fans started leaving when Carl Sad
ler. Beaufort, approached the plate.
He spanked a single to left cen
ter off Sermons, John Willis was
hit by a pitched ball, and John
Hamilton strode to the plate. The
remaining fans started screaming
for John to plant one, and the fans
.began to pour back into the sta
' dium.
I John was up to the moment,
hitting a double to center to tie
the game up. But Sermons, cool as
ice, now had to face Buddy Willis,
one for four, but plenty dangerous.
Buddy Strikes Out
Buddy struck out, to the mixed
joy and disappointment of the
partisan crowd.
Sermons opened the . 10th,
grounding out from catcher to
first. Guthrie hung around for a
free ticket, but was forced at sec
ond by Larkee.
It seemed all over but the shout
ing. Freeman was up and he was

left field to score Larkee. He died
on second when Bass popped to
Parkins.
Jackie Page of Kmyrra-Harkers
Island, opened the East 10th

Have heard many complaints
that the new bridge takes longer
to get over than the old one did.
Well here are some of the reasons.
Came across Friday eve at 7:10.
The barriers were down, and about
a half mile down was a boat Well,
it seemed ages till it got to the
bridge and after it went through
the bridge still didn't close.
Reason, there was another boat,
almost out of sight coming. So we
waited 8 minutes and 30 seconds to
be exact. Now the traffic by this
time was backed up most to Cher
ry Point Also, it seems an eter
nity from the time that the bridge
closes 'till the bridge tender lets
