WilliamstonSupplyCompany Representative Will Submit Bid Tomorrow GETS GOING Harry Swain, the grandpa of thr league, so they declare, is getting going. Shaking off a nasty case of malaria. Swain says he feels more like a new man. But there is more to It than that. Mrs. Swain and their little boy, Harry, Jr., came to town this week to Join the veteran moundsman, and to be sure, Har ry is doing better on the mound, and, incidentally, off the mound too, so they say. Last year when Mrs. Swain joined her husband, he showed that pep, vim and vigor that figured in 10 victories against a lone defeat. Following the ar rival of Mrs. Swain this week, the old man of baseball has won one and lost none. Can Harry duplicate his last season's record? Wilson Dedicates Its New Stadium Wilson's Tobacconists dedicated their new $76,000 stadium Wednes day afternoon before 2,000 expectant fans. But Snow Hill, furnishing the 3pposition and quite a bit of oppo sition it was, took all the starch out ^f the Tobs with a 9-3 shellacking to make the game a failure from the Wilson point of view. There was general confusion when the Wilson sports editor was cred ited with stating that there would be no fanfare for the game. Many of the less well informed took this at its face value and demanded to see the contest as guests of the manage ment. Officials of the club had a dif ficult time before matters could fi nally be straightened to the satisfac tion of a LI. ^fiiniVi/Mi/ Swimming Bool Doin# Ruthin# Butinrst ? Mr. Ralph Parker, manager of the local swimming pool, reports that the project is doing a good business and that with the coming of real hot weather increased attendance is to be expected. The night period from 8:00-9:30 has been the most popular, possibly due to the extra half an hour for the same price. Head lifeguard, Walter Cooke, as sistant, Dorothy Manning and Mrs. Tom Rose, ticket saleslady, complete the personnel at the pool. All at tendants are well experienced and efficient in their duties.

While there is no definite assur ance that the local baseball park will be lighted, it was reliably learn ed today that the club owners, Messrs. J. Eason and J. Dawson Lil ley, are considering the installation of a 190,000-watt plant for night games A definite decision is expect ed the early part of next week, it was learned this morning. Expected here late today, a rep resentative of the Giant Manufac turing Company. Canton, Ohio, will make a study of the grounds and submit a bid for the installation of the lighting system. The representa tive was 111 Roanoke, Va . yesterday completing the installation of a sys tern there and he is to come direct ly here to talk figures and explain other details connected with the proposed plans. Preliminary arrangements for lighting the park were made this week when a representative of the club appeared before the numbers of the Martin County Board of Edu cation in their regular meeting and gained permission to install the sys tern on school property. The club has a lease on the grounds for two or three more years. No reliable cost estimates have been advanced, but it is estimated that a modern lighting system for the park will represent an outlay of $4,000 or $4,500 If the club owners do decide to install lights, the first night game can be played here about ten days or two weeks after the decision is made. At the present time Williamston and Snow Hill are the only two clubs in the league without equip ment for night games. Favorable at tendance reports have been receiv ed from most of the clubs, and it is thought that attendance figures upon local games will be material ly increased if arrangements are made for night ball. <t> Soft Ball Line-up Almost Completed Plans fur the establlahment of a city Softball circuit have finally ma terialized with four clubs, the In dependents, the V.

Ray Lucas, manager and for mer big league hurler, has been handed his release by the Lenoir County club. The presence of Lucas on the Kin -sten roster biuught the total oT tin-: limited class men working as hurl ers to three, a situation making it necessary for rookies to fill all the nther positions ? It is probable that Bill Herring, former Martin pitcher and now ace of the Kinston mound staff will be offered the job in order that Gene McCarthy, unlimited class first base man, who was recently signed, may be retained. Batting Vacation Holds The Martins To Third Position! Pitchers Perform Creditably | To Feature Work in Past Several Games ? WiUiamston remained in the dol drums of a prolonged batting slump during the past three days losing two of three games played. In every case the pitchers performed creditably, lack of batting punch proving detri mental to the Martins' cause. The Martins journeyed to New Bern Tuesday night and were re-1 pel led 2-1. Berry, ordinarily a lacka daisical hurler, was in rare form as I nine of the ineffectual Martins fan- | ned out. Tallie Dupree, Wake Forest re cruit, produced New eBrn's first score in the third frame. Duber, who had gained first on a fielder's choice and Barnes essaying a double steal, scored on Odinetz's error of an at tempt to catch Duber. A single by Tierce in the seventh destroyed Berry's changes for a no hit game and brought in Sellers for Williamston's lone run. Villepique was caught at home trying to score on the blow. Cherry, lefthanded mound ace for the Martins, elbowed capably, allow ing only six hits, but the Martins were unable to surmount the lead New Bern had established in the third inning. Williamston returned to the vie- | tory column Wednesday but only temporarily as red-headed Harry Swuin limited New Bern to four hits while trouncing them by a score of 2-1. The Martins were meantime able to garner only