Surveying the Scene
with Hal Shapiro
? Last Wednesday night TV fight fans saw one of the better fistic
machines of the day in action for nine rounds. The network video lines
went bad for the last round of the battle.
Bobo Olson, the mauling, slugging middleweight champion of the
world, let it be known that he was ready for bigger and better men, as
he unmercifully belabored Joey Maxim, former lightheavyweight champ
for the full distance.
Not only did Olson make Maxim look bad throughout the fight, but
the middle king had Joey on the canvas twice, once in the second
round and again in the ninth.
It would seem that Olson could conceivaoly put on more weight and
even in time become a heavyweight, but tit the moment it looks as
though he'd make a mighty fine choic? for a fight against the current
lightheavy title holder Archie Moore.
Olson has all the weapons necessary for a man to get by against the
heavier opposition. He can take a punch, and can certainly dish them
out.
He's the type of battler that gives his opponent fits. He's always
on the go, letting go with punches with both hands from all angles.
Olson is far and above one of the better batters to be seen on TV
screens and we hope that we'll be seeing the durable Hawaiian in many
more bouts.
? Tomorrow afternoon at 4 at the Camp Glenn football field, which
will also serve as the Little League diamond for Morehead City, boys
of Little League age, 8-12, will attend the opening meeting of the Little
League program in Morehead City.
This initial session will he to get birth certification of age and
other pertinent information. No boy who will be 13 years of age
before Aug. 1 is eligible to play in the program.
Starting Thursday afternoon, spring training will start for the Little
League aspirants, and for three weeks following the initial week, the
boys will work out every Tuesday, Wednesday anrf Thursday afternoon
from 4-6 p.m. The drills they'll go through include batting, fielding,
and pitching.
On May 15 the four managers of the Little League teams will select
their teams. Play in the loop will begin May 30 with a doubleheader.
Floyd Chadwick, player agent for the Little League Program, will
have charge of the initial meeting tomorrow afternoon and will assist
in the spring training.
All those who have pledged to buy signs for the Little I/eague
fence are requested to send their checks to Dr. Russ Outlaw, secre
tary-treasurer, Little League, Morehead City, N. C. Little League is
a Finer Carolina project.
? Of the county teams that we've seen in action thus far thi^ sea
son, it looks like the Morehead City Eagles will be the representatives
of Carteret County in the Class A baseball tournament.
It seems that Pamlico County is the team to beat for the Seashore
Conference crown.
Coach Norman Clark at Morehead City lias a pretty fair ballclub,
and with the return to action momentarily of his first string catcher
Bobby Willis, his team should go all the way against county oppo
sition.
Bradley Mcintosh could conceivably be the best hurler on the
Eagles staff. He unveiled a wicked hook last Tuesday against Smyrna.
Others on the mound staff include Jerry Garner and Jerry Pittmatl
Garner looked exceptionally good against Atlantic and Pittman has
been plagued by a lack of control in his first two outings.
Up at Bayboro the Pamlico County Spuds have three fine hurlers
in Joe Brinson, Joe Gahagan, and Jerry Prescott.
It will undoubtedly be a battle all the way as to which of these
teams will be the champs in the conference race. Pamlico has the edge
at this writing.
