Continental League Ties
With Wesl n Carolina
NEW YORK ® — The Conti-
nental Baseball League, which
doesn’it have a player of its own
yet, went about the task today
of stocking an entire minor league.
The Class D Western Carolina
League joined .bag and baggage
with the Conltinenital after being
rebuffed by all the major league
clubs in organized baseball. The
final contracts were signed Sun-
day in Hickory, N. C.
The Western Carolina league
will be unique among the minors:
1. All clubs will have working
agreements with the Continenltal
League, not individual teams.
2. All players will be pooled,
then assigned ito clubs.
3. All teams in the league will
train together .
4. Each team will have 15 play-
ers made up of 11 rookies, 2 vet-
erans and 2 players with some
experience.
5. The Continental League will
pay Ithe salaries of the managers.

underwrite spring training ex-
penses and contribute financial
aid.
“This is a revival of the minor
leagues at the grass roots level,”
enthused Continental President
Branch Rickey.
The teams in the Western Caro-
lina League are Gastonia, Shel
by, Statesville, Newton, Hickory,
Rutherford County Forest City,
Lexington and Salisbury.
Arthur Mann, assistant ito Rick
ey, said, “The teams already
have 40 players and we need itc
supply only 10 more a team. Most
of the new players will come
from tryout camps we are es
tablishing around Hickory.”
Robert Moehnke, 'the Taylor
Ducks’ star center, has sigttec
to play football with the Rice
Owls.
Rice’s end coach, Bill Beall
was in Taylor Tuesday to sigr
Robert to a four-year football
scholarship.
Tuesday was the first day or
which high school athletes be
came eligible to sign any con
tract with a college under the
Interscholastic League rules.
Moehnke will join a former
teammate, Gene Raesz, at Rice
Raesz is a freshman this yea:
and will be playing his first year
with the varsity next season.
A three-year letterman with
the Ducks, Moehnke lettered hit-
sophomore year at 'a center posi
tion, was switched to guard his
junior year, and this past year
was back at center. He played
the center position on offense anc
left end on defense.
A big factor in the Ducks’ driv
to the district championship anc
the bi-district title, Moehnke wa
picked on the all-district team
on the All-Central-Texas team
and was honorable mention or.
All-State in Class AA. He als
made all-district as a guard hi;
junior year.
A comment made by Rice’;
head coach Jess Neely at the an
nual football banquet here helped
Robert decide on Rice. “Neely
emphasized education over foot-
ball. Although they want to be
good at football, they still pu'
education first,” said Robert.
“And, they don’t promise a lot
of stuff that you know isn’t so,
things they can’ t keep, ” he added
Moehnke said he was also im
pressed with the beauty anc
cleanliness of ithe Rice campus
when he was there last week or
a visit. “The students there al
seemed just like we are anct
acted as if they were concerned
about us. And the coaches too
hey were always together,
friendly and concerned,” said
Robert.

Registration of
Boats is Slow
AUSTIN ® — With less Ithar
one month left before the dead-
line for displaying boat registra-
tion numbers, only about a fourth
of Texas boat owners have com-
plied with ithe law.
Under ' the state’s new Water
Safety Act all boats powered by
motors in excess of 10 horsepow-
er must before April 1 display
a number issued by the Texas
Highway Department. The Coast
Guard estimates 212,000 small
craft in Texas will come under
this law, but Bob Bownsley, chief
of motor vehicle and motor boat
registration, said only 45,000 cer-
tificates had been issued by Ithe
end of February.
California Plans
Rubberized Trade
SACRAMENTO, Calif. ® —
California’s track men of Ithe fu-
ture may flash to new records
over a rubberized, all-weather
running track that could be re-
treaded like a tire.
“It has great possibilities,
said Frank B. Durkee of the
State Division of Architecture,
including:
Little or no maintenance; a
tough, waterproof surface which
would remain uniform through
out a meelt, permitting better
evaluation of each athlete’s per-
formance; greater acceleration
for runners.
The state Tuesday called for
bids on the track, to be built at
Humboldt State College on Cali-
fornia’s rainy north coast. It’s
expected to cost about $145,000
and is believed Ito be. ithe first of
its kind.
