BY FRITZ POLLARD

NEW YORK - They say pride
goeth before a fall, and if this
is true, it should serve as a
warning to some of the big
league teams wwho have be-
come so big and successful that
their teams are much too re-
mote from the front office. We
hear about many of the teams
who are operated by remote
control, with the manager
merely functioning as a puppet
on the field during games. It is
time some of these teams took
a good look at themselves to
see if they have become all
power and no heart.
Take the New York Yankees,
for instance. Only this week
Johnny Mize has revealed how
he was promised by the front
Office that he would be taken
care of" and how he lost a
couple Of managerial jobs wait
ing around for them to make
good on that promise, only to
be let out without that prom
Use having been fulfilled.
OF course, many Vic Power
fan has felt definite resent
ment against the Yankees for
the manner in which the young
star was toyed with. He was
brought up but never given the
chance he should have had.
However, we have recently had
q little taste of poetic Justice
on that score. Power has found
berth with the Philadelphia
Athletics, and recently had a
chance to show what he could
do against the Yankees. Many
fans wonder why Vic was new
er given a chance and some of
them even are saying that per-
hapS they kept the blanket on
him so that he would not have
a chance to overshadow some
Of the other Yankee stars. The
Yanks, of course, felt they
could win no matter what hap

YANKEES

PHILADELPHIA - His name
is Robert Lee Trice and he's on
the pitching staff of the Phi
ladelphia Athletics. He had al
ready won one game and against
the Boston Red Sox. Then this
Saturday, the Is year old
pitcher. BANKED the world
champion New York Yankees.
The score was l to 0.
Young Trice held the Yankees
to six singles. The Yankees
themselves were most impress
ed yet wondered how he did
it. His stuff isn't fast. But he's
quite deceptive, He walked five
yet he had it in the clutch. For
he stranded eight hitting the
peak with the bases full, he
stopped Gil McDougald. That
was the seventh inning. After
that spot, he breezed on
through.
1rlce is a pig fellow 6-3
and weighs 100. From Georgia,
teammates say he carries a
well-thumbed Bible, with him.
His notices were good for in

TREES ENDANGERED
BY BARK BEETLES

If trees blown down or partial
ly uprooted by Hurricane Hazel
are allowed to remain as they
are now, they are likely to be-
come IAN extremely serious
breeding ground for bark beet
les by next spring and. summer.
This warning was issued today
by Robert L. Scheer, who is in
charge of forest tree pest and
disease control work for the De-
partment of Conservation and
Developments Division of For
estry.
Pine stands in many sections
of the State, especially in the
eastern areas, Scheer said, were
already seriously weakened by
the severe drought of the past
two years and the recent hurri-
cane helped compound their
weakened condition. thus max
ing them more susceptible to
attacks from insects:
The Ips engraver beetle,
Scheer said, is now scattered
over much of Eastern North
Carolina.
"This insect" he added, "ordi-
narily causes little damage, but
it has grown increasingly agrees
sive as the drought continued.
This beetle is now killing trees,
which would usually be able to
resist its attacks. The addition of
pines downed or injured by the
recent hurricane could make
breeding conditions so good for
this type of beetle that it might
well cause substantial damage
to our trees"
While the Southern pine
beetle, which is a far more seri-
Gus killer of trees than the Ips
engraver beetle, has not been re-
ported in the area hit by Hurri-
cane Hazel, Scheer said it is
quite conceivable" that the
Southern pine beetle might be-
gin to appear in the eastern sec
tons unless killed or damaged
trees are given the proper kind
of attention.
The Southern pine beetle,
Scheer added, is now known to
be infesting pines in several
western areas and some have
been reported in past years in
the sections hit by the recent
hurricanes.
Scheer urged landowners to
salvage for pulpwood and saw
timber all of the trees that were
downed or damaged by the
hurricane. The salvaging should
be done during TIL winter
months.
Insects and diseases are al
ready damaging North Carolina
woodlands to the extent of about
S10,0O0,0O0 annually and should
a bark beetle epidemic result
from the hurricane damage the
annual losses would be mater
tally increased, Scheer said.
