88 Boys Trying Out for 28
Vacancies in Little League
Eighty-eight boys are trying out"
far the ? opening* in the More
head City Little League baseball
program. Publicity chairmaa Floyd
Chadwick says all tbe boys have
looked good ia practice and It will
ha a hard job for the manager! to
pick the 28 boys who will take the
places of players who agad out of
tbe program last year.
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.
Mr. Chadwick says, "We hope
the boys who do not get picked
will not be diseouraged. Most of
the boys who do not make a team
this year will still have a couple of
years eligibility left and can try
out again next year,
"The league is limited to the
number who can play in the pro
gram. We do not have the facilities
nor the manpower to field more
than a four-team league."
The league schedule has been
completed and play will begin May
28. A double header will be played
on opening day. The Small Frys
will meet the Idle Hour in the
?pener and the Elks aad Moos* will
tangle in the second game.
Mr. Chadwick reminds all boys
who played last year to turn in
their registration cards to Dr.
Fahy at the practice sessions next
week. Practice will be conducted
on the following schedule: Tues
day ? boys 8 and 9 years old;
Wednesday ? boys 10 years old;
and Thursday ? boys 11 and 12

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.
Sam Ballon's Pal, a latecomer
last fall, has been filed up with
a flying bridge and is docked
alongside Copt. Bill's.
Bunny Two is due to arrive from
Cannons' this week. Ho-Hum has
recently arrived at the Sinclair
docks from Norfolk and Alfred
Pittman's Lois Nancy is just back
from the yard with a new look.
On 4k e causeway, two new cot
tages have been built at B. J.
White's; a new seawall is up at
L. T. Smith's art a redecorating
job is finished at Ityggs' cafe. At
the yacht basin an a number of
new pUlngs, some finger piers
extended and the T-head length
ened (and filled up the first
night), u"
Personnel: Barry West and Bill
Finch gone from the Triple-Ess
and Sportsman Piers, but still in
town; their replacements, M. L.
Snipes and Raymond Duke. Jerry
Schumacher gone from 411 Evans
?our loss, Charlotte's gain.
Personnel needed (with apolo
gies to the want-ad department
of THE NEWS-TIMES): a skip
per for Ho-Him at the Sinclair
docks, and lor Henry Holt's and
Earl Ryggs' inshore boats on the
causeway; an urgent need for
anna Fabulous Fishermen.
Fishing? Oh yes, fishing. Sea
mullet are about to carry away
the ocean piers; Sgt. E. C. Blum
Iwrg ot Cherry Point made the
largest single catch we know of?

Fishing from the Inshore piers
-Bunch's. Fleming's. Mom aad
Pop's ? came to life over the
weekend, with sea mullet at the
top of the list. Capt. OUis Re
ported a fine catch of gray trout
and sea mullet brought to his
market by fishermen near Ft.
Macon.
Sea mullet and gray trout have
moved into sound and river in
force; one pair of skiff fishermen
caught 90 sea mullet in a half -day;
another party of 4 had 192 fish,
t? of them gray trout.
Add another cash prixe ta the
list this week: Bump and Adam
at the yacht basin have offered
$2S.?(l for the first blllfish
brought in by a boat from the
yacht basin. 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. We
went down to witness this great
gasironomical event, found Percy
getting ready to leave town.

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.