The conventional clay cinder
track gelts too mushy in ithe win-
ter and needs considerable cost-
ly maintenance, Durkee said.
The new quarter-mile itrack
would be builit of a rubberized,
resilient asphalt mixture consist-
ing of about equal part of as-
phalt, rubber and sand.
Spikes don’t stick in ithe self-
sealing substance, Durkee said.
Becerra Gets
Win Despite
Slow Finish
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. ® -
Bantamweight champion Jose
Becerra held off a game and tough
Ward Yee last night to take
10-round non-title fight from the
little Chinese American boxer.
A crowd of 8,000 — the larg
esit ever to see a boxing mach
at Freeman Coliseum — -paid an
estimated $20,000 to see the world
champion Becerra of Guadala
jara, Mexico, beat Yee, of Los
Angeles.
Yee, who has lost seven of his
last eight fights, weighed 120 and
Becerra weighed 123V2.
There were no knockdowns but
Becerra was in serious trouble
in the last round and many ring-
side fans felt Yee deserved a
draw.
Judge Manuel Williams saw it
99-94 for Becerra, judge Eddie
Lopez had it 97-95 for Becerra
and referee Leonard Zuniga had
it S9-96 for the champion.
'Becerra appeared slow and far
from championship condition.
From ithe seventh round on he
slowed considerably and Yee
picked up strength.

Usually we think of snails as
harmless creatures, and most of
them are, but a few kinds of
water snails in particular make
it possible for - many kinds of
parasitic flatworms to exist.
These flatworms, called flukes
may be roughly classified ac-
cording to the parts of the ani-
mal’s body in which -they live-
lung flukes, intestinal flukes, li
ver flukes, and blood flukes. For-
tunately for us who live in the
United States Ithe flukes are not
of significant medical importance
but the people in many other
parts of the world they cause a
tremendous amount of illness and
death. Even though the fluke is
not a serious parasite to man in
our country, the common liver
fluke does, at times, cause great
damage Ito our livestock. All be-
cause of ithe presence of certain
kinds of water snails.
The setting for this story is on
a sheep ranch along the Gulf
Coast or it could be in the Trans
Pecos section of Texas or some
other part of the country where
the proper snail and vertebrate
hosts are present. We assume
that on this ranch there is fresh-
water inhabited by certain water
snails belonging to the family
Lymnaeidae and of course the
common liver fluke (Fasciola
hepatica) in the sheep. The leaf-
shaped pinkish colored flukes,
about one inch long, live in Ithe
liver tissues or bile duct of the
host; in this case a sheep. Here
they attach by their powerful
suckers and feed on the blood of
their victim. Their activities in
the liver tissues cause a condi-
tion known to the livestock man
as “liver rolt.”
Since the fluke is a combina-
tion of male and female animal,
it produces fertilized eggs and
these eggs are discharged out of
its body in an intermittent
stream almost as long as Ithe
fluke lives. From the bile duct
the eggs move into the intestine,
and then are discharged to the
outside with intestinal wastes of
the animal. If the intestinal
wastes containing the fluke eggs
are dropped in the shallows of
a pond or lake, and if the right
kind of water snails are pres-
ent, then one of Ithe most remark-
able transformations in the ani-
mal kingdom takes place in the
established eight new league
marks.
After tonight’s game, the scene
shifts to Philadelphia Friday
night, back to Boston Saturday
afternoon for a nationally televis-
ed struggle, then back to Phila-
delphia again.
tissues of the snail.
If the water is warm, the fluke
eggs hatch into “fuzzy” micros-
copic creatures called miracidia.
The miracidium tracks down a
snail, several different species of
water snails are suitable, like
a dog trailing a rabbit. When the
miracidium contacts the soft ex-
nosed skin of the snail it works
its way in and usually settles
down in-tissues in or close to the
primitive lung. It then changes
into a sac-like state containing
cells capable of producing ithe
next generation called rediae.
This generation breaks the wall
of the sporocyst and usually
moves to the snail’s liver where
they produce the next generation
of tadpole-like creatures called
cerariae. It is estimated that one
miracidium which enters a snail
can be responsible for Ithe pro-
duction of approximately 300 cer-
cariae.
The cercariae escape from the
snail as free swimming forms.
