-, Dare Mainland Waters
ahnss Harbor.-W. S. White,
local game protector and owner OF
Whites Cottage court and motel
reportedsthat fresh water anglers
Ehad been doing okay in the waters
of East and South Lake, at Ali
gator River tributaries and in the
road side canals.
They've been catching plenty OF
bass and bream," he said. "Some
of the bass have been going to five
and six pounds"
Biggest Bluefish Taken
Buxton.-What the natives of
this fish famous Cape Hatteras
region were saying was the largest
b1uefish landed with rod and reel
since the big run of the fabulous
"Hatteras Blues" of twenty years
ago, was caught Sunday by native
Cantwell Miller, Jr., in the surf
here.
George Fuller of Cape Hatteras
Cottage Court officially weighed
the fish and took its measure
ments. Scaling at eight and half
pounds, the giant blue measured
30 1/8 inch from tip to tip and Is
inches around its girth. Miller
lured the fish with a hunk of null
let bait on 81 pound Golden Dot
Line loaded on a Penn Squider
reel. He was using a Calcutta rod.
Miller also caught three small
channel bass but neither weighed
as much as the big bluefish which
the natives were saying was the
largest since the Hatteras blues
blitzed the waters here during the
middle 1930s.
Fuller also reported several
other catches made during the
week end. He said that G. E. Glass,
Marion, N. G., and Raymond w.
Smith of Raleigh caught eight
small channel bass ranging from
six to IL pounds each and bushel
or so whiting.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. C. Dorman of
Durham, surfcasting in the same
general area where Miller landed
his big blue, reeled in an even
dozen founders, scorer of whiting
and several blues, some of the
blues going to three pounds each.
William Meeker, Harold Wick, J.
J. Lenassaur and Capt. Guy
Stringer of Baltimore were also
"noong the anglers catching fish in
the surf here during the past
week end according to Fuller's re-
port, but they had their best day
of fishing with Capt. Oliver O'Neal
! aboard the cruiser Albatross off
Hatteras. Trolling in waters just
south off Diamond Shoals and out
towards the Gulf Stream the party
landed 60 blues averaging about
two pounds each: For lures they
used feathers, spoons and bones.

KITTY HAWK TAKES LEAD
IN BASEBALL CONFERENCE
Young Pirates Find Themselves in Envia,
bic Position After Hard Work

BY virtue of consecutive vic
tories over Manteo and Wanchese
the Kitty Hawk Pirates have NOV
ed into first place in the newly
formed w. H. Fry Baseball Confer
ence. The league, named in honor
of the Manteo baseball coach, is
composed of boys from the 9th, 7th,.
and Sth grades of the Kitty Hawk,
Wanchese, and Manteo Schools. Y
The season opened on Wednes-
day, May 4th, at the Kitty Hawk
field, with the Manteo Cardinals
taking an easy 7-2 victory over
the Pirates. On the following day,
a surprisingly improved Wanchese
team gave the Manteo lads deci-
sive 14-2 beating. Dixie Walker, a
truly fine pitching prospect, had
little difficulty with the usually
hard-hitting Manteo team. ~
On Friday, May 9Th, playing
their third game in as many days,
the Cardinals were beaten 1915
by an inspired Kitty Hawk team.
At the end of two innings of play,
the Pirates held an impressive To-
lead and appeared coasting to
their first conference victory.
A determined Manteo nine raj
lied for seven runs in the third to
tie the score. Finally in the top of
the seventh Kitty Hawk exploded
for four more runs to win out by
a score of 1915.
Highlighting the game was a
tremendous 300-foot home run by
Pirate out-fielder Bobby Sullivan.
Monday, May 9th, the Kitty
Hawk boys journeyed to Wanchese
for an important game which was
to decide first place. In the second
inning the Pirates sent % men to
bat, scoring total of 16 runs.
However, the Wanchese lads re-
fused to admit defeat. Dixie
Walker took over the pitching
chores in the Bird, and thanks to
the collapse of two Kitty Hawk
pitchers, his teammates tied the
score 17-17 in the 9Th inning.
In the top of the 7th, a two base
hit by Foster Spruill and single
by third baseman Gary Parker
brought in a run. Earl Bryan took
over for the Pirates and held the
Wanchese boys scoreless in the
last of the 7th to give his team
mates a well-earned 1917 victory.
The conference standings as of
Tuesday, May 10th, are as follows:
