? Initial tryouts for Little League players in Morehead City will be
conducted April 18 at the Little League diamond, and all youngsters i
I who played in the loop last year, plus those who are out for the teams, <
are urged to attend ]
Floyd Chadwick, player agent, has announced that the tr.vouts will 1
be viewed by all managers and coaches of last year's teams and a
good number of prospects are expected. 1
Many of the boys who played last year graduated, and there will be 1
quite a number of voids to fill. I
Among the outstanding boys who graduated from the program were 1
Jack Burns, Dan Wade, Johnny Baker, Jimmy Terrell, Wayne Best. ]
Ernest Lewis and many, many others. J
Managers in the Little League will be seeking replacements for
these bovs and for others who have dropped from the program, so all (
youngsters between the ages of 8-12 should attend the tryout ses- (
sions.
Thanks to Harry Burns of the Carolina Power and Light Co., the
poles for the backstop were put up at the diamond recently and the (
backstop is now being erected. j
We're certain that everyone will enjoy the program this season, and j
we hope that everyone will be on hand when the season opens on May |

? The Azalea Festival Golf Tournament is underway today and
tomorrow at the Cape Fear Country Club at Wilmington, and the play !
of these pros and amateurs would be a sight to behold.
The top players in the country are contesting for $12,500 in prize 5
money and for all you Carteret Countians, a trip to the Wilmington
Country Club will also offer an opportunity- of renewing old friend
ships with Ray and Ellie Garrett, who are the former operators of '
the Blue Ribbon Club.
Watching the greats in action should enable some of the local golf
ers to pick up a few pointers and perhaps a few of them might even
be able to break par on the Mpreh&df City course after that.
? Hazel Walker and her Arkansas Travelers, a group of girl hoop
sters who play men's rules, will be in the county April 20 at the
Morehead City gym to play against a County All-Star aggregation.
The game will be sponsored by the Morehead City Lions Club.
The gals on the squad, who number seven, include Miss Walker, j
Amelia Ziegler, Helen Blackburn, Mary Bobbins, Toby Rayborn, Lur- ?
lyne Greer and Francis (Goose) Garroutte.
Miss Garroutte, who hails from Van Buren, Arkansas, hometown of
Comedian Bob Burns, is a veteran of the team, playing in her fifth
season.
She averages 10 to 45 points per game, playing the pivot and has
an excellent hook shot and a sensational one-hand push shot few men |
can execute.
During the past six seasons Hazel and her beautiful and talented
girls played more than 1,200 games, covering 45 states and Mexico.
The team traveled more than 300.000 miles in six seasons.
Miss Walker, World's Free Throw Champion, challenges all comers
j to a free throw exhibition, standing, kneeling or sittyig positions,
during halftinie of each game.
It promises to be a most enjoyable evening's entertainment, and
we'd advise getting your tickets for the game now from members of
the Lions Club.
? Gary Morris, player for the Atlantic All-Stars in the County
| Baseball League, says he is interested in playing with the House of
David Basketball team next year.
We know that if Gary joins up with the bearded quintet, he'll be a
most valuable asset to the team.
The 6-3, 170 pounder, has a terrilic hook shot, and is very strong
under the boards. Good luck. Gary, and here's hoping we'll be seeing j
you with a beard on next year.
? A pool tournament started this week at Kinston and all of ,
the enthusiasts of this sport from this area are invited to attend and I
see how the shots should be made. i
Ralph Mosconi, national champion, will defend his title and it is
expected that some of the better players in North Carolina will vie !
with other prominent players in an effort to take his crown.
