Another Fish Story, Bat This is a Good One Too Dr. N. Thomas Ennett, count health officer, has added another tale to the countless fish stories that have been directed to THE NEWS-TIMES sports desk in re cent weeks. And if you don't think that this is really a fish story, just read a bit farther: One afternoon recently, Dr. En nett was viewing the ruins of his burned lodge along the shore oi v ...(. Ti '" ' ! n iimiiii inim i ' iiimvii ii i ii i imiiMii immd The fish was undoubtedly the same one that Dr. Ennett saw plucked out of the sound. Books on birds state the nnrv at times plunges from a height cf 80 feet to get its prey, and that ilwavs, as he rises from the wa ter, he turns the fish in his talons so that the head of the fish points forward, thus reducing resistence in flyine. It is also common for the eagle, aflcr battling the osprey, to catch the fish before it hits the water or earth hclow. This time the eagle got gypped. At any rate, after having his prize appropriately photographed fcr the sake of prosterity, Dr. En nelt found that his mullet made right good ealing!

Suddenly, the hawk plunged from a heinht of SO to feet to the water and took a fish, bearing it off over the mainland. About a halt hour later, the doctor went to the residence ol his brother. A. I). Ennett. about three-quarters of a mile from the shore, where his brother present ed him with a one and a half pound mullet. ' His brother explained that he heard some screaming overhead and saw an osprey and a bald eagle in combat. In a few seconds he heard the sound of the fish as it fell to the ground in a nearby wood. 'Is We Is, or Is We Ain't In First Place?' Confused Swansboro Fans Inquire Hold it. Swanshnrn fans, it's fur from being of filial vet! The first report on Sunday's game between Marshallherg and Swansboro at Swansboro was that Marshallherg failed to turn up and Ihp game was forfeited to Swansboro, pl:uinf them in a first place tie' with More head '.'lty, whith lost its only encoun ter over the weekend. Now it is repnrirti tint Chapel Nelson, manager of Marshall berg, phoned Swansboro sevenil im,.t Siimhv and the only re port he got was that it was rain ing. He then disbanded the team and cancelled the bus char ter. Just prior to Mine time, Swansboro called Marshallherg to tell them the game was on, ami of course Nelson was unable to mnlv. Swansboro called it a forfeited game, but league pre siileni It Ii. I.ashliy, contacted at Raleigh, said the came would stand as a postponed game at least for the time being. Anyway, that's Nelson's side Beaufort gave Morehead City a whitewashing job Saturday when Stanley Johnson, 17-year-old pitch ing phenomenon from Chapel Hill, placed his wares on display at the Beaufort Ball Park to win, 3-0. Sun day's game at Morehead City was postponed because of wet grounds.

Back ot July 3. the last time the two teams played in Morehead of the story, nd Lashlcv will -turn to the county some time this week to investigate the circum stances and make a permanent decision. A LTHOllGII Itabe Ruth became the greatest home run hitter of all time he hit only one homer in 1914 'luring his first season in organized ball. He was loo busy pitch ing brilliant ball at the time to worr.v about hitting. Dividing his rookie season between Baltimore and Providence in the International League Ruth compiled 22 victories against nine defeats for a percentage of .709, also winning two games out of three for the Red Sox. Ruth returned to the Red Slix for five more seasons during which time he won 87 games, lost 44 and belted 49 four baggers. In 1915 Ruth helped the Sox win the American League pennant, tie pitched 18 victories and hit lour home runs. Although the Sox won the World Series from the Phillies that fall, Ruth's only time at bat in the classic resulted in an unsuccessful pinch hitting effort. During the next two campaigns Ruth won 23 games each season on the mound and played several games in right field. In 1910 the Itosox again won the American League pennant and World Scries. They repeated in 1J1K anil between these two years Ruth turned in re markable pitching leats. His record lor pitching 2:1 consecutive World Scries innings without allow ing a run (13 innings, 191ti, and Iti innings, HUH ) still stands It was while piaymg lor the Red Sox in l!UK that hd Barrow, manager ol the team, realized the potentialities in Ruth's bat. The Italic hit 11 home runs that season and Barrow encouraged Ruth to learn all he could about playing right lielil. Barrow is one man who knew Ruth belter than any body. He knows ol countless Babe Ruth incidents. There was the time in the I91K World Series against the Chicago Cubs when Ruth, who had .1 poor memory lor names and laces, was warned about Leslie Mann, a good hitter. , , Barrow advised Ruth to pilch close to Mann to back him a wav Ironi the plate. Ruth agreed with the strategy. In the hrst inning the Pitching Feat Par Excellence An Important Decision B.ihe let My at the batter's head. Ruth came back to the bench all smiles, expecting to be congratulated for following carefully laid plans. , "Why you silly-so-and-so," shouted Barrow. "That wasn't M ii'ii you dusted. That was Max Hack." I The following season Ruth saw artion in 130 games, most of them in the outlif Id, and cracked 29 homes runs lor a new major league record. Barrow refuses to accept the credit for Ruth's conver sion from a star pitcher to an outlirlder who made few mistakes. IN' 'You didn't have to teach him anything." Barrow once said. "He could do everything by instinct on the ball held "I called him in one day in 1919 and asked him what he would rather do pilch or play the outlirld. , "Well. I guess I can't do both.' replied Ruth. 'Well, thru. I'll pi. iv the outfield. " AT NfcWSI fcATl Rlr.S City, Johnson was making his league debut against Morehead and his pitching opponent was Jimmy Webb, Morehead mound ace, the same one who faced him this Sat urday. Johnson lost that decision to Webb. 51, although he allowed less hits. Johnson, in mowmg down the Morehead balling order Saturday, allowed hut three hits and struck out 12 men. lie had it when it counted and was able to knock oft the big men. 11c displayed a world of stuff and many of the batters were badlv fooled bv the antics of See BEAUFORT WINS Page 7 vf' s wtwr s t , . -fir Parker Captures Weekend Laurels In Comet Class Todd Parker moved closer on the leaders in point standings of I lie Morehead City Sailin".

If, for instance, you arc concerned with economy as most of us are you will find that Pontiac is virtually as inexpensive to own and operate as any full size car you could buy. If you like to tour and take Ioiir trips you will find that Pontiac is one of the easiest-riding, nicest-handling cars ever built. When you need to "put your best foot forward" go to a fashionable wedding or some other social event you will find that your Pontiac looks "right at home." -Wl" And if you have to make hard daily trips over rough country roads you will find that Pontiap can "take it" like the thoroughbred it is.
