N. C. Industrial baseball league standings, keeping a slim lead on the visitors through out the game in spite of being out hit and the Beacons making less miscues in the field. Lawrence Crocker made his de but on the Hazelwood mound with an exhibition of control and pitch ing form that proves him a valu able addition to the team. Neither Crocker nor his opposite number, Woodrow Patten, were able to keep down the hits, and the deciding margin in the game was i the superior outfield work bv Haz-! elwood.

Although Beacon got their first two men up on base in the first in ning, some fancy field playing bv Hazelwood including a double play nipped off the threat, and the next inning Milner started a three-run attack with a single. Both teams kept up the pressure, and Beacon tied the score In their half of the fifth, but Hazelwood re gained the lead when Smith sin gled and Blalock had one of his long drives land safely in the out field for a triple, to score Smith. Blalock scored on an outfield drive and Milner, who walked to first, tallied on Troutman's single for enough margin to ice the game. BOX SCORE Beacon Ab R H Po A E Waldroup, cf ... 5 3 5 4 0 0 W.

Burrell's Waynesville-Haz elwood All Stars, 8-3 victors last week over Brevard, return to the Brevard high school field WedneS' day night to face their second foe in Smoky Mountain softball league play Ecusta. The game originally was sched uled to be played here, but Man ager Jack Alexander of Ecusta agreed to play it at his home field so there would be no conflict with the Waynesville high school grad uation program. Since Brevard also will be play ing at home, the Waynesville- Ecusta title will be the second game of a doubleheader. The pro gram will start early, announces Mr. Alexander and each game will be for seven innings, with the sec ond game slated to start at 9 o'clock. Last week the All Stars turned in the stickwork for five runs the first inning for a lead that Bre vard was unable to overtake. Sin gleton's home run was the stand out hit of the game, and Troutman and Milner marked up extra-base hits for the winners, while Teague got a triple, Loftis and McCauley doubles for Brevard.

ROCKFISH HATCHERY HAS BUSY SEASON While fishermen are having a big time with the famed rockfish (striped bass) run in the Roanoke river, the Weldon fish hatchery, operated cooperatively by the di vision of game and inland fisheries and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, is having a fine season in its task of trying to see to it that fishing in future seasons also will be good. The Weldon hatchery, with the help of fishermen themselves, pro vides rockfish fry for release in the Roanoke and other waters. Sports men cooperate by bringing in "ripe" female stripers. The fe- male fish is stripped by the hatch ery attendant and fertilized by milt from male fish which also are tak en by fishermen. Held in glass jars through which water is kept running continuously, the eggs hatch in about two days. The fry can be held at the hatchery only a few days, and then they are re leased in streams. Half of the fry obtained at the hatchery are re turned to the Roanoke and the oth er half are released in other wa ters by the division and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Up to May 5, the hatchery had collected 5,695,000 eggs this season, which is good testimonial to coop erating fishermen. Releases up to May 2 totalled 796,000 fry. 60 VIOLATORS NABBED BY STATE'S PROTECTORS Violations of the State's fish and game laws took a sharp jump in April as the arrival of warm weath er brought fishermen out in throngs. Protectors of the N. C. Division of Game and Inland Fish eries turned in a total of 600 cases last month, as compared with 193 for the previous month and 414 for April of last year. Violators last month paid out $4,033 in fines and S3.694.95 in court costs. An outbreak of dynamiting of fish featured April's docket. A dozen persons were convicted on this charge, and penalties handed out ranged up to a six-month road term for a Robeson County man brought In by Protectors H. R. Mc Lean of Raeford, W. E. McCon naughey of Red Springs, and Oscar Chadwick of Fayetteville. Protector waiter F. Edmisten of Boone alone arrested seven dynamiters, who paid out $100 in fines and $26 in costs each. In addition to the cases closed out. others are under iavest- igation. with a number of defend ants awaiting tria) in- superior courts.
