in the busy South State Street Of

Scores of persons watched as the

with an exposed wire carrying g.
300 volts of electricity. Warren

working with Hurd, called the
plant to turn off the power, and

REMOVING SPAN DEBRIS
Two Big Derrick Boats at Chesa-
peake City Clearing Canal

A second huge derrick boat went
to work on the wreckage of the
Chesapeake City bridge over the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
last week and U. S Army engineers
supervising the clearance, predicted
the waterway would be opened for
traffic within few days. Knocked
down by tanker July 28th in
what, until an official investigating
board makes its report, is termed
an accident, the bridge rests on the
ship and with it effectively blocks
the channel. Ferry service for pc
destrians living in and near Chesa-
peake City divided by the collapse
of the bridge was started. A small
power boat is being used. All mo-
tor trajc, however, must detour by
way of Summit Bridge. Army en-
gineers are convinced, it was stat
ed, that the collision of the tanker
with the bridge pier-a blow which
brought the entire structure down
into the canal-was an accident.

Among those from Smyrna who
viii participate are Thomas Ken

field; Ollie Loose, catcher; Rip Mill
er, Bird base; Harold Hopkins, out
field, and Raymond Lafferty, pitch
jer. With the league being equally
divided with three clubs from
Maryland and three from Della

was adopted four years ago with all
games being plyaed under the
lights heretofore. This years con-
test was shifted to daytime
game because of wartime condi-
tons and Denton was chosen as the
site for the fourth annual contest.
The game was originated to help
defray expenses of the league
which is purely on a pass-the-hat
basis. All clubs share equally in
the receipts. Tickets are on sale
by all clubs. There are only six
clubs in the league this year. The
Delaware clubs represented are
