Player agent Bill Fahy and all the managers have been keeping dose check on the players, hoping to make fair selections when the player auctloa comes off in tbe near future.

LEWIS MACHINE SHOP Glbk St Morehead City FabFisherman Tells Story Of Beginning of Season' By BOB SIMPSON Few people know what started the 1958 Ashing season, but here's the straight scoop: it was a long, hard winter, as anyone can, and will, tell you, but one nice day in February (we understand there was one) Capt. Johnny Guthrie decided to put a coat of paint on his boat Tommy Lulu to tide her over 'till spring. Immediately everyone else on the waterfront dug out the sand paper, paint and brushes and be gaa readying boats for the fish ing season. By the end of April all the boats were ready for the season? all, that Is, except Tam my Lulu. Thai's Capt. Johnny's story, and we believe him. Every season brings many changes, but this spring seems to be off to a better start, with every one expecting hig tilings. The list of improve meats is impressive: Mom & Pop's, with a new dining room and trailer park big enough to accommodate the trailers of 30 fishing and vacationing parties: the new Morehead ocean pier; the eBiargcment of Edgewater Lodge's marina to take larger, deeper draft boats; Fleming's restaurant redeoorated with the Carolina Queen tied alongside. A new hradboat is in the of fing. Capt. Charlie Smith is out of "retirement" with another boat at the foot of Sixth Street. Capt. Joe Rose's Edna is relo cated just west of the Sanitary.

And Tom Patter Is still accepting pledges to the blue marlin cash prise. Earlier in the season, before many of the fish had got the word, Percy Howland made a bet with Shorty Smith that he would eat any fish Shorty brought in that day, fur, feathers and all.

Learn Where Strike Zone Is, Advises Jim Gilliam By JIM GILLIAM in.; L ll [ Learning the >trike zone is one of the first things a young player should work on. After that, Know ing the pitcher helps. By that I mean a hitter should watch the opposing pitcher every chancc he gets. A hitter soon will learn that pitcher's best pitch. You've got to know what a pitcher will throw you when he gets in trouble, and what he will throw when you're in trouble. I can't overpower the ball like Duke Snider, Roy Campanella. Gil Htfdges and Willie Mays. They're all big fellows when it comes to hitting. I have to settle for singles. I can't always pull the ball to the fence so I've got te go to left field when I bat lefthanded. I just try to hit the ball where it's pitched. I think that's the thing to do unless you're a big fellow and can slug the ball. Richie Ashburn of the Phillies led the National League in hitting two years ago just by hitting the ball where it was pitched. I (eel fortunate in that t hit .300 last year to lead the Dodgers in hitting. I hit more left-handed be cause we seldom face left-handed pitchers. If we faced left-handers I would get more chances to bat right-handed. My natural power is right-handed. I have pretty good speed and I bunt a lot when I bat against southpaws. Batting left - handed gives me a big jump because I'm closer to first base. And bunting helps if you are in a slump. When you can't buy a base hit a bunt will pick you up and help your confidence. The first two years I played pro ball (1946-47) I was all right-haod ed. George Scales, who managed the Baltimore Elite Giants, saw I was weak as a batter so be asked me to try hitting left-handed. At first it was a lot of trouble batting left-handed, but with Scales' help I began to get the knack of be coming a switch bitter. It's a big advantage in baseball. You get to play all the time.
