Joe Bailey Pitches Rocket
Victory in Teen-Age Opener
By FRANK CASSIANO 4
Joe Bailey, backed by numerous
defensive gems on the part of his
keystone combination, pitched a
four hitter against the Lion Cubs,
as his Rotary Rocket teammates
jumped on Edward Sanderson for
seven hits and a to-1 victory in ihe
opening game of the Morehead
City Teenage League on Saturday
afternoon at the Little League
Park.
Both teams were hitting the ball
consistantly, but defensive play
seemed to be the order of the day
on both sides. Dumpy Guthrie at
shortstop for the Cubs went wide
to both his right and left to make
almost impossible plays all day
long, while Ernest Lewis at short
and Jimmy Wade at second did
the same thing on the Rocket side
of the fence.
In the top of the sixth, with one
out and the bags full of Lions,
Wade made a diving catch of a
blooper to second base, and be
fore Parham could scramble back
to the bag, Wade half crawled,
half dove to double him up and
end the inning getting Bailey out
of his biggest jam of the day.
Rotary got into the run column
in the second inning when the
Cubs committed three errors while
Sanderson was allowing two hits,
one each to Burbage and Bell, and
one walk. This added up to four
runs, and the Rockets were off.
In the top of the fifth, the Cubs
came back with one marker on
singles by Glover and Norman
Canfield sandwiched around two
walks and two strikeouts by Bai
ley.
The Rockets scored their fifth
and sixth runs in the bottom of
the fifth frame when Sledge opened
with his first hit of the game, ad
vanced to third on an attempted
double play which misfired on Er
nest Lewis and left men on first
and third. Sanderson then got
Wade on strikes, but Rennic
Awana slashed a line drive single
to the right center field wall scor
ing Sledge and moving Wade to
third.
Wade came home with the final
run of the day when Awana was
cut down at second on an attempt
ed double play on a grass cutter
to Guthrie at short. The relay to
first base was a hair too late.
The leading hitter of the day was
Bailey's battery-mate, Junior Bur
bage, who had two singles in his
three appearances at the plate.
In the pre-game ceremonies, the
invocation was given by the Rev.
Noah Brown of the Faith Free Will
Baptist Church. The Honorable
George W. Dill, Mayor of More
head City, threw out the first ball,
the umpire called "Play Ball!"
and the Morehead City Teen-Age
League was officially under way.
During the game, it was an
nounced that games would be
played Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays, starting time at 5:15 p.m.
Blues Lose First
After 10 straight victories, the
Morehead City Blues lost their first
game of the season Sunday after
noon. The Blues dropped a 6-0 de
cision to the New Bern Rookies at
New Bern.

Spot Run Improves ;
Blues Bite on Bottom
By BOB SIMPSON
The weekend brought improved
fishing, especially from the piers
and inshore boats. Headboat fish
ing has been consistently very
good for the past week.
Ocean piers reported many
kings hooked and several land
ed, several tarpon sighted or
hooked. Good spot runs have be
gun and blues are biting well
on the bottom. With much stir
along the coast about kings from
ocean piers, we must brag a bit
that no pier has equalled the rec
ord we have locally? over 40
kings this season from Thomp
son's Pier alone.
Norman Clark took a 20-pounder
Sunday off Sportsman Pier, and
M/Sgt. W. S. Morris, Cherry Point,
caught two 8 to 12-pounders from
Morehead ocean pier. Where 15
were hooked in one day.
At Triple-Ess Pier anglers
were very happy with improved
bottom fishing that continued
through the day; blues at the
rate of 25 to 40 per fisherman,
plenty of spots and croakers.
Inshore and private boats came
back with the season's best catches
of blues and spanish mackerel: at
Edgewater Marina Buddy Klein of
Raleigh reported 49 spanish and
63 blues; Johnny Styron's Sylvia,
81 blues, 47 spanish, 6 kings; Har
riet L II on an inshore trip, 70
spanish, 8 blues, 2 kings; Sandy,
35 blues, 5 spanish; Theodore's
Sylvia, 37 blues and spanish, one
king; Tommy Lulu, 12 spanish, 2
blues, by Bob Black of Bateville.
The headboats Carolina Queen,
Danco and Jack Piper VII all
reported very good catches, es
pecially of sea bass and porgies:
Sulla Ramsay of Rocky Mount
caught 87 sea bass, 16 porgies
and 2 triggers aboard the Queen;
Bob Hill Jr. of Durham, fishing
with hU parents aboard Danco,
had 1 lard itaada filled with
mixed bottom fish.
From the sound and river: Jim
my Richardson and party, Kinston,
skipp fishing off Fleming's, caught
several sheepshead and about 200
croakers, spots and hogfish. From
Bunch's Pier, Ed Bsrbour ami
Cooper Deland, Smithfield, caught
IS flounder.
At B. J. White's A. L. Pres.
?er of New Bern reported a Im
pound pompano; Tommy O'Neal
and Robert llurnt, Durham, drift
fishing off the Beaufort Channel
Jetty, caught 22 flounder and 5
blues on cut mullet.
Courtney Humphrey and Carl
Jones of Kinston rami' back to
Mom and Pop's with 18 sheeps
head. one to seven pounds, and 4
black drum.
Offshore fishing was not up to
par, but several good catches
camc in: Blue Water, with 25 am
berjack and one spanish; Sea Ra
ven, with 11 amberjack, 12 kings
and a 'cuda; Bunny Too, with 20
dolphin and 3 ocean bonito; Dol
phin III with 12 kings, 5 false alba
core and one dolphin; and Dolphin,
with 34 dolphin, S amberjack and
5 triggers.
Things that break a fishing
editor's heart: ocean piers lit
tered with plnfish, small spots,
blowfish, skates, but when some
one catches an electric skate
(this one was a guitar fish), he
throws it overboard. Please,
when you catch a rare fish, es
pecially an electrified one, put
it on ice, regardless of its volt
age, and call 6-5403.
Another unusual item: Capt.
Dave Gould camc in the other day
with a 61.? pound remora, one of
the largest ever reported. They
commonly run in the 1 to 2-pound
class. '

