the original ditch or dry moat
around the Fort was used to build
up the parapet, just as the colon
lists constructed it in 1885.
Harrington says the Fort was
built not for protection from In
dians, as has been so popularity
supposed, but from fear of attack
from the sea by Spanish forces.
The earthworks were erected to
guard approaches from the sea
rather than from the land. Two
entrances to the fort are on the
land side.
There is no evidences of struc-
lures inside the fort, Harrington
says, although undoubtedly there
was at least one small building for
housing the guard and for storing
supplies. Efforts to locate the ex-
act site of the colonists' nearby
houses have not been successful.
The restoration was aided con-
siderably by research which Har-
rington did in England last year.
To this information, he added data
gathered from authorities on old
British Notifications.
1t was at the site of the Fort
that Virginia Dare. the first child
of English parentage to be born
in America, was born In 1887. A
group of 108 colonists who came
here in 1885 built the Fort. But
they went home the following year,
leaving Is men to hold the claim
for England.
The "Lost Colony group came
in 1887 and found that the Is men
had been killed by Indians. Some
of this second group made a trip
back to England for supplies. They
were delayed in returning, and
when they reached Roanoke Is
land they found no survivors. All
that was left was q clue to the
mystery that has never been solved
the word 'tCroatoaR carved on q
tree or post at the site.
This is the story which is told in
the symphonic dranna1

cause it must be supported physi-
cally, financially, morally and spir-
itually," he asserted. His garden
required lots of manual labor, and
his work at the house and in teach
ing and caring for the children
was also work, the defendant
claimed.
After Mr.. Kellogg has been told
by DeFebio that he had arrived in
Dare County on January 6, 1850,
trial procedure was finished.
Before ordering the 30-day SEN
tence, Judge Baum said, "You
have not shown single instance
that you have put a dollar into
your family in over a year."
Court was then dismissed, and
after the hearing before Judge
Meekins downstairs, the defend
ant was taken to Jail. Mrs. DeFe-
bio said in the clerks office that
she was now here to stay in Dare
County and was prepared to re-
sumo her post in the court house
corridor, apparently.
Mrs. DeFebio's sister from Cal
ifornia, whom she had not seen
for 8 years, arrived the night be-
fore the trial. She was in court for
hearing of the first case.

RESTORED FORT RALEIGH
ATTRACTS MORE VISITORS

Manteo.-Newly restored Fort
Raleigh, built in 1885 to protect
Sir Walter Raleigh's tragic "Lost
Colony" and a new display of col
onists' relics are bringing increas-
ing numbers of visitors to the site
of the first English settlement in
America.
Restoration of the earthworks-
the first fertilization built by En-
glishmen in America-was done by
the National Park Service which
has transplanted grass on the dirt
walls to prevent erosion.
The display of relics, uncovered
during archaeological excavations
which disclosed the exact site of
the Fort, is in the nearby Fort
Raleigh Museum. The items in
clude an Indian clay pipe, resem-
bling a modern-day cigar-holder;
an iron sickle which so far as is
known is the oldest English-made
tool that has been found in Amer
lea; brass coin counters dated
1874, and many others.
Visitors Increased 900
During the first three months of
the year, $500 visitors registered
at the Museum and Fort-60%
more than the 4,124 who visited
the site in the same period of
1850. The past travel year brought
1875, 900 to the Fort and Museum.
This summer, thousands more
will come to Roanoke Island to
visit the site and the reenactment
of the story of "The Lost Colony
in Paul Green's symphonic drama
of that name. The Fort is near
the Waterside Theatre at which
the drama will be staged six nights
weekly from June 80 through Sep

Site, says the entire fertilization

Braves Rate
Jethroe, Marquee
As astest Men
In Baseball

BRADENTON, Fla. - GNS)-
The Boston Braves this year pos
sess two of the fastest men in
Baseball. They may possibly be
the fastest men in the world.
They are Sam Jethroe, starting
his second year with the club, and
Luis MARQUEE, who is trying to
take SAINTS centerfield job away
from him after a good year with
Portland in the Pacific Coast
League.
TIE cnl-' known competition
these two men have as the sneea
kings of organized baseball is
Bobby Thomson of the Giants.
1t appears inevitable that these
three will run it out in a special
match race before too many
months have passed.
Coast leaguers claim MARQUEE is
the festest of the three-brt they
never saw Jethroe round first and
stretch a single into a double.
The running. styles of Jethroe
and Marquee appear to knock form
theories into discard. Sam skit-
tiers along, while Marquee has
nice high knee action which is
supposed to mark good sprint
form.
Jethroe appears to generate his
tremendous speed from his feet
rather than his legs. He possesses
long, narrow feet which are at
tached to pipestem legs that are
devoid of bullying muscles but are
a mass of tough tendons.
Right at the moment Jethroe is
playing hard-to-get in the matter
of running a race with Thomson
or Marquee. He established him
self as big league baseball play
er last season. He is content to
get ready for another successful
campaign.
Sam once defeated Olympic
Splinter Barney Ewell in a special
race and he thinks that should be
enough to establish him as quick
lad on his feet.
But Marquee. his roomie thi-
wear, is beginning to show some
fast footwork around the Braves
oamp. Teammates and others may
yet talk the jet into q match.

"We meet all the requirements"
said Leslie O'Connor, Coast League
adviser. There seems to be no

The open" class would permit

ton leagues, raise its own draft
fee from $4,000 to SIS, 900, enable
its players to stay an extra year
(four to five) and give its players
the right of refusal to be drafted.
At present, it is the only minor
league to meet all the require

A to open" classification, a league
must have an aggregate popula-
tion of 10 million, total park
capacity of 10000. no salary

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. T.
Although the minor leagues voted
overwhelmingly to wipe out base
balls 24-hour recall rule, the
statute will remain on the books,
an informal poll of the big league
clubs indicated today.
The rule, which Frank Shaugh-
messy. president of the Interna-
tional League, described as "even
a bigger threat to the structure
of the minors than Nationwide
broadcasting and televising of
major league games" has long
been a sore point with the little
fellows. Their constant cry has
been that the rule robs them of
their stars and kills off the at
tendance.
The rule allows the majors to
recall optioned players by giving
only one days notice. In this
way, the parent clubs can shuttle
their players back and forth at
will.
Majors Also Must Approve.
By a 41-to-7 count, the minor
Leagues voted to toss the rule out
the window. This would mean
that a player, once sent down,
must remain for the entire minor
league season including playoffs.
The majors. however, also must
pass this amendment in order
to kill the rule.
This does not seem likely unless
there is a change of heart between
now and next Monday when the
vote comes up.
A poll of a majority of the big
league clubs showed at least five
clubs in the National League
Brooklyn, New York, st. Louis
Philadelphia and Boston-ano
four clubs in the American-New
York, Detroit, Boston and Phila-
delphia-will vote against the
amendment.
The minors, however. won ar
important point when they votec
unanimously to set up a new
open" classification. This wa!
interpreted as tremendous vic.
tory for the Pacific Coast League
which has been clamoring fol
higher status for years.
Naturally, Coast Leaguers were
jubilant over their victory fol
special recognition. With the an.
ticipated approval Of the majors
