Pirates fall in playoffs The bottom of the first in ning hinted that the overcast Saturday in Smithfield would not be the Perquimans Pirates' day. Pirate pitcher Phil Woodell gave up a double to a North Johnson Panther, then bounced two pitches past catcher Gary Hunter to allow the run. Then Woodell walked the next batter, and the next struck Hunter's mitt on a swing and took first on an interference call. Woodell bore down and struck out the next batter to retire the side. "That's just one inning. That ain't but one run," shouted coach Pete Hunter as his team trotted in to take their turn at the plate. But the Pirates were sat down in consecutive order on three straight strike outs and were back on the playing field. This time they looked a little sharper. Second baseman Michael Winslow covered a lot of infield in trapping a sharp grounder behind the bag and nipping the runner at first by a couple of steps. Then Woodell retired the next hitter on a strikeout, and it was shortstop Donnie Parker's turn to stop a shot to the hole between him and second base. Then came the Pirate's biggest threat of the af Bethel hosts bass tourney The Bethel Bass Masters club will sponsor a bass tournament this Sunday, June 1, in Yeopim River. Cash prizes will be awarded for first, second and third places which will be determined by the number of fish caught as well as their total weight. The starting point for the tournament will be Bethel Fishing Center located off N.C. county road number 1340. All boats will leave the dock at 6 a.m. and must return by 6 p.m. The registration fee will be $5 for any Bethel Bass Masters member and $7 for non-members and may be paid the morning of the tournament or in advance by contacting Earl Ward, president, at 297-2383. The Bethel Bass Masters, who meet every third Tuesday of each month at 8 p.m. at Bethel Fishing Center, will hold one tournament per month. Membership in the club is (5 annually and is open to any interested persons. The following are the results of the May tournament which was held in the Perquimans River, May 25, and started from the Little Marina : First place ? Bill Newbern and Worth Dale, Jr. with a winning catch of 6 fish and a total weight of 11 pounds and 7 ounces. Second place ? Worth Dale, Sr. and Earl Ward with 5 fish weighing a total of 5 pounds and 8 ounces. Locals win golf tourney The Roanoke Ladies' Golf Association, made up of eight country clubs in the area, held its annual golf tournament at the Williamston country club on May 20th, with sixty-three participants. Mrs. J. L. Harris and Mrs. J. T. Lane, both of Hertford, were winner and runner-up, respectively, and were awarded silver trays. Mrs. Harris also won an award for hitting closest to the pin on a designated par 3 hole. Third place ? Ronnie Taylor who caught 2 fish weighing 2 pounds and 4 ounces. ternoon. Following two strikeouts, Woodell reached on a single. A roller down the third base line by Winslow put men on first and second. Hunter boomed a drive down the right field line that curved foul, prompting North Johnson to put him on. Elton Layden was next at the plate, probably the most powerful hitter on the Pirate team. The count went to 3-2, and Layden watched a waist-high pitch without much speed on it slice the plate. End of rally. The bottom of the third was more mistakes. Woodell picked up a dribbler near the third base line and hurried a throw to first. The runner advanced to second as Eugene Rountree scampered after the ball. Then Hunter tried to pick the man off second from behind the plate and the ball sailed into centerfield. The runner raced all the way in to score as the centerfielder lobbed the ball back in. 2-0, North Johnson. Two more runs came across in the bottom of the fourtl when a drive to right fiek bounced off the glove a Howard Eaves, scoring a ran, and another hit to right pushed a second ran across. Then in the bottom of the sixth, a North Johnson rannei stole home, to seal the Pirate's fate at 50. Rountree drove the ball to the left field fence in the top of the seventh, but stayed there until the final pitch was thrown, a called third strike. Coach Hunter blamed the loss on mental mistakes, plus a little superstition. "We didn't play worth a cuss." he said. "We didn't show these fellows today what type of ball club we are." Besides the mistakes, Hunter cited the Pirates' failure to score with the bases loaded in the top of the third. "I think that's the inning that broke our backs," he said. But Hunter sensed trouble when he woke up to a rainy Saturday morning. "The first thing I saw was rain," he said. "Every playoff game we've ever lost it was rainy." Abusing the outdoors A fisherman strips a backlash from his reel and leaves the tangled monofilament lying on the stream bank. A sportsman jockeys his truck down a muddy logging road. A hiker builds a campfire against a boulder at the edge of a trail, leaving an ugly, black fire scar. A camper leaves a pile of trash at his campsite. If you hve participated in any of the acts listed above, you are part of a growing problem in North Carolina. The problem is outdoor abuse, and it has land managers riled from the Outer Banks to the Great Smoky Mountains. "Two of the biggest problems we have on Com mission game lands are lit tering and vehicle abuse," said Grady Barnes, assistant chief of the N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission's Division of Game. "There are several problems caused by the use of off-road vehicles. When people use roads in wet weather they often tear the roads up, which results in higher maintenance costs. We also have problems with in dividuals running vehicles through our fields and other off-road areas. This can cause stream siltation and other problems." "Litter is also a big problem," Barnes added. "We have problems with people using game lands as private dumps, but a significant amount of litter also comes from recreationists who simply don't carry out their trash." The solutions to the problems of littering and off road vehicles are relatively simple. People shouldn't take their vehicles off maintained roads, shouldn't use roads when they are wet, and should never travel on a closed road. The solution to the litter problem is also relatively simple. People should pack out their own trash. But there are other problems associated with heavy use of some areas in North Carolina that are the result of sheer numbers. For example, according the the U. S. Forest Service, recreational use of national forests in western North Carolina has doubled in the last 10 years, and the popularity of back country sports has increased even more dramatically. Here are a few tips on how to use the back country.. .gently. ?Pack out your garbage. Paper products can be bur ned, and cans and other nonflamable items should be carried out. Excessive packaging can be reduced by repacking items at home before an outing. ?Use a portable back packing stove instead of a campfire. If you do build a campfire, keep it small and use dead wood found on the ground. Don't build a fire against a boulder where it will leave an unsightly fire scar, and cover all traces of the fire before leaving. ?Camp or hike in small groups (under 10 people) even if you are part of a larger, organized group. Small groups disturb the land less, and nothing riles other back country folk more than en countering a thundering herd. ?Camp on sites that haven't been heavily used. Also, don't ditch your tent, and avoid disturbing the ground cover. Do not build temporary shelters from saplings and live trees for this destroys the vegetation and is illegal on almost all public lands. In some areas, camping may be restricted to permanent tent platforms. Leave the site as you found it. ?Avoid camping in high meadows or mountain balds. High elevation soils are usually thin and fragile, and the plant life is often slow growing and delicate. The soils and vegetation in these areas usually take a long time to recover from damage. Lower elevation forests are able to absorb more use. Hikers should also stick to maintained trails at high elevations, and avoid taking shortcuts that would compact the soil and damage the vegetation.