They soon attach to a waiter plant
by sticky secretions and develop
tough coating over their bodies.
In this cyst or dormant stage, as
long as moisture covers the body,
they may remain alive until eat-
en by one of several suitable
hosts such as a sheep, horse, cow,
rabbit, or even man. When the
cyst stage enters the intestine of
the host, the young fluke emer-
ges and burrows into Ithe delicate
intestional lining. It usually gets
inlto the body cavity of its vic-
tim and wanders around until it
reaches Ithe liver tissues which it
enters and finally becomes es-
tablished.
In one year (1947) when work
was being done along the Gulf
Coast it was estimated that along
the coast there is a yearly loss
of 44 tons of condemned livers and
58 tons of meat that is unusable.
This total does not take into con-
sideration the death rate among
calves, sheep, and curtailment
of milk supply caused by this
parasite.
To break the chain ithat lipk
the life necessity from livestock
to pond and back to livestock the
snail must be destroyed. Fresh-
water snails can be killed by ithe
use of combinations of. copper sul-
fate and copper carbonate in
amounts toxic to the snails but
net to fish or mamalian life. An-
other chemical called sodium
penitachlorophenate (santobrite)
kills both snails and snail eggs,
but must be used with care,
since, even though net toxic to
mammals, it kills fish in amounts
over one pant per million parts
of water.
finished a distant
year.
“The National League is so well
balanced that any first division
club would win,” said Hemus to-
day. “Look at what Los Angeles]
did last year—all the way from
seventh to first.”
Last year the Cardinals ranked
second in the league in hitting
at .269 but were seventh in runs
scored.,
“That means we didn’t have the
power to knock them in after we
got men on base,” said Hemus.
“So we went after power. We got
Carl Sawatski from the Phillies,
Bob Nieman from Baltimore and
Daryl Spencer and Leon Wagner
from San Francisco.
Musial, as usual, is the Cardi-
nal key. He figures in a slightly
different manner this season. The
big question is can he still do
the job? Musial toyed with re-
tiring but was talked out of it.
At 39, he will play first base.
Hemus will give him as much
rest as he needs. If Musial can
bounce back from that .255 year
and' play 100 games, the Cardinals
should be better. If he can’t make
it, Hemus will be ready with a
series of switches.
At the moment, White (.302)
is the center-fielder. One of the
four first basemen on the club,
his bat must be in the lineup.
Hemus thinks he can do the job.
Joe Cunningham (.345), another
first baseman, will be in right
field with Nieman (.292 at Balti-
more) and Leon Wagner (.225
at San Francisco) plattooning in
left.
If necessary, Cunningham will
be returned to first base. Curt
Flood (.255) is an accomplished
center-fielder. Other outfield pros-
pects are Ellis Bruton (.292) at
Omaha) and Charles James (.300
at Rochester).
With Musial on first and Ken
Boyer (.309) at third, the end's of
the infield will be familiar. Spen-
cer (.265 at San Francisco) re-
turns to his favorite position at
shortstop after playing second
for the Giants. Grammas, a short-
stop who hit .269 last season, has
moved to second with Eddie Stan-
ley as his tutor.
George Crowe (.301), Wally
Shannon (.287) and Dick Gray
(.314) are the extras. Young Rob
Kabbes (.267 at Tulsa) has looked
good and Gene Oliver (.244) will
be available as a handyman.
Hal Smith (.270) is the No. 1
catcher with Sawatski (.293 at
Philadelphia) as a left-handed'
pinch-hitter and second catcher.
Darrell Johnson (.218 at Rich-
mond) probably will be the third.
Larry Jackson (14-12), Vinegar
Bend Mizell (13-10), 20-year-old
Bob Miller (4-3), Ron Kline (11-
13 at Pittsburgh), Bob Gibson (9-
9 at Omaha) and Ernie Broglio
(7-12) are the likely starters.
Lindy McDaniel (14-12), Marshall
Bridges (6-3) and Bon Duliba
(0-1) figure for the bullpen. Bon
Keegan (18-10 at Rochester), Mel
Nelson (9-9 at Tulsa), Jim Dono-
hue (8-7 at Omaha) and Dick
seventh last, Ricketts (6-10) at Rochester) are
fighting for jobs.
