 He swan to the tank and join. ed Mueller in clinging to the cleats by which the tank had been fastened to the boat.
 Aga said he and Mueller clung to the tank, trying to get partly out of the water onto the tank but being unable to. About z the next morning Mueller weakened and let go and Aga loosed his hold and swan and got him back to the tank.
 Mueller kept asking 'how much longer will it be?' ," Aga said, and he tried to encourage him. "I told him to hang on, it would only be half hour more." Mueller had 8 revolver with him which he gave to Aga and which they hoped could be used to signal. Once around 5 o'clock they saw more boat lights but did not shoot because they were too far away.

Bill Coleman of Red Springs
American Legion Juniors held
Wilmington to a scant one hit by
Homer Brewer yesterday after
noon, and with his teammates col
lecting six bingles behind him,
Red Springs salvaged the second
game of their series with the locals,
9 to 0. The contest was called in
the seventh inning, because Of
rain.
1t was Red Springs all the way,
as the visitors grabbed a one
run lead in the first stanza, when
Duncan Futrelle, Wilmington pitch
er, walked in Cenoly.
That lone tally could have given
the w%esterners the win, but errors
by Wilmington in the fourth and
fifth frames, plus four bases on
balls. raised the count to nine,
and the Springers took it easy the
rest of the way-one boy deliberate
ly striking out at a sure wild
pitch.
Coleman struck out one, walked
four, in shutting out the locals.
The tall youngster also played his
position exceptionally we'll, max
ing four putouts, n on a double
play.
The two clubs play the third of
the five games series today in

Red Springs takes the Eastern
championship, and tangles with
the western winner for the North
