Ocracoke, Feb. z. - Ocracoke

to the sea buoy seeking aid for a
sick man aboard. The local 49,

Buxton Clinic was waiting to take
care of him, and then transported
the man by car to the Marine Hos

helicopter, which is the usual
means of taking sick people off
the Island could not be used due
to the dense fog that morning.
Meanwhile the S. S. Redstone had

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, Mar.
IS (R.-A sports-loving minister
has written an open letter to
Freddie Robinson telling him to
be proud, rather than ashamed,
of the "bonehead" tag which his
grandfather, the late Fred Mer-
kle, lived with most of his life.
The 67-year-old Merkle died
at his home here Friday.
Although a major league ball
player for almost two decades,
he is remembered primarily for
a base-running mistake at the
start of his career which ulti-
mately cost the New York Giants
a pennant in 1908.
The Rev. Paul Edris, pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church
in Daytona Beach, wrote Mer-
kle's grandson in Pierson, Fla,
an open letter which appeared
today in the Daytona Beach
ews-Journal.
The minister wrote, in part:
II don't know you, Freddie.
But 1 hear that you are about
is years old and that you like
to play baseball I also hear
that a fellow made crack at
you not too long ago about your
grandaddy's 'bonehead' and that
it made you angry and hurt your
mothers feelings.
Now here is where I, total
stranger, want to put in my 2
cents worth because was
Fred Merkle's friend.
Freddie. your granddaddy was
"a man. A real man. He carried
the hurt of injustice inside him,
for the most part, all those years
He never dashed back at the
people who followed the crowd,
which can often be cruel, and
who hung the name of Bone
head on him. He didn't let it
throw him, either. After that ia

Sievers, Cal
Narrow Salary
Gap to $500
BY a Star STAFF Correspondent


ORLANDO, Fla. Mar. 5.-Roy
Sievers, holdout first baseman
said today that a difference OF
500 is keeping him from sign
ing a Washington contract, but
that he promised to give Cal
Griffith, president of the club
a definite answer on his latest
proposition later in the day.
"Cal came UP a bit in his
latest offer" Sievers said after
a So minute conference with
Griffith last night at the Sena-
tors hotel headquarters in ada
cent Winter Park. "He asked me
to think it over and I told him
I'd give him a definite answer
today"
Indications were that Griffith
had increased his offer to $l8,-
500, with Sievers whiting his
demand to $4,000. Until their
meeting last night, there had
been a $4,000 breach. with Roy
asking $22,500 and Cal bidding
SIT, 500. .
Sievers was in a merry mood
after his talk with Calvin, re-
naming around the hotel to talk
with his teammates. Before the
meeting Roy had seen a headline
saying "Sievers Threatens to Go
Home" and said, THAT might
happen tomorrow HAWKINS
