NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-Help,
help! Like the famous golfer
who went to hades, the soldiers
down at Camp Croft, S. c., have
a swell driving range but virtu-
ally no practice balls. Capt.
Robert G. Stephens, jr, forwards
the sad news that hundreds oil
soldiers have been turned away
within the past two weeks and
unless several thousand usable
balls can be acquired right away,
the sport likely will be dlscon-
tinued. Golfers near Camp Croft
are doing their best, but that
isn't enough. What's needed Is
for some organization to run
drive to collect a real supply.

With BILL ACKERMAN

Both the Potomac and the Sus-
quehanna are the spawning grounds
of shad and striped bass. Protec-
ton not only is desirable, but also
necessary if recreational fishing is
to continue under the heavy load
of present-day angling.
Carolina Coast Rules Vary.
Some anglers are fishing the
North Carolina coast, but only un-
der strict regulation. At Oregon
Inlet, so Bill Sharpe tells us, both
boatmen and anglers are required to
be identified, which means they
must have that little Coast Guard
card. Fishing in the surf is per-
mitted only during daylight. The
same regulations prevail at More
head City and Beaufort. while
around Jacksonville fishing shippers
are permitted anywhere except
within military reservations.
Permits are required at Browns
Inlet. In the Wilmington area
commercial boats are not allowed to
carry anglers. either as paying
guests or as crew. Fishing from
the beach is permissible at any
time SO long as lights are not used
at night. Some inlets below are
closed to any kind of activity.
Coast Guard installations along
the Carolina coast, as well as along
the beaches above, are responsible
for the various regulations. 1t
hardly is likely they will be eased
for the duration More stringent
ones may be expected.
Most anglers aren't complaining
about losing a choice stretch. They
are going on to find other, and often
better. grounds.

Taking things lightly-Major
league clubs that think they've
had troubles with twilight games
lasting too long, should listen to
this one about a Lynchburg-
Newport News double-header in
the Virginia League. The first
game was a long one, inter-
rupted by rain, and the clouds
made things so dark it finally
had to be called because the unp
ruled a game started by daylight
couldn't be finished under the

turned on and the second tilt
began. But by the second inning
of the second game, the sun was

cries during the week ended January

WASHINGTON, June 23-Secre- tary of State Cordell Hull declared this afternoon that the sinking Of the Argentina freighter Rio Ter ereo, 120 miles out of New York, is one more instance illustrating the policy of frightfulness and ter rorism the German Command is undertaking to carry out on the Atlantic.
 Secretary Hull made the state ment at a conference with the newsmen and said that according to official reports the 4800 ton Argentine vessel was attacked and sunk in broad daylight thus elim- mating the opportunity of the Nazis to hide behind the pretext the vessel could not be identified.
