EVEN THOUGH he is slowl;
but surely nearing the age where
all boxera start their backtraeK,
Henry ‘Haplc’ Armstrong is still
the same buzz'saw fighter he was
when his head was adorned by 3
crown. Hank has been in th'>
slugfeat field for a long time and
has never bad a rundown until
be became the must famous box.ev
iu the field. When be found his
dume clear it, he reing Hu d
that graced it, he retired for a
while ayd went into business,
but the call of the ring was too
great, and Henry laid aside his
buaiuess wraps to dbn his box
ing togs onoe more and see jtho
turn of fortune in the squared
circle. Since the start of bis
comeback career, Hank has made
24 stands and has been the vic
tor in the majority of them
latest -viatory the Bu^ssaw
bung up was that against W-illio
Joyce last Saturday in Holly
wood. Hank stayed with Joyce
the entire ten rounds and hand
ed him a sbellaeking ’twill not
bo easy to forget. At present, he
is in line for another chance to
tnke back the lightweight crowa
he lost to Fritizie Zivic. Othe/
contenders for a sbot at th>
crown includes Beau Jack, froii
whose dome defense worker Boli
Montgomery knocked the crowii
a few months ago. If Futhei'
Time doesn’t slow down Henr^
in the nert year, .ye scribe gives
odds that he will have regained
one of his crowns 2-1
DDEINQ THE present , th
hometown baseball ;,eam, tho
Durham Red Caps, have turnod
iu 15 victories in 16 starts, fov
a percentage far above the min
imum. Under the direction of
Jlooscvelt Ashford, the Red
Capa have become one of th3
most feared teams in the semi-
pro-division for this vicinity.
One of the most notfble facts
oonKerning the Red is that
every man who is on the squal
has another job, and makes base
ball his past-time. Another not
able faot about the Caps is the
ability to turn in a victory. ia
Durham at three and hang up
another in a neighboring city a',
neven. It takes a lot of stamina
to win one game *then tmvel
thirty or more miles in th?
crowdcd conveyance the Caps
are forced to use because ■»?
ODT laws and then hang up an-
/othter tally. The Caps have on
their d*juid most of th(> men
who were once featured with the
Rlapk Sox, the most faniou.s
tram Durham has ever produc
ed and many of the Lucky Strike
teamsters. Local fans will
piohnbly remember the days
when the Black Sox had as a
fiyiture of their squad, Bu 1
Harboe, who has played with t!h‘
Latin Anierican top-flight nino.‘?
and Roy Debnam, who only this
season, (i^ter receiving an hon
orable discharge from the army
received a bid to join the Nt;-
wark Eagle lineup. The greatest
lineup ever to be seen as a local
team in Durham included:
Roosevelt Ashford behind th?
plate, Bud Barbee in the bor,
.John Rice at first, J'reeland .se
cond, Fathead, Prin-e, third,
Timmy Rhem, short and othoi-
stars as Roy Debnam, ^!raddock
Fred Fairly, James Knuckles,
Diris Brown, Lam Barbee, and
many other near-greats who
were produced right here in the
Friendly City of Industry and
Fjduc^ation. The line np of th-*
Red Caps now is sparked by the
pi'esenco of Big Train Co/,art
fastball ace who was formerl,.’
li.qted in the lineup of the Ne
wark Engles. Between Co/.ar;
and Big Jim Paige, the Red
Caps have built up a pitching
staff that is second to none ui
this vicinity. If thei-e was a lea
gue formed in this vicinity and
tlte Red Capa wwe listed on its
rosters. Ye Scribe would picli
them to walk off with th:'
honors. ' •* *

Durham’s semi-pro Red Caps
made an excellent showing be^
fore the Atlanta Black Crackers,
top-flight pro team in a gam^
played before a small group ot
baseball fanatics in the Durham
Athletic Park on Monday Nite,
July 27. In the tilt, which
the first the Caps have had with
pro cont^ders this season, the
Red Cflps sparked by the pitch
ing Big Jim Page held the visi
tors to 7—battered hits, while
the locals hit , nly five times on
the pitching of Bunn, the pill -

Five Of Bifmingham Barons Are
Voted Places In East-West Game
By Entuusiastic Supporters
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.
entire country seems to be in ac
cord on the su&ject of the Bir
mingham Black Barons, first
half winners in the Negro
Aimsrican League. If further
proof were needed, a look at th*
voting on players for the East-
West classic should be suffici
ent.
No fewer than five of the
Birmingham stars were voted
places on the West squad, i»nd
that doesn’t include Manager
W. 8. elch, who was named one
of the coaches. Last year ha
piloted the West team.
