Coach Gannon Talbert said yes terday that Walter Thomas, with a record of 1-0, will start on the rub ber for the Eagles. He also an nounced the probable starting line up. Norman Larkee will start at sec ond with Brad Mcintosh at short. Jerry Pittman will be at third, and Jerry Conner will start at first. Bobby Willis will be behind the plate. Jimmy Willis will start at center with either Jerry Parker or Gene Smith at left and Kemp Wickizer in right. Jones Central nipped the Eagles after a two-game winning streak last year, in the beginning of the season. Coach Talbert hopes to hurdle Jones Central before taking on Smyrna Tuesday. Smyrna Gets Forfeit Win The baseball tilt between Smyr na and Atlantic, scheduled for this afternoon at Atlantic, has been called off, with Atlantic forfeiting to Smyrna. No reason was given for cancelling the game. Smyrna's next game will be with Morehead City Tuesday on the Smyrna field. Coach Stewart Daniels has eight holdovers from last year's team which won seven tilts \and lost three. Heading the list is ace twirler Roy Styron. Also back from last year is Bruce Babbitt, Otis Willis, Crawford Pickett, Osborne Davis, Guion Simpson, Elbert Mears, Walker Gillikin, and Jimmy Golden. Coach Daniels will have to re vamp his mound staff, building it around Styron. As for the infield and outfield, he has most of his mainstays returning. Thirty boys answered the first call to practice which was narrow ed down to 15 by this week, Coach Daniels said. There are six bachelors on the Detroit Lion football squad ? Jim Doran, Joe Schmidt, Harley Sewell, Dick Stanfel, Carl Karilivacz and Gene Gedman. Jerry Schumachtr Phones Can be Tricky ; Which End is Which? Bill Skarren made a very Import ant phone call from the golf shop the other day. The convenation went something like this, "You go get one, for heavens sake talk loud er." Now we don't know what the "Go get one" meant though we can guess. It wasa't untU after Bill had said four or five time*.

While this column is not intend ed to.be a Hollywood review, it seems in passing no more than fit ting to say a few words about the movie, The Glenn Miller Story. Now as we all know Hollywood and Its citizens (both of which I have hid much personal experience) are cap able of producing both fine and more often extremely bad movies and other devices to attract atten tion. However, in the Glenn Miller Story I believe that Hollywood has produced ope of the finest movies of my lifetime. Real, heartbreak ing, and true as we all know the story. Do you remember during the war listening to the BBC broad cast when you could hear the air raid sirena above the muaic and whea the announcer would say, "We are sorry, but due to condi tions beyond our control we now turn you over to your local studio?" With peace over most of the world today, and with the world about to awaken with the ever wonderful spring, I think we should all go to church and count our blessings. MOUNTAIN RIDGE STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY [ S*>35 .... W?M-? J2~ Ntt* County Baseball League Members Begin Practice By SHELLY SMOYER Sports Editor With the advent of warmer weather, members of the Carteret County Baseball League have be gun to work out with county high school teams, looking forward to the start of the league season. Teams practicing with high school nines are Beaufort, Salter Path and Morehead City. It is said that a meeting of the league will be called shortly to make plans for the coming season and draw up the by-laWS' And constitution. League president is Dick Lockey, Newport. The Wildwood entry has been reconditioning its field and reports say it is in fine shape. On the schoolboy side, most of the schools have started their sea sons. Morehead City and Atlantic have already met, Smyrna swings into action today, leaving Beaufort and Newport yet to get into action. Newport is having scheduling difficulties and Beaufort had to de lay scheduling until the State Class A tourney was finished. Every time the Sea Dogs took to the leourt at Aberdeen there were Beaufort fans in the crowd pulling for the boys to win. Approximate ly 20 were on hand for Saturday's tilt. About 200 saw the afternoon games. Wiley Taylor Jr. says some of the Sea Dogs played a little golf Saturday morning with General George C. Marshall. The team stayed in Aberdeen during the tourney. Another honor came to Beaufort when Gehvmann Holland, 6-1 for ward, was named to the All-Tour ney second team. He won the dis tinction by his fine defensive work on rebounds and posting 70 points during the tourney. Beaufort showed why they were District Two Champions when they recovered