The biggest town in the county will not be represented in the County Baseball League this summer. Morehead City will not have a team in the loop this season. Their crew folded up in mid-season last year. Interest in baseball in the "Big Town" is practically nil, and it seems that it will be many a day before another Ben or Jake Wade goes to the Major League.s from Morehead City. At a meeting Thursday night at the Sport Shop in Morehead City, six teams showed interest in playing in the loop this season The teams represented were Beaufort. Atlantic, Salter Path, New port, Smyrna- Harkers Island and the Coast Guard Base at Foil Macon. < Plans call for play on Saturdays and Sundays this season, with the first games on the calendar slated for the weekend of May 5. Swansboro, which was reported to have been interested in joining the leagm was not present at the meeting and it is believed that they will be iorgotten lor the time being. The schedule, election of officers and other pertinent matters will be discussed at the next meeting of the group scheduled for Thursday night, April 5, at the Sport Shop. ? In baseball parlance they say that the pitchers are usually well ahead of the batters early in the season. Such was the case on Friday at Camp Lejcune when the Morehead City Eagles deteated the Devilpups, 7-0. Jerry Pittman, mound stalwart for th Eagles, let the Lejeune team down with only one hit. In his tenure on the hill he struck out 16 men and walked eight. Jerry didn't have a bit of trouble with the hitters of Lejcune and only his own wildness in spots put men on base. Bob Salisbury also pitched a good ball game for '* d Devilpups. He allowed but seven hits, and five of ihc seven runs against him were unearned. In the very first frame the loftfielder of the Lejcune nine mis judged a flyball off the bat of Bradley Mcintosh and it went for a three-run homer. The final frame saw the Ragles put together four hits plus a walk and a couple of Devilpup errors for their cushion. With good support, we imagine the game might have wound up a 1 or 2-0 victory for the Eagles, considering the pitching on both sides. As the season progresses we expect that the hitters will start catch ing up and the large scoring affairs of the past few years will once again become evident.

This means that the sturdier, heavier Ford carried more weight, with greater gas economy per pound, than any car in its field. This latest Ford victor)' was scored over a rough and rigorous 1,468.8-mile route run ning from Los Angeles to Colorado Springs. The winning Ford threaded its way over the tough and twisting course averaging better than 40 mph. Through the heat of Death Valley and over the chilling height of an 1 1,000-foot mountain peak . . . through the gas-rating ?top-and-go of city traffic and over the straight-line open roat! . . . Ford proved anew its traditional reputation for economical performance. The winning Ford was a regular-produc tion model taken right from the assembly line and officially impounded until the starter's gun sounded. It was no different than thousands of '56 Fords you sec on the road and in dealers' showrooms. This proves that Ford, the Performance, Style and Safety leader, leads in Economy, toot That adds up to four big reasons why the '56 Ford is worth more when you buy it, while you drive it, and when you sell it, tool Tkt "ton-mil*' form-In U fry nrnlrM oflHaU to inrnrr fvnl rh*n,r for nil nro in mtk
