Four Counties

An act empowering the sherlffs n

Pender, Onslow and Brunswick coun-
ties to make arrests in all four coun-
ties for any violation Of the law
has been passed by the state leglsla-
ture. Rep. John r. Morris said last

The act was passed at the request
of Sheriffs C. David Jones, of New
Hanover, Frank Morton, of OnsloW,

Sheriff Jones said last night that
the measure will facilitate law en-
forcement activities in the four coun-
ties and will help to curb any law
breaking that might result from h
heavy influx of new residents in the
section because of the defense pro-
jects here.
However, he said that none OF the
officers will seek to take over law
enforcement in counties not their
own, but rather will be empowered
to serve warrants n those counties.

Contract With Boston

BOSTON, Feb. 7.-R-Dominic
Mike Ryba, famed as baseball's
one man team, today forwarded
his signed contract to the Boston
Red Sox from his Delancey, Pa,
home.
Ryba has played every position
in his long areer has served as
a manager, as well, and is rated
as one of Joe Cronin's 1871 start
ing pitchers. He was voted the In
ternational leagues most valuable
player last year.
Listed at 35. but suspected of
being several years older, Ryba's
purchase price, SIT, 800 cash and
an undesignated player of $1,000
value, was the highest paid for a
minor Lacquer in many years.
That veteran highlander, w h o
has been pitching every fifth day
for several seasons, has a fine as
sortment of curves and exceptional
control. He gave the opposition but
50 bases on balls while striking out
125 batters in the 272 innings he
pitched during 1910.