from a stinging defeat, delivered by Odell in the opening round, to grab fifth place in the tourney. The National Association of Bas ketball Coaches rules committee this week gave its okay to a pro posal changing the one-and-one free throw rule. The new rule says that the automatic two free throws in the last three minutes of play will be eliminated. This means that foul shots will remain the same all during the game. The new rule now reads the player will be given a second or bonus shot if the first one is made. If the first shot is missed the ball will remain in play. The old rule gave the player a second shot if the first one was missed. The new rule does not apply to a player being fouled in the act of shooting. The player will still have two shots coming. To us this new rule stresses good shooting from the charity line; in other words a sort of skill test, if you make one you get another shot. It might be that since this rule has been adopted, players will have a real incentive to improve their accuracy from the charity line. It surely will pay. Governor W. B. Umstead has set aside this week as National Wild life Week in North Carolina. Theme this year is solving the water pollution problem. Governor Umstead pointed out in his procla mation that care of our natural re sources should be of the utmost importance to the sportsman. Although we in Carteret County are not troubled by stream pollu tion, many of the other counties are losing vast numbers of fish through the dumping of waste ma terial in streams and rivers. Here in Carteret County we can aid in protecting our game by see ing that adequate cover and feed are supplied to keep our stock of quail, cottontails, and squirrels at the proper level for good huntipg by conserving our natural re sources. Victory Smiles Gehrmann Holland and Murray Pittman riaih victory anile* in the Aberdeen gym after downing Stanley M-S2 to enter the consola tion finals. Holland connected for 29 point*, a new indlvldnal record, in the came. Plttmnn's excellent floor game helped the Sea Dogs rally in the final minutes to nudge Stanley. Always Keep* Spare Handy Alton, 111. (AP) ? Anthony McClintock recently broke a leg while bowling. It didn't bother him much. He had a friend ruah him home where he picked up a spare. Then he returned and fin ished his match. McClintock lost his right leg in World War II. "I always keep a spare artificial leg around home just in caae of trouble," he says. Announcement I with to thank my many friends for their kindneu and consideration dur ing my recent illneu. I am recovering rapidly and have been advised by my doctor that my ill ness is of a temporary nature and that I may expect to be out within the com ing week.

N Pro Golfers Improve Game San Antonio, Tex. (AP) ? Back in 1928 Bill Mehlhorn won the Texas Open golf tomament with 297. ( Bill wouldn't have been seventy fifth in the Open this year with such a score. Consider Dave Douglas, a top notch golfer. Douglas shot 273 ? 11 under par for 72 holes ? and didn't even finish in the money. It re quired 272 to win $110 ? the last place prize. Chandler Harper won the tourna ment with 259. Ted Kroll (hot ? flat 60 for 18 holes. Hii other rounds were 06-73-?9. Yet his 268 wound up in a tie for eighth place and he won $440. What's the reason for such scor ing on the same course? Ed Furgol, although he didn't finish in the money here, says: "Players are getting better, courses are better, equipment is better." But Furgol, a veteran of 10 tour nament tours, has the key to the gains made by the players this year? why there are so many more Weather Cancels Two Queen Street Ball Games The game between Queen Street High School and Wilmington, scheduled for Wednesday, < was rained out. Today's game, sched uled for the Queen Street field with Wilmington, was also post poned. The games will be replayed April 13 and 29. The Queen Street base ballers will swing into action next week. Team and date will be an nounced later, Bernie Jones, Queen Street sports reporter, said. Miami (AP) ? Most horse train ers are proud to have one stakes winner during a year. But Harry Trotsek is extra-proud. He developed nine different stakes winners dur ing 1953 and five of them were 9100,000 races. Trotsek handles tha Hasty House Farm horses who will race in Hialeah this winter. good players than ever before. This is acknowledged by all. "I never before saw so much rubber burned on the practice ground," said Furgol. "These fel lows practice from morning until night." The way these guys scoro on the winter tour these days, a golfer has to work all the time. Golf just doesn't appear to be fun anymore.
