Pennant With 14-0 Win
i
Frys, Elks Also Chalk
Wins; Moose Lose Two
Play in the Beaufort Little League this week saw the
undefeated VFW nine clinch the first-half pennant with
a 14-0 win over the Little Frys on Monday afternoon.
The VFW scored three runs in the first inning and were
never headed as they rode to their eighth consecutive win
in as many starts. Righthander Kenneth Lewis handled I
the pitching chores for the winners 4
and limited the Frys to three hits.
\ Lewis was given some superb help
afield as twice the VFW pulled off
double plays to squelch scoring
threats.
Shortstop Arnold Davis led the
eight hit attack of the VFW by
pounding out three hits in four
trips to the plate. His two doubles
and a single drove across three of |
the VFW runs.
Bryan Yeomans, with two hits
in three trips, was the leading hit
tcr for the Little Frys. The only .
other Fry safety was a single in
the sixth inning by Ronnie Teel. i
Teel was the starting and losing I
pitcher for the Frys. He worked i
four innings before being relieved |
by Yeomans who finished up.
In Tuesday's game, the second
place Elks put together two big in- j
nings to waltz to a 15-9 victory j
over the winless Moose team.
The Elks started early, getting
five runs in the first inning and :
six in the third. They then added
two runs in each the fourth and
fifth innings for their total.
Righthander David Peck made
his first start of the year on the
mound for the Elks and he went
the distance, allowing the Moose
five hits and striking out four. His
pitching opponents were David '
Nance, who failed to last an in
ning, and Marvin Lewis. Nance
was tagged with the loss.
Marvin Lewis goi the big hit of
the day in the fifth inning when
he cracked a two-run homer out
of the park. David Pock was the
leading hitter for the Elks, getting
two hits in three official trips to
the plate.
Wednesday's action saw a real
thriller between the Little Frys
and the Moose. With the score
knotted at 3-3 going into the final
frame the Little Frys scored one
run on two walks and a single for
a 4-3 win.
Walks to Bryan Yeomans and !
Lcroy Mcintosh and a single by I
Larry Lewis shoved the winning |
run across the plate for the Frys.
The Frys scored a pair of runs 1
in the first inning and added an
other in the third for a 3-0 lead
before the Moose came back to tie
the score with a single run in the
fourth inning and two in the fifth.
With two out in the bottom of the
sixth the Moose got two men on
base on a single and a walk but
then the Fry pitcher, Larry Lewis,
struck out John Dickinson on a
three and two pitch to end the
game.

Morehead Little League Race
Tightens; Moose Keep Edge
Behind the effective pitching of*
Ronnie Mizesko, the Elks tighten
ed the Morehead City Little League
pennant race Monday with a 13-5
win over the Moose.
The Elks scored eight big runs
in the second inning when they
sent 12 men to the plate. Walks,

Mizesko and a double by Frank
Graham highlighted the frame.
The Moose scored twice in the

of the Elks but three runs in the
third and a single tally in the
fourth put the Elks out in front to
stay.

and walked five. Garland Thomp
son started on the mound for the
Moose and took the loss, his second
of the season against one win.

inning with another homer that
came with a mate on base.

Fabulous
Fishing . . .
By Bob Simpson
This out-ofseason nor'easter has
played havoc with fishing in gen
eral and the marlin tournament in
particular. At press time the mar
lin committee had not met to an
nounce a new schedule. One day
had been allowed for foul weather,
but two days have been used up
by the weather.
The first day produced two blue
marlin: a 390-pounder aboard Blue
Water, by Albert Pearson, Char
lotte, and a 183-pounder aboard
Bunny by GySgt. John Parks,
Cherry Point. The present billfish
score is 14 marlin (one a release)
and 3 sailfish.
Four billfish were brought in
Monday: a 174'^ -pounder aboard
Nika (a private boat from Mon
tauk, L. I.) by J. L. Robb, Hick
ory; a 380 Vj -pounder by Dr. F. L.
Milligan, Jefferson City, Tenn.,
aboard Lois Nancy II; a 6-foot 6
inch sail by Lloyd Bible, Dand
ridge, Tenn., also aboard Lois
Nancy; and a 390'2-pound blue
marlin aboard Bunny Too, by Car
roll Williams, Petersburg, Va.
Ocean pier fishing has been only
fair; the report is unsteady for
blues on plug, big sea mullet on
bloodworms, 10 to 20-pound kings
on live bait. Pete Comiskey caught
only one hit and struck out 12 in
the four innings he worked. Be
cause he pitched in the Moose
game against the Elks on Monday
Thompson had to be relieved in the
last two frames to comply with a
Little League regulation. Ronnie
Zubovic, who also pitched on Mon
day, and Phillip Moran finished
out the last two innings.
Danny Clapsadl went the distance
for the Small Frys and took the
loss.
15 blues on a king mackerel rig
from Oceanana, while other an
glers were having no luck at all
on plug or bottom rigs. The first
summer pompano have been re
ported. but anglers are still look
ing for a strong run of bluefish.
Also looking for blues, but with
more success, have been the in
shore boats: Sam Flippin, Kinston,
and Manly Styron caught 25 blues
from Flippin's boat, and a Kinston
party aboard Johnny Styron's Syl
via had 49 blues.
With the change in weather, the
kings have moved from the area
of the 10-fathom curve to just off
the beach; Wednesday's catches
went as high as 57 kings per boat.
Cobia continue to be tops in
sound and river: eight up to 35 1
pounds were caught in the river
by G. C. and Tom Allen, Winston
Salem, and Mr. and Mrs. H. H.
Fish, Raleigh. The waters around
the Bill more hotel are also pro
ducing plenty of cobia. Pier fish
ing from all the river and sound
piers has been generally good for
hogfish, croakers and other bottom
fish. Flounder are improving on
both ocean and sound side.
New records: both aboard Dol
phin 11, 2 21 '-4 -pound 'cuda by W.
L. Willis, Jacksonville; and a 21^4
pound false albacore by James W.
Bean, also of Jacksonville.
Storehouse Destroyed
Fire destroyed a frame store
house at the home of Milton Robin
son. Morehead City, Wednesday
morning. Furniture and other ar
ticles stored in the hoiise were also
burned. It is not known how the
fire started, according to chief
Lindsay Guthrie.
