League Declares Morehead
City Was Guilty Party In
H. I.-Strails Forfeit
Officials of the Tidewater Lea
gue have stricken off the "forfeit"
victory which Morehead City
claimed Sunday over Harkers Island-Straits
and have awarded the
game to the Straits team, thus
making Swansboro the 1948 league
champions and knocking Morehead
City into second place by a half
game. The decision was made aft
er alleged irregularities preceding
tfie scheduled game were reported
to the league.
Representatives of seven of the
league's teams Jacksonville was
absent met Wednesday evening
in Beaufort with league secretary
Ralph Eudy, who announced the
circuit's decision, presiding.
Morehead City had announced
Saturday night, through Manager
Jack Gardner, that it was with
drawing from league play follow
ing several decisions made at a
meeting in Morehead City which
affected its standing in the league.
At the time, Marshallbcrg made
a similar announcement.
Upon reconsidering, however.
Marshallbcrg re-entered and Gard
ner, speaking for the Morehead
club, said that Morehead City
would take no definite action un
til Wednesday night, meaning that
Morehead was still in the league
until further notice.
Only seven ball players showed
up in Morehead for the Harkers
Island-Straits team on Sunday
and Morehoad claimed a forfeit
victory. However, Eudy said in
the meeting that he had learned
that an announcement had been
made over the radio that the ball
game had been called off.
He furthermore learned that an
official from the Morehead club
phoned Harkers Island Sunday to
notify the team that there would
be no game that day. All the play
ers did not get the message, but
some of them did.
Enough players were confused
by both the radio announcement
nnd the nhone call to prevent
Harkers Island from fielding a ball I
team that day, so that Morehead
City was held responsible for Har
kers Island's not showing up, al
though the radio station was found
not to be at fault in the incident.
Eudy stated that after he had
gathered all the information he
could about the happenings, he
contacted Ray Goodman, president
of the Coastal Plain League, and
D. H. Lashley, Tidewater League
president, for advice, and both a-

should De awaraea a iorieu vp j

When the decision was announc
ed, Morehead City Manager Gard
ner, in contrast to Saturday night's
wild affair, declared, "If that's the
decision of the league, I'm satis
fied I'm perfectly satisfied."

Ministry Aims to Slop
Grain Price Racketeering
WARSAW, Poland (AP) -Poland's
ministry of agriculture is
out to stop acketeering in grain
prices. The country has a bumper
crop this year which may triple the
I 4.000,000 tons of wheat, rye and
barley produced in 1947.
The ministry, recognizing that
peasants may go in for hiking
prices or fall into the hands of spe
culators, announced "all racketeer
ing in grain will be prosecuted and
most severely punished." A citi
zen's militia of about 100,000 men
and a special commission to fight
abuses and speculation have been
instructed to keep a close check
on the sale prices of all grains. If
the prices are higher than the gov
ernment has fixed, the seller faces
a stiff fine and jail sentence.

Ihe other two weighing 2 pounds
each.
The big fellow probably couldn't
have been taken on any kipd of
hook and line but he was a dead

end of a 12 foot pole.
