The park lights remained on. just the business office, press box and grandstand lights went on the blink. That threw the public address system out of order, and nothing could be done about the pre same ceremonies. Former covernor V. Kerr Scott pitched the first ball, but people who did not know what the Governor looked like probably do not know til now who he was.

Several dignitaries were supposed to make brief talk and the players were to have been introduced before the hometown fans. All that had to be cancelled. Tile power company fixed the lights about ten minutes after the actual game started and everything clicked like clock work until the game was over. The clock stopped ticking then. The microphone cord was inadverdently ripped from its socket on Uic way to the ground where the number, of the winning ticket for the Cadillac was to be drawn and announced.

Tickets sellers were halting the already slow moving lines to sell another ticket. No one knows how many hundreds turned back and went elsewhere.

It didn't make too much difference anyway, there was no more room in the park. The five came Iosinc streak the Pirates opened with it might be six by the time this reaches print has brought the usual and expected repercussions. The fans have already gone into a panic and wonder when the Pirates will win their first game, or even if they will win a game. The loss to Fayetteville Friday night was the third in a row. Thousands saw the game.

The next night, the attendance was only 522. It will probably get lower before it gets' higher. Fans are funny, especially Alamance County fans. teams will Tonight's schedule has Fayctte cs today, setting thc stage for some mighty struggles tomorrow, worthy of finals billing rather than merely the second or third round.
