Sports Hodge-Podge BY CARLE HODGE Apparently undaunted by army restrictions that keep them from many of their favorite casting spots — and thus fav not bothered much by gasoline rationing—just as many fishermen as usual dot the piers and inlets along the south ern North Carolina coast. Of course, the coast guard has given very definite orders that no pleasure angling be allowed on “the out side." beyond the bars. Several areas including Shell island and Mason’s Inlet are restricted as army firing ranges. And the entire shoreline is shrouded after dark 5v the dim-out order. ’But the numerous piers and inlets and sloughs still open are crowded on weekends, certainly not void of fisher men at other times. Some are even fishing in the dark. Bait and equipment retailers and operators of com merical piers report business as usual. Priorities haven’t drastically cut their wares as yet and as one of them told this coinei List night. Naturally we expect gas rationing to hurt our business. But it certainly hasn’t sofar . .

The early season fellows are reporting good — though not above average — luck. Especially good along the beaches are the mullet and small bluefish catches . . . Trout time is still about a month away. The Monday Wash— Frank Clemmons’ Amoco Cannoneers, who broke into the Cape Fear league wins column yesterday, have a two day road trip slated for this week-end.

Sports Editor Neale Patrick of the Raleigh Times was a Wrightsville Beach visitor over the week-end, stopped by the Star-News office with nice sunburn prospects. After counting up spare trophies, the Cape Fear Coun try club’s tournament committee decided to have a delayed “spring" meet. If rain puts greens in condition this week, qualifying rounds will probably be held Saturday. With their first several games on the records as fast close ones, the new Seaboard Baseball league stands a good chance of developing into one of the best amateur circuits in this section . . .

For, off his most recent job of work—finishing a well-beat en second to Shut Out in the Belmont stakes—the little Chi cago Express appears to be in the same boat as the rest of us. He looks like he’s running short of gas, too. The only dif ference is,'“the Sab” doesn’t have a ration card. This likelihood—that one of the toughest campaigns ever loaded on a top gee-gee is fin ally catching up to Alsab—was evident yesterdsjy, when he fin ished three lengths back in the pn a pfnr'TPTn that saw war relief benefit by nearly a quarter of a million dollars from Belmont and Ja maica contributions and Shut Out go a long way toward clinching the championship of the three-year olds by his $44, 520 victory. In the last killing quarter of a mile of the Belmont’s mile and-a-half grind, Alsab didn’t gain a lick on Mrs. Payne Whitney’s galloping Son of Equipoise. What’s more, h i s famous stretch kick was gone. At 26 seconds, it was the slow est last quarter he’s been ask ‘ed to run since before the Ken tucky Derby—and he was ask ed loudly and pointedly. In fact, Gene Krupa, the drum mer-man, would probably have been slightly green with envy if hp’d seen the iob Jockey Basil James was doing with his April 13—an average of a trip whip trying to get Alsab to turn {o the post more frequently 11 .l0086' , , , than once every five days. Just This matter of overwork for imagine if Joe Louis were ask Alsab has been pointed out be- ed to defend his title every fore, but owner A1 Sabath and five days Gr, better still, just trainer Sarge Sivenke have recall how much below his consistently “pooh-poohed the peak the Bomber looked last idea.

When the Bronx bombers blast ed starter Joe Heving out of the box with a three-run assault in the first inning. Smith took over and held them to six hits and one run, a homer by Tommy Henrich, the rest of the way.

PUZZLING AMOCO NINE NOZES OUT PEPSI, 3 TO 2 Shipyard Holds Cape Fear League Lead By Defeating Grocery Squad, 6 To 4 By R. J. POWELL The Shipyard Progressives mov ed one notch nearer winning the Cape Fear first-half flag yesterday afternoon at Legion stadium as they won over the A. L. King team 6-4 while the puzzling Amoco Can noneers were upsetting the Pepsi Cola boys, 3 to 2 in a close game at Hilton. Righthander Edwards’ fine five hit flinging and his sixth inning double that scored Sam West fig ured prominently in toppling the Pepsi applecart. Edwards had the Cola crew under complete control every round with the excetion of the sixth chapter when the PC’s coupled Rowan’s single with Mac Keithan’s walk and catcher Neth ercutt’s first of two hits to tie the count at 2-all with two dead. Amoco got eleven bingles off starter Red Miller and Jack Shoaf who worked from the third on out. Eight Oilers were left stranded. Second baseman Tony Reynolds was the fielding star for the win ners and H. Bohanan was the big man with the willow. Reynolds handled nine chances with out a slip and started the only double play while thirdsacker Bohanan hit the ball safely three times out of four. Meade. Farmer and Strick land got two for four for Amoco and Nethercutt led the Pepsis with a similar record. Five runs in the first round off regular third baseman Curley Shands proved enough to keep the Shipyard winning streak intact. After that bad start in w hich manager Snag Allen started and was forced to quit in favor of Shands the stadium tilt developed into a nice pitchers argument with the shippers’ Urbon and K 1 n g’s Alvah Tatum taking the honors. With no other hurler in sight. Tatum took over in the second and allowed one shipyard run on three hits in finishing the futile effort for the crippled Kingers. Burney Covington led the K ing eight hit assault off Urbon with two hits and Johnnie Edens turned in a like record to top the Pro gressive boys with the bat. The Cape Fear league will hold it’s regular meeting tonight at 7:30 in the courthouse. PEPSI COLA A« R H O A i: Rowan, ss - 4 1 1 3 t (1 S.
