MANY SPORTSMEN IN FIELD
Duck, deer and fish were lucky if they got through the
last fiscal year, Acting Director Willis King of the Wildlife
Resources Commission, reported yesterday. They had to
dodge ;>u per cent more
sportsmen than in the previ
ous year. King said 284,643
hunting and fishing licenses
,,rre 5old in the year June 30,
compared with 189,699 for
the previous period.
Mrs. Lucille B. Edwards,
Wilmington historian, deviat
ed from her regular duties
long enough to do a fishing
stint on ‘catching blues’. It
was so interesting it is being
passed along to Star-News
readers.
In the fall of the year the
beaches and inlets of the low
: er Cape Fear section are' a
scene of great activity, due to
! the fact that the blue fish are
! running.
Cuest Columnist
For pure gameness this mrs. luciiae b. Edwards
1 fish has no equal in salt water, and fortunate indeed is the
angler who hooks one. This fish never gives up and keeps
fighting until he is landed, even then they have been known
: to bite and to snap at fishermen who were unhookig them.
Once a blue fish is hooked it takes an expert angler to
land him, as every artifice known is employed to free him
self. In this case as in most every one, experience is the
best teacher; it takes practice before one becomes profici
ent. However, the prize is well worh the effort, both from a
sporting and an “eating” standpoint.
If fishing for this gamy fish a rod and reel is used.
The tackle consists of a long shank hook with a wire leader.
For bait, cut mullet is best suited, although a tin squid may
be used. Some fishermen prefer to use a boat, anchoring in
the inlet, on a falling tide. In this case if the fish are “run
ning” in earnest, although fresh mullet is the standard bait,
a piece of red flannel is used for bait. A light snicker is
usually employed so that the bait will not go to the bottom,
but will stay-a short distance from the surface. For outside
fishing various lures (trolling) may be used.
The favorite fishing places around the Cape Fear sec
tion for blue fish ai’e: Kure’s Beach, Ft. Fisher, Corncake
Inlet, Topsail, While Hills, Moores Inlet, Rich’s Inlet and
Mason’s Inlet. Any day during the fall of the year or early
spring, numerous fishermen may be seen at these favorite
spots, trying their skill at this wonderful sport.

Two pre-tourney favorites and an

three way tie for first place in

six and 70 for the day to go with
his 68 of yesterday.
Close behind the leaders at 139

RANGERS CLASH
WITH CO -MEN
AT STADIUM
Still stunned by the 12-8 shel
lacking they received from the
Eastern State League All-Stars
Friday night, members of the
Cape Fear “dream club’’ rejoined
their respective teams yesterday
and were more than willing to
resume the regular Cape Fear
loop schedule which has the fol
lowing games on tap for today:
Masonboro vs. Acme - Delco;
Hampstead vs. Seagate; and Win
ter Park vs. Pepsi-Cola.
The most important contest is
the skirmish between Frank
Hines’ Rangers and Skeet James’
Cola Boys at Legion Stadium.
Winter Park is currently tied with
Hampstead for first place in the
loop and a defeat would throw
them out of the loop lead, at
least temporarily.
According to James, Pepsi-Cola
will pitch Lappy Williams, Mur
phy Scoggins, or Jim Vicktry to
day. The rest of his lineup is ex
pected to be: Norman Farmer,
first base; Jack High, second
base; Curly Shands, third base;
Hugh Barlow, shortstop; Clam
Rogers, ieft field; Bill Cobis, cen
ter field; Poopy Sandlin, right
field; and A1 Tatum, catcher.
Winter Park is slated to use
either Duncan Futrelle or Nor
wood Skipper on the mound. The
Ranger infield consists of Harry
Smith ft first, Ken Raynor at sec
ond, Frank Hines, Jr., at third,
and Jack Batts at shortstop. In
the outfield will be Ed Lamb, A1
Smith, and Ned Braswell.
Campobello Island, site of for
mer President F. D. Roosevelt’s
summer home, is ten miles long
and two miles wide.

Chicago a 2-1 victory.
Halting Joe DiMaggio’s hitting
streak after 13 straight games,
Lopat lost his shutout on Tommy
Henrich’s 13tn homer in the
fourth. The only other Yank hits
were singles by pitcher Bill
Bevens in the third and George
Stirnweiss in the sixth.
Stirnweiss lost the game in the
eighth with his error on Taft
Wright's grounder that enabled
Mike Tresh to score from third.
Tresh nad opened the inning with
a single, taken second on Lopat’s
sacrifice bun: and advanced to
third on Floyd Baker’s infield out.
Tresh scorea both Chicago runs
as he walked, stole second and
roue nonie on Lopat s smgie to
left in tne sixth to tie tne score.
Lopat. the only consistent pitch
er on Ted Lyons’ staff, racked
up his eighth win to nine defeats
and his 10th complete game of
the season. It was another heart
breaker for Bevens who yielded
only six hits but went down for
the 10th time. It seldom is his
luck to get in on any of the
Yanks’ slugging parties such as
their 20-hit attack Thursday on
their 14-hit parade yesterday.
The loss^ combined with Bos
ton's romp over St. Louis cut the
Yanks’ commanding lead to 10 1-2
games with 61 to play.
