Blue Marlin Total Stands
At 27 for this Season
By BOB SIMPSON
The present total of blue marlin
from our marlin grounds off Cape
Lookout is 27, with three boats out
on a marlin hunt yesterday.
We'd like to remiad the marlin
skippers that their seore, from
the percentage standpoint, is un
usually high. Few have gone on
a marlin trip without at least see
Ing a marlin; most have raised
one or more; and very few have
had occasion to raise the skunk
flag. In other more famous (at
present) marlin grounds it is not
uncommon for the same party to
go out daily for a week without
even seeing a marlin.
A point raised by Ray Davis on
the subject of tarpon: the surf
temperature has been very warm,
78 to 82 degrees. Ray ventures
that this tropical warmth will keep
the tarpon biting, and so far he
seems to be right, for tarpon arc
being hooked daily.
The water temperature in
sound and river is also high,
about 80 degrees, so the ocean
side fisherman may not be the
only angler with a chance at the
spectacular fish.
nesday. Three Elk hurlers toed
the mound in an effort to stem the
tide of Fry runs but the winners
had another big inning in the sec
ond, scoring six times.
The Elks scored single runs in
the second and third innings off
the slants of winning pitcher Larry
Teel. Teel gave up only four hits
in chalking up the victory.
Tom Piner was the top man in
the 10-hit Fry attack with three
hits, including a double. Chris
Pake slammed out a triple and a
single In four turns at bat.
Scoring runs for the winnors
were Bobby Stevens, 3, Lockwood
Phillips, Chris Pake, LeRoy Mc
intosh, Charles Piner, 2, Robert
Ransom, 2, Larry Teel, 2, Ronnie
Smith, 2, Tom Piner, 2. Brady
Way and Gerald Austin scored for
the loaers.

Mayor Comments on Dog
Situation in Beaufort
Beaufort Mayor C. T. Lewis says
that the number of dogs running
loose on town streets is increasing
daily. "I don't know where all of
them are coming from but I think
people in the country must be
dumping their stray dogs here in
town," the mayor commented.
"The town has facilities for im
ponding stray dogs," he contin
ued, "and dog owners should be
careful about letting their dogs
run around town. They may end
up in the pound."
