MEADOWS) One wild inning explains the defeat of the Aulander nine at the hands of the Roanoke Rap ids gang on Wednesday after noon. All the efforts of Aulander's imported hurling marvel would not suffice to stay the bats of Roanoke Rapids' imported team during the ag onizing fifth inning in which five men, one from State Col lege and four from Trinity, crossed the rubber to put the game on ice. With the exception of Correll, the outstanding star of the fray, all the Roanoke Rapids crew were Trinity men and they well upheld the repu tation they have made on collegiate diamonds in the past college baseball season. Sanderson pitched a beauti ful game and kept the six hits he allowed well scattered with the ex ception of the sixth inning, when Butler's single was followed by Bur den's double to score Aulander's first run. He allowed only one other run. Minter walked to start the eighth frame, Jack Johnson lined out to Smith on third, who threw wild to first, Minter going to second. Butler grounded out to first unassisted, ad vancing Minter to third. Burden walked and Castello scored Minter with an infield hit, to be forced at second by Benny Hoggard, ending the inning. Smith started the scoring for Roan . ose Rapids in the third by slamming out a hit to third base. Towe fouled out to the catcher, O'Rourke hit Cor rell with a pitched ball. Spikes walk ed. With J. D. Johnson at the bat, Smith executed a spectacular steal of home for the first run of the game. In the fifth O'Rourke weakened. Af tet Smith had bunted foul on the third strike, Towe walked, Correll drove a liner to center, advancing to second and scoring Towe when Jack Johnson let the ball get through him. Spike/ popped out to Minter. With twsr gone, the Trinity artillery on limbered. J. D. Johnson doubled to center, Turner braced himself and drove a slow one over Butler's head for three bags, English singled to cen ter and H. Johnson doubled to left. Sanderson ended the agony by fan ning. After the smoke had cleared away, it was found thrft five runs had crossed the pan and the game was on cold storage. Except for the disastrous fifth, O'Rourke had the game well in hand. JThe outstanding features of the game were Smith's sensational steal of home and Correll's hitting. Butler in left for Aulander handled himself well in the field.

Protest Again Lodged Against Bridge Plans Mr. Cotton Says Mr. Taylor Is Right In Opposing Chowan Bridge Plans From still another source the HER ALD has received a letter of protest against the placing of the draw in the Chowan river brdge nearer the Winton side than the Gates County shore. Mr. C. G. Cotton, formerly of this county and experienced in navigation, has written the latest pro test. His letter follows: Editor Hertford County Herald, Ahoskie, N. C. Dear Sir:?Allow me to express my opinion, in reference to the much talked about draw bridge to be built across the Chowan river at Winton. I have read the letter to you from Mr. Taylor as printed in last week's paper. The gentleman was talking economy when he said do away with the idea of putting a draw on opening in the proposed bridge. But he evi dently knows very little about mari time laws, in reference to closing or obstructing navigable waters. Mr. Taylor has been criticized for opposing the Albemarle Steam Navi gation Company in:ite efforts to have the bridge opening on the Hertford County side of the river. As I see it Mr. Taylor is perfectly right in his argument, for placing the opening at or near the center of the bridge. - He claims that it will benefit the tow boat man more by having it so placed and I agree with him, for they all disregard channels for short cuts up there. Assuming that a tow boat is proceeding up or down the river during a freshet, it will delay her quite a bit to pull in the channel be fore she arrives, at the opening, and out again after her tow is clear of bridge, while very little time would be lost, in docking one of the Albe marle Steam Navigation Company's ships, with the draw in the center. I say ships because when steamers draw over sixteen feet, they are get ting in that class, and unless I miss my guess, they hardljU draw more than half that much. Of course, some one will say there are river steamers mucfi larger than the ohes now operating on the river, and I agree with them as we have plenty of tow boats that draw 16 feet of water, but you will never see one of them up Chowan river, or any other vessel of that draft unless the gov ernment does lots of dredging, in waters other than Chowan river. There may be more water now bvyt some time ago there was only 12 over the bar. And 1 would like to see a vessel drawing 16 feet ( length and depth in proportion) going up or down Wiccacon River, making the S bend near Tar Landing. The draw should be placed in the most convenient place, regardless of the fact that you will only have 20 feet of water at mean low water, for you will never need that much, even if steamers of that draft could enter the sounds, and river. Better let Mr. Page figure on in stalling the draw, still nearer the shore and save several thousand dol lars. If there is a saving he can only figure it in the transporting of ma terial from the shore to the draw dur ing construction, and $25000.00 is 1 too much for the additional work re quired. I am not a civil engineer, but I am engineer enough to know that it will cost less to con struct a bridge in 20 feet of water than it will to construct same bridge in 23 feet of water, assuming bottom is same in both places. Yours truly, C. G. COTTON. Norfolk, Va., June 19, 1923. HAS LONG SESSION _____ Ahoskie's town council had a mid night session on Monday night.
