Henderson Will Surrender Piedmont Franchise
Three Players
Are Sold To
Durham Club
Efforts To Secure Backing
F#r Gamecocks From
Major League Clubs
Fail
VlrnimM will live uo Its tran
rfrfse lln *ttle Piedmont
when the director* of the local
meet In Durham on February 11.
Sanies W. Jenkins, president of
the Gamecocks announced here
tilts morning. The directors of the
etob have made all possible ef
forts to secure hacking for the
chib here and since these efforts
have proved futile, they have de
cided that surrendering the fran
chise will be the best possible
step for the city under the circuni
stances.
The directors had been instructed
at a meeting of stockholders and in
terested fans recently, to make the
best possible disposition of the fran
chise if they found that it was im
possible to beep the club here. As a
result of this the Gamecocks have
transferred Cal Clark. outfielder,
Rube Wilson, and Steve Ellis,
pitchers .to the Durham club, for the
coming season, thereby securing some
of the needed funds to pay off sal
aries of some of the players from last
year.
When the meeting of the baseball
fans was held here about two weeks
ago. the directors had before them
a possible offer from a well known
Figure in baseball, who promised to
make an effort to Interest a major
league club In helping him to operate
the Gamecocks for the. coming sea
son. This deal failed and the directors
were forced to dispose of the fran
chise and players to the best possible
advantage of all parties concerned.
The baseball team had been operat
ed In Henderson for three years a a
civic proposition with a large num
ber of the residents of the city con
tributing to finance the operations.,
In 1930 the club came out of the lea
gue season in first place, but in a
play-off with Durham they lost and
the honors for the year were sur
rendered. Last year they finished near
the bottom as they did in the first
year in the league in 1929.
While the directors of the club were
forced to surrender the franchise for
the coming season, they are hoping
that it will be possible for the city to
•gain enter organized baseball at a
later date.

new Shepard edition of the Carolina
basketball team plays ai V. P. I. Fri
day night in the first of three Confer
ence games of a tour which will carry
the Tar Heels through Virginia and

big test for Carolina’s chances at the
Southern Tournament.

V. P. I. But Saturday night they will
play their first game of the year with
the Southern Conference champions
at Maryland, and Monday night they
will meet Virginia.
The White Phantoms held Mary
land to two-point margins twice last
yoar. onoe at College Park and again
at Atlanta. This year the Tar Heels
are intent on revenge, and are carry
ing with .them to Maryland a slate
that has but one blemish, a 19-18 loss
to N. C. State.
Coach Shepard is trusting that the
boys will play ball like they played
against Duke, when they beeut the
Blue Devils 37-20 after the Blue Devils
had taken State into camp by ten !
points.
Ten players are making the trip.
There are the regulars. Vergil Weath
ers and Wifbur Hines, forwards; Paul
Edwards, center, and Captain Tom
Alexander and Dave McCachren,
guards. And there are five substitu

FIGHTERS MATE

South Carolina Boxing Team
Comes To Raleigh For
Matches Saturday
Raleigh, Feb. 4 —The boxing match
with South Carolina Saturday night
.n the Frank Thompson gymnasium
will be the third for N. C. State's var
sity ringsters this winter. Their other
two fights were: a 6-1 victory over
V. P. I. and a 5-2 loss to Duke.
State was defeated 4-3 by South
Carolina at Columbia last winter.
One or two changes are expected in
State’s heavier weights Saturday.. Al
vin Dickens, a sophomore, is pract.-
cally assured of the 160 pound berth
in place of Josiah Hull who may be
pushed up to the 175 pound class, forc
ing Red Espey to handle the unlim
ited division. Charlie Cabb, regular
heavyweight ighter, is ill with a cold
and will not be ready. James Hall,
however is the most logical unlimit
ed choice. He was used against Duke
and has been actively engaged with
the gloves this week. Should Hall be
given the heavywedgl*
Espey will fight in the 175 class and
Hall-will watch the fights from the
bench.
Lieutenant C. H. Elmes, coach, is
not expected to make any changes in
the lighter weights, the line-up of
Karlg. 115; McGhee, 125; Rhyne, 135
and Garner, 145, standing.
