Good Luck Catcher in Hit
Third No-Hit Ballgame
Greenville, S. C. (AP) ? Bill
Phillips of the Greenville Spinners
in the Class B Tri State league
caught the third no-hit game of
bis career when Freddie Rodri
quei blanked Rock Hill.
Previously, Phillips has been be
hind the plate when battery mates
in the Tri -State and old Eastern
Carolina semipro league hurled no
hitters.
Surveying the Scene
with Hal Shapiro
? The newest addition to the mound staff of the league-leading
Brooklyn Dodgers is an elongated Tar Heel, who at one time pitched
baseball in Morehead City in the old Tidewater League.
The hurler, Roger Craig, was recently called up by the parent
Dodgers from the farm club at Montreal, where the big boy had won
12 and dropped but two.
In his first two outings Craig was returned the victor both times.
Friday night he was rewarded with the M win over the Milwaukee
Braves as he was lifted for a pinch hitter in the bottom of the seventh.
in his initial outing Craig went the distance against the Rediegs,
limiting the Cincinnati club to three hits.
Roger is 6 foot 4 inches tall, and has shown a great deal of promise
since being in the Dodgers organization. lie made the jupip this sea
son to Triple A ball from Class B, and is now a full fledged major
leaeuer, thanks to injuries that have plagued the starting hurlers
of the Brooks a goodly part of the season.
Who said that it was an ill wind that didn't blow somebody some
good?
? Friday night the former welterweight and middleweight cham
pion, Ray Robinson, returned to the ringwars against Rocky Cas
tellani.
In common with a great many others we were of the opinion that
it was time that Sugar Ray pack up the old gloves in tissue paper
paper and quit the boxing game. ,
Robinson showed his critics that even though he has passed his
peak, he still has plenty left as he won a split decision over the lead
ing contender for the middleweight crown.
Castellaini knocked Robinson down in the sixth round, but this was
the only round in which Rocky had a decided advantage.
The fight was very close, and well it might be with the leading
contender fighting a former champion. One judge and the referee
scored the bout 56-54 in favor of Robinson and the other judge had
it in Castellani's favor 56-54. The Associated Press had the fight
scored in Robinson's favor 57-53.
The ex-champ looked sharp in this battle against Castcllani, consid
erably different than his appearance against Ralph (Tiger) Jones.
He concentrated his attack on Castellaini's body throughout the
fight, switching to the head only when Castellani would lower his
guard.
Perhaps Sugar Ray will disprove the old adage that they never
come back. It sure would he wonderful if he could.
? A meeting of the Little league managers and league officials
was held at Joe Nicholas's on Thursday evening.
The big thing that came up was the selection of an All-Star team
that will be announced following the conclusion of the season Friday.
It was also announced that the AllStars will play a game against a
team composed of the league officials, umpires, managers and coaches
on Thursday, Aug. 4, at the Little League diamond.
The only stipulation in this game is that the grownups must bat
lefthanded, and any ball hit over the fence will go for oniy a double
for the big boys, though still counting as a homerun if one of the
All-Stars hit it.
The managers and officials' team will use a different pitcher every
frame with Bob Cantelli expected to start the game, followed by Hal
Shapiro, Brucc Grisham, and in the later stages of the game, Russ
Willan.
The All-Stars will also use a different pitcher each inning so that
all the boys will have a chance against the older folks.
On Wednesday, Aug. 10, there will be a party for all the Little
Leaguers at the Ocean Park Drive-In Theatre with the managers,
coaches, officials and umpires invited to attend.
It is expected that the youngsters will receive their awards at the
party and will have a weinie roast at the theatre and then be guests
for the first movie showing that evening.
Fishing for Area Off'
This Week; Sailfish In
As a whole, fishing has been
"off" for this area Of course even
in an "off week" more fish are
caught here than at any other
coastal region. The wind has
caused more cancellations than
any other.
The two head boats have made
fair to good catches this week, but
the deep sea trip to the 100-fathom
curve planned for yesterday by the
Carolina Queen was cancelled
when a fresh gale wind which had
blown all night was still kicking
up at 4 a.m., the time she was sche
duled to leave It has been resche
duled for today.
Catch of the week was made by |
W. H. Sears of Portsmouth. He is
a nurseryman dealing principally
in azaleas and camillias, but last
week he was gunning for uilfish.
This was the third consecutive
year Scars had fished for sails.
He had been fishing about six
hours when a big one hit the bait,
which was a piece of cut mullet
on a double number 4 hook. He
brought the sail in in 18 minutes
on 60-pound line. "I had heard
that if you gave them any alack
they'd get away, and I never al
lowed him to get any alack," grin
ned Sean. The sail, which he is
having mounted, and for which he
"wouldn't take $5,000," was 8 feet
5<4 inchea long. He waa fiahing
from the Dolphin III.
Jack Bryant and Paul Daniel of
Raleigh rented a B. J. White akiff
Thursday on the causeway and put
their outboard motor on it and
drove out toward the cape. In a
matter of two hours they had 37
spanish mackerel.
Big fish had been reported
jumping around the State Port
Terminal all week and Mrs. H. H.
Fish of Raleigh decided to ace
what they were. She rented a akiff
and fiahed a short while around
the terminal. Resulta? Plenty. An
8-pound and a 21-pound cobia. For
tome reason, immediately after
she returned to the cauaeway the
terminal area waa crowded with
small boats.
For some weeks the pltrt
haven't done too well. However,
tome people who fitti them regu
larly like Mom and Pop Wella of
Morehead City find that they
catch a steady flow of mackerel,
gninta and ipeta. Some good
catches have been registered, but
those are usually made in a few
minutes, and then fishing returns
to slow.
On Pop Smith's pier three large
cobias were caught throughout the
week. Fleming's showed trout,
flounders and sheepshead and Nel
son and G & S showed a predomi
nance of sea mullets and a variety
of pin fish. The latter term is used
to cover all fish under 6 inches
in length.
Kings and spanish have been re
ported all week in schools that
have been described as numbering
from 1,000 to a million, depend
ing upon who was counting. While
there were thousands out there,
very few were caught. One small
inshore boat took out six parties
in one day. Each party caught
from 16 to 70 spanish mackerel,
blues or yellowtaili and sea bream.
Blues are running larger now
than earlier in the year, averag
ing about 2 pounds for the present.
Private boats have been reporting
fair catches all week, mostly spa
nish mackerel and blues.
