TRAP

the Oregon Inlet ferry does not
operate from dawn to dusk at
this season of the year.
Asa Gray of Waves, bust
ness man who uses the ferry
service frequently pointed out
this week that the first south
bound schedule at present does
not begin until 7:30 about two
hours after daylight begins and
the last ferry northbound leaves
the island of Hatteras about two
hours before nightfall.
"You might as well call the
situation a trap" declared Lud-
lam, who emphasized that the
stories anglers and others who
have been left on the southside
of the inlet are not "doing the
Dare coast country no good pub
lie RELATIONSHIPS"
= Another complaint which Lud,
lam says~i is less important, but
still annoying, is the fact that
anglers using the new parking
area at Cape Hatteras Point on
road paved a few days ago
have been getting stuck in the
soft asphalt.
This situation will continue,
according to State Highway of
ficials until the recently paved
driveway from the Mays Head
Hatteras Road to Cape Point is
completed. The pavement now
is only in the initial stages. In
a few weeks it will be aeriated
and made harder and it is likely
that the parking areas will
eventually be reinforced with
stone," it was stated.

here light and then letting my
self build up.
II was in good shape by the
time we broke camp last year
but it was a rough struggle.
Working off those pounds in
the sun takes a lot out of a
fellow, especially at my age. This
year I got it all off before l
came down. Now I won't have
to weaken myself"
Might Be Cards Year.
Like most Of the Cardinals.
Slaughter thinks this might be
the year for the boys to get back
into the World Series gravy. He
knows a great deal depends on
him. His 800 hitting in 1852
was a big reason for the Cards
third-place finish.
Slaughter hit such a hot pace
in early season that he was
voted to the All-Star starting
lineup by the fans. His season
totals showed 101 runs batted in
and II homers, his best year
since 1949.
To the -hustling Slaugh-
ter, selection to the All-Star
team is the highest possible
honor. He had made it nine
straight times, discounting a
three-year interruption for war
service.
I'D sure like to make it TO-"
he said. But that's up to the
fans. I'll be in there battling
for them all the way"

Carroll Should Have Its Year
Despite Loss in Priory Finals
Only a 500 average team this

Only a 500 average team this
season, John Carroll's fortunes
on the basketball court should
pick up considerably in the next
two years.
Made up Of sophomores and
freshmen, the Lions finished
fifth in the Catholic League with
q ga record and had an overall
season mark of 1912.
I'm satisfied with the re-
suits this year." Coach Bob
Dwyer was saying yesterday
after the team lost in the finals
of the Priory Invitational tourn-
ament. These boys are playing
together for the first time and
they're bound to make mistakes.
They need experience and in a
couple of years they'll have it.
Carroll probably will not enter
the Priory tournament next year
as the event mainly is for the
areas smaller schools.
Lions Lack Experience.
In losing yesterday to St.
Mary's of Annapolis. 1922, the
Lions ran into a well-coached,
sure-handed. team. The winner
simply had the experience that
Carroll lacked.
A pre-tournament favor;te. st.
Mary's was off to a fast start
and led at the end of the first
quarter, 11-2. So effective was
its zone defense that Carroll was
unable to score from the floor
until five seconds of the second
quarter. st. Mary's repeatedly
broke up CAROLS passing
Throughout the game, but par
ticularly in the early stages.
This was the advantage needed,

as the two teams thereafter
were fairly evenly matched in
scoring.
Norm Finkle and Dave Belcher
led the winners attack with 10
points each, while Joe Starke
and Bill Hessler, each with IL,
were high for Carroll.

For Terps' Rifle Team

The University of Maryland s
rifle team fulfilled all pre- tourna-
ment hopes by winning the Nat
ional intercollegiate champion
ship with a record ,442 out of a
possible 1900, the National Rifle
Association announced today

Slaughter is the same old story.
The 36-year-old country boy
looks better than ever.
There are no signs of wear
and tear on the oldtimer, unless
it's his receding hairline. The
blue eyes still sparkle. The iron
legs still churn up the base
paths. The old give it all you've
got" spirit still burns brightly.
Last year they honored Slaugh-
ter as the comeback of 1882"
He appreciates the thought but
he doesn't think it was a. come

I've never been away, buddy"

every day and give it everything

TAMPA, Fla, Mar. 9.-Gus
Bell is happy to have escaped
from Branch Rickey's double
talk" to a team where runs bat
ted in count for something in a
fellows record.
The Gay ar-old outfielder
was traded to Cincinnati by the
Pittsburgh Pirates last October
after series of difficulties with
Hickey about his attitude.
II never could figure Mr.
Hickey out" Bell said. Here's
Mr.. Hickey. the general man
ager, making quotes about his
own club finishing eighth on
merit. He said I had a bad
attitude. What kind Of attitude
can a guy have when the gen.
eral manager says things like
that?
Cared More About Farms.
Don't get me wrong on Mr.
Hickey. respect him. The only
thing 1 have against him is I
think he cared more about his
farm clubs than the big league
team.
You never know when you're
pleasing him. I'd go in his Of
flee. after waiting for an ap-
pointment for two weeks, and
come out wondering what he
said. He leaves you stranded.
I'd say to myself What did he
say? What does he want me to
do?' I didn't know whether he
meant I was getting to the park