five safeties off the offerings of Phil McCullough. The Martin County team put the | game on ice in the second frame with a two-run rally featured by a | terrific double off the bat of Charlie Sellers. Frank Holek reached second | on an outfield error setting the stage for the final talley which occurred a few pitches later as Manager O'Malley lined out a single, his only safety of the day. Thursday was a day of mourning] for followers of the Martins as the Tobacconists from up Wilson way took advantage of eight hits and seven walks to take off a six to two decision. Rookie Roy Boles, just off Guilford College, did not show nearly such good form as when he faced Greenville in the finale of a | doubleheader Sunday. The Tobs tallied thrice in the first frame when Manager Rodgers blast ed a homer following two free passes by Boles. Wilson came to life again in the seventh to tally twice more and place an insurmountable bar rier in the path of the Martins. Williamston finally awakened from their lengthy hitting slump to push across two runs in tin* eighth on single by Diem and Albritton and a nice double by Earp. In the ninth frame the Tobs added | another tally, Tarboro Tommy Jlur nette knocking Smith in after the | former had clouted a double. Crea son, the Wilson hurler, then eded the contest with his usual celerity to leave the final score standing at 6-2 (hHiatal Lrafiiir Umpiring About Holding Its Own Coastal Plain umpiring is getting no worse and not a great deal bet ter, but 4t in generally agreed that the circuit is now getting about as good umpiring as the fans should expect ror ihe measly pay they re ceive. After watching that fellow Fred Thomas, from Gastonia, call th" bases here yesterday afternoon, the wolves will hnvp to hnnH it tr? him that he isn't so bad after all. But the fans, especially those in the wolves' section, don't like no lip from the arbiters. And by the way, a stiff warning has been issued to at least one um pire in the league in connection with lip talk released to the cash custom ers. One more verbal outburst and there'll be a change in the line-up of the umps, it was learned unofficial ly yesterday following the Tarboro Greenville game over in the ICdge combe capital Wednesday evening. Joel Tierce Cailed llunic By Wife'* Serious Illness Joel Tierce, the tall Atlantan who has been doing a good job at second base for the Martins this season, was called to his home last Tuesday eve ning to be with Mrs. Tierce who is critically ill in a hospital there. Information received from At lanta last evening stated that Mrs Tierce's condition was slightly im proved, and it is possible that the second sacker will be returning in a few days. Showing much interest in the activities of the Martins since his departure following the game with New Bern late last Tuesday night, Tierce assured Skipper O'Mal ley he would be back just as soon as it was possible. During the meantime, that Red O'Malley is playing a hot game for Eddie Black Sold To The 1ireenville Club This Week Greenville announced Wednesday that Eddie Black, an outfielder from the Tarboro club, had been bought by them. Black, whose price tag was $27S, held down the left field posi tion for the Oreenies Wednesday night. Home Boy Makes Good In the Major Leagues; Jimmy Brown Goes Plaees In Major Baseball World Jimmy In Main Kcusnn For ('artliiiulx' Karlv Season SuccenK A story, interestinK and authentic, about the boy who left home and made good trinkled back this week from the pen of a noted writer of na tional sports. Whitney Martin, staff writer for the Associated Press, states that fel low members of the Cardinals con sider Jimmy Brown to be one of the finest reasons for their team's early season success. Brown, a native of Jamesville, is playing at bus favor ite spot, shortstop, and he forms with Stuart Martin, also a North Carolina boy, a great key-sack combination. Jimmy, who is a former infielder for the Martins, is a switch hitter and has never ceased to trouble ei ther the right handers or the port siders, that he has been called upon to face Martin writes as follows: The St. Louis Cardinals got away to a galloping start in the National league race this season, and although fine pitching is given due credit by most critics, the players have a dif ferent answer. "It's Jimmy Brown," said Out fielder Terry Moore today as be gently caressed a still ballooned ankle in a hotel lobby. "He's been going great. He's at the spot he likes shortstop, and with Stu Martin playing a fine game at second, the combination is clicking." Brown?a modest, handsome youth ?disclaims any credit, lie is free of arm trouble for the first time years, which undoubtedly has much to do with his improvement. He al ways had a tendency to throw too fast too early at spring camp. This year he was told to take it easy, to count three every time he got the ball before he threw. As a result, he can rifle them from deep short to first without a twinge. He is one of the few switch hitters in the majors, and this quality was acquired. Southpaws were curving him to death, so in the middle of a game he decided to switch over, fig uring he had nothing to lose. He told his manager what he was going to do. "Sure, go ahead," said the boss, and Brown proceeded to blast a dou ble against the right field wall. Since them he's switched at the plate, al though he admits lie had trouble getting his chm out of the way of high ones for a while when battjng left handed. Despite Brown's improvement and the great early showing of the Car dinals, St. Louis fans are dubious. It is too good to be true, and they are holding their breaths, and their ad mission fees, waiting for the big ex plosion. They just can't believe the club is that good.
