.r-i SPEARHEADING
TAKE A glance at the batting and fielding averages of
the Hazehvood players, elsewhere on this page, and note that
six of them are hitting above .400, including three players
who have seen service in all four games and two others "who
missed but one. Bud Blalock's 7 out of 15, Stan Henry's 9 in
20, and Elmer Dudley's 8 for 19 show where the timber power
lies, while Gene Wyatt and Sheriff Smith have averages that
are not to be taken lightly. Hits help to make runs and the
Hazelwood bat will bring home the bacon again this summer
if anv thing will.
THE USE of Jack Case as pitcher last week was a
good point of strategy on Manager Blalock's part, leaving
himself available to take over if things go wrong while
one of his new moundsmen is performing. Perhaps
Southpaw John Singleton will get a similar chance at
Canton, since Dud probably will want to save himself for
Beacon Mills, their most dangerous challenger, in the
May 31st game here.
AT THE Fox Hunters Association meeting this week the
group set the date of August 23 for their second annual hound
show. The selection of committees will be announced shortly
by President Jim Killian, who avers that the dogs that took
over the high school grounds last summer will be badly out
numbered this year. A noon barbecue also is in the making,
with some lambs and chickens already offered for the roasting.
WE'RE HOPING the weather man deals kindly to
Monday evening, making it a good night for the start of
the Softball season. Dayton Rubber looked for a while as
if it might slide out of sight as a leading contender for the
league title, but before all the jockeying for players ends
we look for them to field a pretty strong team . . . Sut
ton's lived up to early dope by downing Pet Dairy 12-7
in a practice tilt Tuesday. Look for a good inkling to the
major division championship when the Tannery and Sut
ton's get mixed up Monday. It's still too early to count
any team out, such as the National Guard, who didn't
ask to get in the upper bracket to make things easier for
the others.
ALTHOUGH the Big and Little East Forks of Pigeon
are closed areas until next month, West Fork has open dates

TAR HEEL FISHERMEN
FIND LUCK ALL OVER
North Carolina fishermen from
seacoast to mountains are making
news with good catches now that
the 1947 season is going strong.
Here are some of the more note
worthy items!
Lloyd J. Kolb, of Asheville, re
cently became the second fisher
man to pull a largemouth bass
weighing more than 11 pounds
from the waters of Lake Lure. His
beauty, which he took on a chub
minnow, weighed 11 pounds and
7 ounces.
Asheville. is looked to have one of
the strongest teams.

Sutton's Meets Tan
nery in Feature
Game Monday, Minors
Play at 7 P. M.
Finishing touches to the organiz
ation of two divisions ' in the
Waynesville - Hazelwood Softball
league were carried out this week,
and a 35 night schedule will get
under way Monday with buttons
No. 2 team taking on the Lions
(Club in .the opening game, and
the Sutton's "varsity" meeting the
Tannery in the nightcap.
The program will start at
o'clock each Monday, Tuesday and
Friday until the latter part of
August; with minor division teams
taking the field first, and the ma
jors playing second, starting on or
before 8:30 p.m.
A surprise move at the meeting
Tuesday night of managers and
league officials was the request by
Sam Carswell to place the National
Guard entry in tire upper bracket
of teams, where they joined Day
ton Rubber. A. C. Lawrence (the
Tannery i. Pet Dairy, and Sutton's
No. 1.
This left only three accepted
members in the minor division, the
High School Youth Club and Lions
Club; a problem that was solved
when Bob Sutton agreed to enter
a junior team from excess high
school players and from his own
major league team. This rounded
out the lower division to four
teams.
On the request of Ed Boone, the
Lions Club was allowed to use
any member of the Lions on their
team, exempting them from the 15
player limit.
Lush Pressley, newly selected
manager of the Dayton Rubber
club, ended all doubt about Day
ton entering the league and re
quested that his team be placed in
the upper division.
The meeting Tuesday was pre
sided over by L. N. Davis, league
president, and attended, other
than those previously mentioned,
by C. E. Weatherby. manager of
the High School team; J. C. Bur
rell, the Tannery; Lawrence Leath
er wood and Ed Spears, executive
committeemen.
Teams were given until June 1st
to complete the sale of season
tickets and submit the money for
them to the treasurer.
Mr. Weatherby was elected as
groundkeeper, and Rufus Gaddis
approved as scorekeeper and an
nouncer. The first week's schedule:
May 26 Sutton's 2 vs. Lions,
Sutton's 1, vs. Tannery.
May 27 High School vs. Youth
Club, National Guard vs. Dayton.
May 30 Lions vs. High School,
Pet Dairy vs. Sutton's 1.
Mrs. Al White of near Windsor,
fishing in Broad Creek, landed a
crappie which spanned 19V Inches
and weighed 3Ms pounds.
Lloyd Stephenson of Canton ex
tracted a 2134-inch rainbow trout
from Jonathan Creek which so far
is leader in the rainbow division of
a fishing contest sponsored by a
Canton store. Second at present is
held by an 18Vfc-inch rainbow,' also
which
was taken by Melvin Henline.
(Current leader in the small-
mouth bass division of the contest
is a 6-pound, 13-ounce specimen
taken from Lake Chatuge by John
York. Chatuge also produced the
present runner-up, a 5-pound, 11-
ounce smallmouth hooked by Jack
Williams.
On the coast, good catches of
channel bass have been reported
with regularity since they began
running. Oregon Inlet started the
season with a couple of 55-pound-ers.
Fishing the surf at Ocracoke
last week, three Greensboro men
D. C. Mooney, W. S. Duggins and
David Meadow got 12 channel
bass ranging from 20 to 40 pounds.
The day before, Mooney took live
off the beach 35 to 42 pounds.
From Wrightsville Beach comes
word of the season's best catches
of blues and mullets from fishing
piers at Wrightsville and Kure
beaches. Croakers also are being
taken from the sound. Morebead
City reports the first little tunny
(false albecore) hauls by tieep-gea
sport-fishing boats at the start rtjf
last week. Two party boats from
Southport came in last week with
