quotes from the later story. “I wasn’t discussing that phase of separation,” he (Cherry) said. “I merely pointed out to the board that segregation is not the answer but that co operation will bring results.” "I’m trying to keep harmony,” he (Cherry) observed. "I have my constituents to think of.” HOWEVER several state papers still carried the first story. For H instance the Greensboro Daily News 'over an account of the affair by a staff-writer displayed this headline: Governor Opposes Changes In Conservation Department." Their story was the same as the AP’s containing direct quotes from the governor’s speech in which the chief executive did go on record, according to the News, as opposing the Wildlife Fed eration’s program of separation of the two departments controlling wildlife affairs in North Carolina. In Raleigh, the News and Observer of that city reported: "Governor Cherry wasn't at all pleased when reports that he was opposing the separation,” and so on. The same paper in covering the speech carried much the same material that other state papers, fed by the AP, did. This corner has an interest in the affair because a dele gation of Wilmington members of the federation headed by Roger Hewlett and Louis E. Keith, officer of the New Hanover branch of the federation, will go to Greensboro to attend the first annual meeting of the federation. The federation will probably go on record asking for clarification of the governor's remarks. Because George Stirnweiss of the Yankees is a former North Carolina grid great, his career has been followed with more than passing interest by local and state fans. It was one of those fans who requested that we print Stirnweiss’ and Joe Gordon’s batting ana fielding averages since the two broke into the major leagues. Gordon played with the Yankees in 1938 and batted .255 and fielded .960 in his first season. The next year his marks were .284 and .967. The next, .281 and .975, .276 and .964, .322 and .966 and before entering the service, .249 and .969. George, who may have to battle Gordon for an infield spot first reported to the Yankees In 1943. His batting and fielding averages from then on: .219 and .942; .319 and .982 and .309 and .970. _ revils, White Phantoms Play Loop Foes Tonight By The Associated Press Waging a hot race for top South n Conference honors that may it be decided until their Feb. 16 eeting at Durham, the Univer ty of North Carolina and Duke igers will seek to fortify their isitions in the chase with games i their home courts tonight.

DeGroot coached the Redskins to the National Lea gue’s eastern division champion ship last season but quit the Wash ington club last week. O’Rourke, a former Boston Col lege star, played with the Bears in 1942 before entering the armed, forces.

Mc Keldin and the Baltimore Interna tional league baseball club. The mayor admitted today that it’s the park board’s case but add ed “now that I’m in it I’ll be the judge.” The Mayor had been in it since Saturday when he charged the Orioles were bluffing when they threatened to move to another city. He said the ball club had tried to “stampede” the city into accept ing “unfair” rental terms for the municipal stadium. Shortly after McKeldin made his disapproval public, he received a telephone call from Tommy, man ager of the Orioles, who violently denied the mayor’s charges. Last year the club, which has played in the city bowl since Oriole park burned down in July, 1944, paid the city 12 1-2 per cent of the gate and paid for converting the city stadium for baseball and then shifting back for football in the fall. This year the city wants 15 per cent of admissions. President George Reed said the Orioles want to- play in Baltimore but they won’t agree to unfair terms. He saicf several of his men have been out of town lining up possible loca tions in the event the city won’t come to terms.

Washington High Meets Wildcats Here Tonight * A. New Hanover High’s Wildcats will attempt to make it two in a row over the Washington High school Presidents when the two quints meet tonight at the NHHS gymnasium. In their last meeting, Toddy Fennell dropped seven free throws and three baskets to pace the local hardwooders to a 30 to 14 win over the Washington crew. Since then the Cats have stamped themselves as one of the leading teams in the state, climaxing their season so far with a rousing 63 to 23 defeat of a touted Raleigh Cap quint last Friday. The win gave the Cats continued possession of the first place spot in the Eastern conference along with Durham. It also swung the state high school basketball spot light to the Brodgen crew as the team to beat for conference laurels. While the Cats impressed local followers with their drive and poise in the meeting with Raleigh, seve ral rough spots in both offense and defense are attracting the attention of Coach Leon Brodgen and his assistant Tom Davis. Lack of height continues to be the main bugaboo of the Cats. W. A. Brown, Louis Collie, Toddy Fen nell and Billy Lee are all on the bantam side. However, all com pensate by displaying better than average speed. The Washington crew which will meet the Hanover quint- tonight is paced by forward Phelps and a rangy center Totts. Phelps sparked the Presidents in the last meeting of the two teams with four baskets while Totts held McKoy and Hyatt, Kress Store Takes ‘Y’ Older Boys League Tilt Playing in the YMCA Older Boys league yesterday, Kress Store, led by Hansley’s 12 points, defeated the Kingoff Jewelers 26 to 19.