? Morehead City was eliminated in
district play at Havelock Friday
by the Greenville Tar Heel League
tournament team 3-0. Greenville
Tar Heel League had earned the
right to meet Morehead by defeat
ing the Greenville North State
League team in the first round
play 4-0. Morehead drew a bye in
first round play.
Harper pitched for the Green
ville team, and held the Morehead
team to a lone hit; an infield
grounder down the third base line
that Donald Yeager beat out. Har
per allowed Morehead only four
base runners, two on errors, a
lone walk, and Yeager's single.
Robert Griffin went the distance
for Morehead, scattering nine hits.
Greenville scored a single tally in
the first on Cannon's triple and
Harper's single. In the third
Greenville sent 8 men to the plate
and scored the minimum number
of runs under that situation.
Cannor led off with his second
of three hits for the afternoon,
raced to third on Maloney's single
and scored when the ball got by
the Morehead left fielder. Maloney
scored on Harper'* second hit of
the game. Two more singles load
ed the bases but Griffin rose to
the occasion getting the second
out of the Inning on a force at
home and then forcing Evans to
foul out to the catcher for the
third out.
Harper was tough on the More
head squad, displaying a fine fast
ball and * tantalizing curve. He
struck out eight and walked only
one. Griffin struck out four and
passed only two.
This loss ends play for the More
head Little League for the '58 sea
son. The league once more wishes
to thank all thoie persona who
have helped make it auccessful.
The boys gave of themselves un
selfishly in their participation in
the program, the response from
the parents and friends was most
encouraging, response from the
public in the sale of decali was
most gratifying.
We sincerely thank the news
paper and both radio stations for
the splendid coverage they gave
us in promoting the program.
All persons concerned with the
program are looking forward to
next year when we will move to
the Camp Glenn site. Thil new
site permits us to build a perma
nent field and will be much safer
from traffic in chasing fly halls
which go astray.

Half-Year Report
On Fisheries
9 Clam, Hard Crab,
Finfish, Scallop,
Menhaden Catches Up
0 Severe Winter Affects
Oyster, Shrimp Take;
Soft Crab Season Short
Production of clams, hard crabs,
scallops, finfish and menhaden for
the first six months of 1958 exceed
ed production for the same period
of 1957, according to the report
given the Board of Conservation
and Development last week.
C. G. Holland, commercial fish
eries commissioner, commented
on the fisheries as follows :
Oysters: The production of oys
ters for this fiscal year was 146,207
five peck tubs and of this amount
59,326 tubs were taking during this
period. For the first two months
of the oyster season we had good
weather but during December
through February, we had some of
the worst weather in many years.
Part of the time the oyster fleet
was frozen in and could not op
erate at all. In my opinion, the
drop in production was due largely
to bad weather.
Shrimp: The production in
shrimp during this period was dis
appearing. We held up on the
opening date as long as possible
because there were no encouraging
signs of shrimp. We finally decided
to open the season in hopes that
the entire fleet could locate shrimp
in commercial quantities.
Fair catches were made in Back
Bay, Core Sound and around Beau
fort Inlet. This species was the
brown ipotted shrimp. They were
Shedding His Males
Phoenix, Ariz. (AP)? Everett C.
Hess, charged with bigamy, filed

of his three wives. He accused
both mates of "excessive, out
rageous and cruel treatment." He !
said the third wife already had ,
filed a divorce suit against him. I
late in showing up just as all other
seafood due to the extremely cold
winter. These shrimp were soon
caught up or moved beyond the
reach of the shrimpers. At this
writing, the production of shrimp
is very discouraging.
Clams: We had a fair catch of
clams in spite of bad weather.
Crabs: We had a very short sea
son on soft crabs. Normally, soft
crabs show up in February, but
this year it was late March before
they appeared. However, the short
season was very profitable to the
catchers. Hard crabs and clams
are about the only seafood that we
are producing at this time in any
quantities. The catch of nard crabs
during this period was the best
since 1955.
Scallops: The production of scal
lops was about 10,000 gallons over
the same period last year. We
have quite a few small scallops in
Bogue and Core Sounds and with
normal weather, we should have a
fair crop of scallops next season.
Finfish: The production of fin
fish shows an increase, over the
same period of 1957, of approxi
mately 4,428.000 pounds. Of course,
the month of June 1958, is only an
estimated catch. The largest catch
in species was the ale-wives or
herring, 14,914.000 being reported;
the next largest take was croakers,
there being approximately 4,500,000
pounds landed. Also reported was
1,889,000 pounds of grey trout or
weak fish.
"Our law enforcement program,
I am quite sure, will be aided con
siderably by the addition of a
plane equipped with floats. Our de
partment has made 95 arrests,
seized 127 nets and 97 anchors dur
ing this period. Our receipts for
this fiscal year reached an all time
high," Commissioner Holland con
cluded.
