Martins Flying High Considering
111 Luck and Numerous Setbacks
Steve Lakatos Expected to
Return to Line-up
Tomorrow
lo spite of the fact that the Wil
liams ton Martins have little or no
chance to crash into the play-off
series of the Coastal Plain league,
they are doing fine considering that
ill luck has brought great worry to
the officials as well as the players
during much of the season
Williamston's latest catastrophe
occurred Sunday afternoon in Tar
boro when Peahead Lehman crash
ed into Steve Lakatos. who was cov
ering first on a bunt. Lakatos suffer
ed a serious sprain and spike cuts
but is expected to return to the line
up tomorrow

only to leave after three or four
runs were scored from their offer

Martins had won another game from
Tarboro Saturday afternoon, the
Snakes came through with a rally
that put thefri on top H-6 when the

cox and two errors. With a mate
on base, Steve Lakatos homered to

before being relieved by Larry
Wade, and was credited with the
loss. He struck out five and walked
three during his stay
The Little Man Earp was head man
with the stick, getting three hits for
four trips to the plate.
Very Tough, My Friend
Sunday afternoon, Tarboro kept
slipping up on the lead the Martins
had built for Pitcher Charlie Wry
until in the ninth frame, they went
ahead to score the winning run
The score was 4-3
Manager Wry pitched the entire
game for the Martins, allowing only
eight hits, while walking two and
striking out one.
Howard Earp, leading hitter for
the third successive day, had a per

The locals' first two runs came in 1
the fourth when George Bowen hit
one over the fence to score Peewee

other two counters.

VEPCO Wins From
Surveyors, 6 to 4
VEPCO and Independents
Scheduled to Play on
Thursday?5 p. m.
Behind the hot (weather) pitch
ing of Billie Bobbitt and with the
, able summersault fielding of "Cas
ey" Dickens, the VEPCO hot Shots
scored a 6-4 victory over the Mar
tin County Soil Surveyors on Taylor
Field here yesterday afternoon. The
mercury was pushing toward the
high iun*lu>s, and it was a hot game.
Cobb, Price in person, and Good
mon did all the errors for the Hot
Shots, but the "Tape Worms" went
them one better with the aid of
Bowen. Manning, Cookie and John
son.
It was a mound duel, the 10 safe
ties garnered off Jack Manning and
the seven off Bobbitt not being at
all representative of the stick pow
er neiti oy the bailers. Han and Hail
held the batting honors.
Incidentally, it was the first soft
ball victory for the Hot Shots.
Heartened by the win, the VEPCO
boys have accepted a challenge of
the Williamston Independents for
a game Thursday afternoon at five
o'clock. The admission is nothing,
but plenty of "entertainment" is
guaranteed.

New Faces Appear
In Martin Line-up
New life was added to Williams
ton's baseball team yesterday when
Bob Windley, young Suffolk man,
took his first assignment on the
mound against Goldsboro and Leon
Rawls, young son of Mr. and Mrs.
Jesse Rawls from out Bear Grass
way, played errorless ball at second
base for Steve Lakatos who is out
with a bad foot injury.
Bob, brother to W. C. Windley of
the Columbian Peanut Company
here, pitched four-hit ball until he
was relieved by Red Swain in the
seventh. He fanned seven, but was
liberal with free bases.
Leon Rawls, star on various com
munity teams in the county, handled
three chances perfectly at his as
signed position, and while he failed
to register with the stick, he knock
ed two balls into park outskirts. The
young man tried out at third base
for the Martins early in the season
and while he attracted attention at
th&t time, the management withheld
an assignment on account of his
youthfulness.
Another mound recruit for the
Martins named Joseph, is due in to
day from Philadelphia. Joseph was
picked out by Manager McKechnie
of the Cincinnati Reds.
