Warren Beck Enters Finals

Atlantic Risks
One-Game Lead
At Beaufort
Atlantic treks to Beaufort Sun
day for a doubleheader in County
Baseball League play, hoping to in
crease its first place margin.
Showing tremendous power at
the plate coupled with a good pitch
ing staff in the form of Gary Mor
ris and Don Willis, Atlantic leads
its nearest foe, Salter Path, by one
game. Atlantic's record is 6 and
2. Salter Path has a 5 and 2 rec
ord.
Beaufort is hanging on in third
place with a 4 and 3 log. Boasting
the best pitching staff in the league
with Cal Hodges and Clyde Owens,
Beaufort is improving its hitting
power and would like nothing more
than to take both games.
Salter Path Tests Morehead
Salter Path will risk its second
place standing against fourth
place Morehead City at the latter's
home diamond. Morehead, in split
ting with Beaufort last week,
showed great improvement, both
in hitting and defense.
Bob Butler, Morehead manager,
has finally got his charges working
together, and with the return of
hurler Jimmje Webb to uniform
they can now be a serious threat
to the league leaders.
Salter Path, under the direction
of its able manager, Ty Frost, has
been right in the thick of things
since the league opened. They
also have shown improvement and
have the necessary hitting power
and pitching staff to contend for
league honors.
Smyrna-HI at Home
Newport, league cellar dwellers,
travels to Smyrna for a tilt with
Smyrna-Harkers Island. The Smyr
na-Harkers Island crew, led by Wil
son Davis, is two games ahead of
Newport in the standings.
A double win for Davis's aggre
gation would boost them into the
first division, but a double loss
pulls Newport out of the cellar.
Jerry Garner and Milton Gould
will probably oppose Wilson Da
vis and Red Davis on the Hill for
Sunday's doubleheader.
Harry Agganis, Red Sox rookie ;
first baseman, was a backfield j
coach at Boston University last 1

French Shoot
Ducks While
Lying in Bed
By PRESTON L. GROVER
Paris (AP) ? The French have
invented a system of lying in bed
while shooting ducks.
We went duck hunting with a
French friend who owns some
swamp and ponds 60 miles from
Paris and later followed it up with
a pig-hunt in the forest of Senlis.
Arriving at night, we were led
along a narrow trail through reeds
to the main house. After dinner
we were to shoot ducks at night
on the ponds. The French wait
until the duck is broadside, and if
there is more than one duck, they
wait until two are in line so you
can get two at a crack.
To an American it was a brand
new experience. In the United
States, you stop shooting a
half hour after sundown and unless
you are a craven sportsman you
would never think of shooting a
bird except on the wing. Sitting
on a pond? Nevaire.
We wer? assigned to share a ca
bin on the'edge of a pond. A bunk
on each side of the cabin contained
two port holes. One looked out on
the center of the pond, the other
along the side. Each bunk had an
eiderdown sleeping bag. We
crawled into them to do our duck
shooting.
Beside each bed was a 12-guage
shotgun, good up to 40 yards, may
be a bit more. Beside that was a
10-guage shotgun, good up to 60
yards. Then came the real shoot
ing iron.
Within reach of either bunk was
a 4-bore shotgun for use in case
a cautious duck chose to land on
the far side of the pond and you
had to reach nearly 100 yards.
Moreover, each shotgun was
equipped with a telescope sight
to help seeing and sighting in the
dark.
It was a great hunt. Not a
duck came by and we didn't fire a
shot.
Kennedy Ties Hockey Record
Toronto (AP) ? Ted Kennedy,
captain of the Maple Leafs, tied a
21-year-old N a t i o n a 1 Hockey
League record when he scored
against Boston after only eight
seconds of play. The record was
set by Ron Martin of the New York
Americans on Dec. 4, 1932.
Thank You . .
To my friendi and neighbors of Carteret
County who stood so loyally by mo in my
race for the nomination for Solicitor in Sat
urday's Primary I wish to exprets my sin
cere appreciation. Your support so gener
ously given I shall never forget. If there is
to be a run-off primary between Mr. Rouse
of Pitt and myself, I shall be depending
upon you to continue that support, and
you know in advance that you will have
my heart-felt gratitude.

Experts Rate Pat Shaffer
As Championship Material
Pat Shaffer, 16-year old Florida
tennis star, bites her lower lip
as she returns a base line shot.
St. Petersburg, Fla. (AP)--A
pert little blonde teenage who
attended her first tennis match
when she was three weeks old,
is making the experts here think
they have another potential cham
pion in the making.
She is 16-year old Pat Shaffer,
Florida's number one girl player
who has been tabbed the most
likely looking prospect to emerge
in the Sunshine State since Doris
Hart first broke into big time ten
nii.
Pat won the Orange Bowl junior
title (Dec. 29) by beating the
Mexican natiopal junior champion.
The only player ever to defeat
Pat in the 18-year-old-and-under
bracket in tournament play was
Mary Ann Eilenberger, the nation's
ranking junior.
Pat won the Southern Inter
sectional at Chattanooga, the
Interscholastic at the Univenity
of Florida, the Florida State at
Ft. Lauderdale, the West Coast at
Sarasota, the East Coast at Day
tona Beach and the Times Tourna
ment at St. Petersburg.
A product of the Florida junior
development program, she is rated
the "most promising young Florida
played in years" according to E. A.
Turvllle, Florida Lawn Tennii
Association -president. Her father,
Grant Shaffer, a former tourna
ment player and one-time city of
St. Petersburg champion, has also
had a hand in her eoaching. As a
result of her fine tournament re
cord, Pat was entered in the Na
tionals at Forest Hills last year.
She was the youngest player to
compete in the 1953 champion
ships.
Pat's activities are not solely
confined to tennis. An accom
plished musteian, she has taken
piano lessons since she was four
and is a member of the St. Peters
burg High School orchestra. An
honor student, she was voted the
most talented girl in her high
school'class for the past two years.

The oldest vanity athlete In the
college's intercollegiate sports his
tory won his first three matches
this season. Two were at doubles,
another singles. In the singles he
defeated a 19-year old Manhattan
College sophomore.
But playing tennis and attending
classes is only a part time affair
for Walt Thomas. He has a full
time job with New York City'*
fire department. He works for the
Bureau of Fire Investigation.
An honor student who has main
tained a 95l average for the last
two years, Thomas didn't start
playing tennis until he was 35.
Despite this late start he won the
American Tennis Assn. veteran's
single* tourney in 1951. It was the
first time he had entered.
But getting a late start is noth
ir new for the trim 175-pound

to help the family budget, so he
I worked a* a mail carrier, prison
guard, park attendant and fireman.
Another 11 years elapsed be
tween his high school graduation
and his cnroNmcnt at CCNY.
Thomas was asked to join the
tennis team when Coach Harry
Karlin saw him in the gym hitting
a ball against a wall. Karlin con
vinced Thomas that tennis would
be a means of relaxation and he
coukf help the team.
But as in all of Thomas' de
liberate moves, he didn't accept
at once. It took a year of con
vincing.
