DiOrio Slugs Home Run, AS BUGS Gain Full
Game On Dunn; Two Errors BY Gull
len Costs Johnny Shutout

SANFORD, Aug. 12.-Larry Di-
Orio, substituting for the slumping
Roy Lamb, split the hero honors
with pitcher Johnny Edens here
Monday night, as the Wilmington
Pirates climbed one full game
ahead of Dunn-Erwin and three
and one-half behind Angier-Fu-
quay, beating Sanford, 7 to 8.
DiOrio slammed out three for
four at the plate, knocking n of
Stones fastballs over the left field
fence for his second homerun of
the season.
While DiOrio was slamming the
ball around, Edens hurled a bril-
liant three-hit game, being robbed
of a shutout, when Andy Cullen
errored twice in the eighth inning,
and Sanford scored three runs aft
er his miscues.

the Red Birds.
Pee Wee Reese hunted safely to
start the rally. Pinch-hitter Dick
Whitman singled and Reese scor-
ed the Brooks first run when Goody
Rosen let the ball get away from
him and Whitman went to third.
After Giant pitcher Ken Trinkle
retired the next two batters, Carl
Furillo walked and Augie Galan
singled to score Whitman with the
tying run. Dave Koslo then replac-
ed Trinkle and Pete Reiser greet
ed him with a single to count Flu
rillo with what proved to be the
decided marker

BUGS play Clinton in a game
starting at 7:45, Business Man
ager Bert Kite announced yes

his last duel with them. The
Blues may pitch either VAN

Andrews. Local fans have
been clamoring all season for
the two ex-big leaguers to
meet in a pitchers duel, but
MungO has not taken the hill

The council is set up to serve all State
agencies. Its first work was on a 38-
page booklet, Alabama Turkey Talk
giving farmers information on how to
raise turkeys.
The copy was ready for the press when
1t was submitted to the council. The
council appraised it by its formula. Less
than 20 per cent of the farmers in Ala
bama, it determined, could understand
it. So the council and the author re-
vised or simplified it so that at least
so per cent of the farmers could grasp
it all.
The aim of the council is also, Of
course, to increase the appeal and hui
man interest of such publications with
simple cartoons and illustrated facts
an adaptation of the comic book idea.
The farmer can have his funnybone
tickled while he learns.
Farmers" says DR.. Irvine, need a
fundamental knowledge of world mar
kets, economics. conservation practices.
But how are they going to get it if
they can't read and understand the
stuff that's put out for them?"
The answer, he says, lies in the es-
tablishment of such agencies as the
Alabama Research Interpretation Coun-
Gil, to make knowledge gained by scien-
tific research available to the greatest
number of people.

as an aircraft carrier.
In all directions were rows of mer-
chant ships. In one long file were 40
ships anchored alternately stem and
stern together. The paint was worn off
on many as the result of battering by
weather, while some still showed wounds
inflicted on the Murmansk run or while
delivering supplies to the beacheads of
Africa, Italy, France and the Pacific.
Past these motionless ships and others
coming into the wharves of Norfolk
and Newport News, the big tanker moved
on like sheep being shepherded by

The tanker'S tiny crew lowered their
personal effects and clambered down a
Jacobs ladder to a shortbound launch.
Preparation of the vessel for storage
began.
All doors were closed by the storage
feet superintendents and all matches
or other openings that would admit rain
were covered. The cargo holds and

leakage or immediate fire hazard. ALI

Power Circuit Laid
Early in Electric Age

The company planned furnishing mo-
tors up to 20 horsepower that could be
used for driving all kinds of machinery,
such as hotel elevators, fans, sewing
machines, printing presses, etc. The
circuits for power and incandescent
lights were then being laid in different
parts of the city. At that time it seems,
the heavy copper wire used was not
insulated, which caused the residents
some alarm, but the company assured
no danger would be incurred since over
20 companies were then using the same
system, without accident or complaint,
showing that it was entirely safe.

wanted competition, because it meant
reduced rates, and the Potomac Cos
request was granted. One of its first

However, the United States Electric
