JIMMI£ BttEM, erstwhile
inftmi^er the Richmond Elks
(Durham Black Sox) has given
HP the team and returned home
to stay. As you know, Rhem took
to Richmond severaD of Durham’i
best baseball players and com
bined them with others there
with the hope of forming a reaJly
stronl: club thti. would take the
Virginia-Carolina League right In
stride.
But it turns out that the going
was a' bit bumpier than expected
so most of the Durham boys are
right back here where they start
ed from. They are somewhdt dis^
heartened over ths fact that at
this point in the season they
were next door to the cellaH- in
the league and, what is mftr'e.
they haven’t made any real
money all season. Debnam (nd
L. Barbee are the only Durham
fellows who lire still in Rleh«
mond.
WILL DURHAM HAVE A
REAL STAR?
It seems that Durham is slated
to have a real tennis statr in not
n>any season. The person th«t
seenw to hkVf >nQ8t unusual
pat^ral ability and who h(.t pro
gressed most on the courts dur*
ing the past twa ypars js Miss
Floric# Holmes, 4 consistent
honor stuednt #t N, C. Ccjlleye,
In th« r«cent tourlmment held
on the Algonqfuin courts she was
as she is, has her own opinions
about the serious things of life
and world affairs. She will gra
duate from North Ct.f olina
College at the end of her third
year and will enter one of the
country’s leading medical schools
in preparation to becoming one
of the country’s few female
child specialists.
Watch the columns of the
CAROLINA TIME^ for a special
feature story about this young
lady.
Vhe BUCCANEIERiS are still
leading the softiMtU league I>ut
they art no longer rated at 1000
per cent. The Walltown boys
are responsible for this throu/h
their thrilling upset of the Bucs
last week. Thts was their first
defetit out of 19 games played
to date,
AT N. C. STATE, all that
Coach Burghardt has tg do is

During the past week the
Sunspot girls softball team has
remtiined in the winning col
umns with decisive and almost
unbelievable vid^'ies over two
strong teams. The first victory
of the week came on Saturday,
August 3. when they went to
Greensboro arid trounced t h ®
YWCA girls 3'l-(2. In this gs^e
Browrn was outstandirtg with a
home run while Lyde and Ruffin
hit 2 base hits.
Returning home Wednesday
August 7, the Sunspots of Lyon
f*ark refused to allow Wall
town a single run and sent their
own score up to 17.
Saturday the Sunspots will
rieet the Morgan Tea Room
teain at the Chavis park in
Raleigh. This game will be a
high spot in the entertainment
program for Durhamites who
are planning to join Iny of the
three picnics leaving h«re on
th#t day.
In anwsering to the protests
which Negro citizens had made
to the Charlotte Park and Re
creation commission for its fail
ure to provide recreational
f«cilities for Negroes after the
unsanitary Fairview Park swim
ming “hole” wt« condemned by
state 'Tiealth officials, members
of the commission outlined to
race re representatives, Wed
nesday night, plans for develop
ing the park info ® modem re-
creNitional center.
Although nothing definite was
said about when the various
phages of the long range pro
gram would ~Begin, plans were
iiada for the construction off ^
gymnasium and auditorium, im
provement* to the condemned
swimming pool, new tennis
courts, a baseball diamond and
picnic grounds. It w#3 the re
quest of the Negro committee
that all the available money be
used to sponsor a WPA project
for building the auditorium and
gymnasium. Some of the bot,t. d
members, however, were of the
opinion that it would better to
make immediate repairs on ".no
swimming pool which was con
demned several months ago.
A capit^' outlay of $2500 has
been allocated for the Fairview
Park this year. It is probable
that this amount will be used in
the sponsoring of a WPA Pro
ject amounting to 110,00, the
amount necessary to remodel the
old filtration plant at the pool
into an auditorium and gym.
Remodeling of the pool M d
erection of a bath house would
cost almost as much.
The program as as outlined
Wednesday night came only
:>lfter Negroes Jammed the coun
cil chambi^r and argved that
the neglect on the part of the
board memibers caused the State
Health dep.rtinent to close the
pool. They asked for more
equitable distribution of park
funds.
