What's Cookin'
By Roy Cook


Out good friend Jack Cowe, City Editor of the Will
ngon News and author of Fishines' has resigned his
noon here and joined the staff of the Point Pleasant
W Va) Register He left the city yesterday afternoon
IN take up his duties
Jack made host of friends while he was member
Of the StarNews family and to this versatae writer goes
the credit for being the father of the Southeastern North
Carolina Fishing Rodeo Shortly after Cowie Joined the
staff Of the afternoon News he became interested in fish
ing His first fishing trip to of the local piers
where he managed to snag couple of small mules but
that enough to give him the fishing habit.
The smell of bait and the tang Of salt water was too
much for this lad from Masson, Ohio and he became an
ardent angler
In the spring of 1916 Cowie had an idea that this
ion needed fishing rodeo He believed that many anglers
from all the nation would here to fish if the
territory advertised This the beginning of the
current $4,000 fishing rodeo.
Cowie managed to find enough time between his fish
ing trips and duties the paper to contact several of the
leading fishermen in the southeastern section of the state
He told them of his idea many just laughed and said it
could not be done. But this Ohio lad stuck to his guns
Starting off with only s1o0, Cowe set his goal at 1900
in cash and prizes.
Several of the leading businessmen and civic leaders
Of this community great future in Cowie's 'brain
Storm and decided to cast their lots with him and his idea
The Southeastern Carolina Beach Association agreed
sponsor his idea and Cowe settled down to several months
Of hard work and planning.
1t this young who contacted most of the
local businessmen and received donations from them He
letters to almost every sporting goods manufacturer
the nation and many sent prizes for the first rodeo
It long and tedious task for Cowie, but he did
swell job and the first rodeo It must have
been for at this very moment anglers fishing all along
the sNC coast seeking to capture of the prizes in the
1947 fishing rodeo This the rodeo is offering prizes
amounting not to $1,000 but $4,000.
Something happened along the way and this year
Cwe left out of the plans for the Rodeo But he did
not lose his interest, he always plugging the fishing
along the SENC coast And every day Jack Cowe could
be found with rod and reel in his hand going one of
ho piers surf casting board of the party boats
deepsea trip
His Sunday column "Fishlines" proved to be popular
and by request of his many readers Jack started writing
daily column for the News
May we wish this lad success in his venture.
Thousands of readers of his "Fishnes will miss him. But
he has the satisfaction of knowing that his idea has
grown from just passing thought to of the bgees
fishing rodeos in the nation.

Major League All-Star
Team Named By Writers

NEW YORK, Oct. 81 -lR-
Six National League players
and four American leaguers
make up the 1947 Major League
All'Star team as selected f or
the Associated Press by 233
baseball writer's throughout the
nation.
Strangely enough, the world
champion New York Yankees
show only one representative
while the Brooklyn Dodgers,
National league pennant win
ners, did not place a single man
on the team. Neither did the St.
Louis Cardinals nor the Detroit
Tigers who finished second in
their respective leagues.
The New York Giants, Cleve-
land Indians and Boston
Braves, neither of whom fin
ished better than third, placed
two men apiece. One represen-
tative from the Yankees, one
from the Boston Red Sox, one
from the Cincinnati Reds n d
another from the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates completed the team. Last
year the American league dom
mated with seven representa-
tives as compared to three for
the National.
Only one member of the 1916
team, the first ever selected for
the Associated Press, repeatd
in 1947. He was Ted Williams,
the slugging outfielder of the
Red Sox who led the American
league in batting, home runs,
runs batted in, runs scored, ex-
ira base hits, total bases and
bases on balls.
No player was an unanimous
choice. Williams, the American
Leagues triple crown king,
drew the most support from the
scribes, being named 209 of the
233 ballots cast. Joe DiMaggio,
the Yankees great centerfield-
er, ranked close behind Will
liams with 207 votes.
Johnny Mize of the Giants.
who tied Ralph Kiner of Pitts
burgh for the home run title of
the major leagues with 81 round
trippers, gathered the third
highest total of votes, 1913
of them for first base, to win
that position handily. His other
two votes were for the outfield.
Kiner, the hard hitting sopho-
more f}ychaser, received 1877
votes to join Williams and Di-
Maggie in making up one of the
hardest hitting outfields ever Sc
lected for one team.
