Coach Caruso pulled him in avor of Ted Fipps. The first nan up hit a ground ball that vas errored, resulting in one ■un crossing the plate. This end- he Fair Bluff scoring for the lay. The first two Fair Bluff uns came as a result of errors ind a wild pitch. Fipps whiffed he next two men to retire the ;ide, and continued the no-hlt itreak until two were out in the ast of the eighth. Then Wad- iell, second baseman for Fair 31uff, connected for a scratch ingle between first and second ο break up the no-hitter,

Tabor Niners Drop Game To Whiteville Team The Tabor City High baseball

nine lost Thursday, 7 to 4 to a

Whiteville nine in the first game of a two out of three series for the District 2, Class A title.

The Whiteville nine took ad- vantage of errors in the fourth inning by the TC nine to score six runs and wipe out the 3 to 0 lead the local boys held in the first three innings of play. The Whiteville team scored one run in the ninth to wind up their scoring.

The TC boys scored once in the first, twice in the third and once in the sixth for their four runs.

Fred Soles drew the hurling assignment for the TC nine and went the distance, allowing nine hits and whiffing eight. Soles hurled a nice game but errors on the part of his teammates were too much to cope with as he lost his first start of the season.

Ted Fipps and Orbin Fowler led the hitting attack for the Tabor City team. Fipps had three for five, giving him seven for 10 in two games. Fowler had two for five. Inman with three for five and Anderson with two for four led the Whiteville at- tack.
