ship, the San Delfno, British
owned, was laden with high test
gasoline bound for Liverpool when
the enemy sub got her about 20
miles north of Diamond Light
ship Station Buoy during late APP
ril of 1912. He was the fourth en-
gineer aboard the ship. Other
members of this crew, including
as l recall one Maldwyn Jones,
gun crewman, and others came
ashore on Core Banks and were
buried in Morehead City. When
only the skeleton torso of anoth-
err body came ashore on May 81
here at Cape Hatteras, it too was
buried with military honors and
listed as Unknown.
FurOr in Portsmouth
The British military subjects
who lost their lives on this side
of the Atlantic and were buried
at various points along the At
lantic Coast came in for news
story at Portsmouth in Virginia
last week. A relative of British
er buried there alleged that the
graves were not being cared for
properly. Photographs in the Nor
folk newspapers on Sunday show
ing the burial site in Evergreen
Memorial Cemetery did not reflect
lack of attention, even though the
report may have caused an upstir
in British circles. The graves
there apparently are unmarked.
The same thing may have hap
pened here if Columbus Miller had
not taken the trouble to mark the
two graves in the plot near the
Coast Guard station. 1t may have
also resulted in unmarked graves
on Ocracoke Island where two
British military subjects and two
unknown persons were buried in
May of 1912. But on Ocracoke Is
land where the section base was
then under construction, the T. A.
Loving Company made crosses
and attached bronze plates for the
graves.
Sub-Lt. Thomas Cunningham
and Seaman Stanley Craig of
Inns Bedfordshire, which myster-
iously disappeared with all the
crew, are the two known bodies
in the Ocracoke graveyard. 1t was
impossible to identify the other
two bodies when they came ashore
many days later, due to the state
of decomposition. The last two
bodies were identified tentatively
as members of the crew of the
Bedfordshire because of brand
markings in the neckband of Brit
ish naval sweaters on each.
Catholic Services
The bodies at Ocracoke were

given Christian burials aided by
the Coast Guard, the rites be-
ing performed by a Protestant.
Later when Mrs. Cunningham
wrote from England to determine
if a priest of the Catholic church
had performed the ritual, we were
in position to answer the question
and explain why. But in the mean
time, a Roman Catholic Chaplain
assigned to the section base, did
conduct memorial services on
May 80, 1913 for the Britishers
buried on Ocracoke.

Disapprove Transfer Of Fisheries Control To Territory

Tt is not believed that the Ter ritory of Alaska should be in- vested with the responsibility of regulating and administering the fisheries in advance of its admis- sion to statehood" the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries was informed this week.
 The statement was included in the Department of the Interiors report on Delegate Bartlett's bill providing for the transfer to the Territory of the control over the salmon and other fisheries of AL aska, except the fur-seal and sea- otter fisheries.
 "This Department" the report signed by Acting Assistant Secre- tary of the Interior Mastin G. White declared, ''haS strongly urged the enactment of legisla- tion providing for the statehood of Alaska and it has been my view that responsibility for man. agement of the fishery resources ultimately would be assumed by the State of Alaska, subject to

games are played according to rules outlined in the Official Lit tie League Rulebook.
 According to Leek, Little Leaguers outdraw professional teams in many minor league towns. Everywhere the project is conducted as a volunteer commu- nity project. In Palmer, the Moose are sponsors. Other towns have Eagles, Elks, the Chamber of Commerce, the American Legion, and host of other service clubs as sponsors of Little Leaguers.
 Little League is Big League Baseball adapted to the mental and physical capacities of the boys of our nation, according to information put out by the na- tional headquarters in Williams port. Wherever there are boys, there is a place for Little League with it's program of good health, good sportsmanship and good cit izenship for the youth of Ameri- ca"

whatever limitations the national and international implications of the Pacific fisheries might inn pose. AS there is every likelihood that the Congress will take favor able action on the statehood bill, and in so doing will undoubtedly provide for the transfer of admin istration of the fishery resources to the new State, in my opinion it would be both unnecessary and unwise to provide for a transfer at this time"

winners of the Little League Tournament to be played off dur ing the three days of the Fair is on display at the FrontierSman office this week.
 Playing in the Little League Tournament will be the three top Little League teams from An chorage and the Palmer team. In Little Leaguers' ranks are found boys from age nine to 12. The local taem has been sponsored this year by the Moose organiza- tion. Under the managership of Jack Leek, the boys have been practicing every Wednesday ev- ening in the Playground ball park. Joe Curtis has been lending a hand with the coaching also.
 Interest in the project initiated in Palmer only this year has not yet reached the fever stage, ac- cording to Manager Leek. The trouble is that up until this time the boys have had no competition. Although Anchorage Little Lea guers have had several teams with which to compete locally, there have never been enough boys turn out for Palmer practice ses- SionS to organize more than one team. Anchorage teams have also l layed visiting teams from Fair banks and other communities.
 Playing with outside teams involves transportation for the boys, Leek said, land most of the men in the Valley have been too busy this summer to volun- teer it."
 First Game Sept.
 Saturday, September 1, at 10:30 a. m. the Little Leaguers of Pal mer will play their first real game of the season. The tenta- tive team lineup will be an- nounced in next weeks paper. Two teams will play Saturday, two Sunday, and the winners will play in the finals on Monday. The loving cup will go to the winners of the finals. The winning team will be permitted to keep the cup until next year. Not until team wins the cup three years in suc- cession does it get the cup flor keeps"
 Boys Big-League Baseball
 Little League Baseball is a na- tional baseball innovation which has swept the country in the past year since it was incorporated by a group of men interested in Jan uary 1850. Actually, the idea was originated in 1888 at Williams port, Pa., by Carl E. Stotz who is president of the board of directors and first Commissioner of Little League Baseball, Inc. The amaz- ing growth of Little League Base ball with leagues organized in cities all over the nation and in Canada, Hawaii, and Cuba, has been little short of phenomenal.
 Little League Series
 Although Little League Base ball has it's own world series, it is significant that it continues everywhere as a community pro- ject. According to regulations prescribed, the game is for boys under the age of 12. Each league is unit in itself and consists of no more than four teams. Teams consist of F uniformed players, not more than five teams of whom should be 12-year-old players nor less than three of whom should
