The installation of lights for night games in the local baseball park has been delayed, Mr. J. Eason Lilley stating this morn ing that delivery of the eight 75 foot poles promised day before yesterday could not be effected before tomorrow. All other equipment, including almost a carload of reflectors and trahs furmers, has been delivered and made ready for installation. With a holiday scheduled the early part of next week, it could not be determined today just when the lights would be ready, Mr. Lilley stating that the in stallation work would be rush ed as rapidly as possible. Present indications arc that the Martins will be under the lights here possibly next Thursday or Fri day nights. Seller* Has Been Playing With An Injured Rib Charlie Sellers, speedy left field er for the Martins, has been playing u nder a severe handicap these pa few weeks However, a cracked rib. sustained in u desperate effort to tick! a fly ball near the fence in Cloldsboro two weeks ago last Wed nesday. failed to keep the gritty young fellow out of the line-up. Yesterday an X-ray revealed the extent of the injury and O'Malley immediately ordered a rest, placing Tierce in left field until a complete cure can be effected. One-Run Margins Keep Locals Out Of Win Columns Willi Myerit-Earp Combina tion. Martin.- Are Certain To Advance i ? ?r ? The newly found Wilson jinx pre dominated again Thursday as Larry Wade dropped a hcartbreaker to the Tubs by a 1-0 score. An absolute dearth of hitting when men were on the bases spelled defeat for the lo cals when a safe blow would have pulled the game out of the fire and occasioned great joy among the faithful. Three vital positions were occu pied by strange men Thursday as Tierce covered left field, Solly My ers cavorted around the keystone sack and Lewis capably handled the first basing duties. Tierce robbed Sanfordof a certain extra base with a miraculous catch against the gymnasium m the sixth inning The Martins tU ice had wonderful opportunities to score when the bases were filled with only one and two men away, but the lack of punch prevailed and as a result ten of the locals found themselves stranded on the basepaths. Wilson tallied in the fifth frame on Jirak's single, an error and Schuerholz' safe blow. Villepique with three hits and Rimmer with two of the same varie ty led Williamston with the stick but once established on the base paths they did not receive the help necessary to complete the circuit. The Williamston Martins snapped their ridiculously long losing streak with a 4-1 victory over Tarhoro on Tuesday behind the six-hit pitching of Lefty Dick Cherry. Donovan, hurling for the erstwhile "Serpents", also was touched for only six safeties hut errors "f his mates in the cru cial spots deprived turn ot the vie tory. in nit" sevona iranu* wiuiamsion packed the sacks and Donovan fore i'd in a tally when he walked O'Mal l?'y, but the splurge ended as the next three batters were retired via the strikeout route. Tarboro put together two singles and a walk in the same stanza for their lone score. Another uprising in the sixth oc casioned by two errors and Ville pique's triple was good for two runs and the game Williamston's six hits were divid ed evenly among three players, Ville Pique, Karp and Dung each with two safeties. Pitcher Donovan, of Tar boro, also with two safe blows, was the only Serpent to tsrike more than one time. The Martins helped to make the dedication of Wilson's new stadium a tremendous success Wednesday af trmoon as they returned to their losing ways, sustaining a 5 4 drub iing at the hands of the rampaging Wilson Tobacconists. Red Swain, the old master, was the absolute boss of the home team until the sixth when a hit by Jirak, a walk and an error were good for two runs. Williamston produced singletons in the fourth, fifth and sixth stanzas to gain a temporary lead. Diem was good for the initial tally u, the fourth with his fifth home run in four days. That's some slugging. George Rim mer s double, followed by Ville ,-Pique's siugle meant aiumirihc suc _t;L**ding inning and, newcomer Solly Myers double and Roomer's single in the sixth verse was good for an -lilflor score Wilson knotted the count in the seventh and proceeded to settle the issue in the eighth when a walk and two hits preceding a slashing drive by Ear) Carnahan pushed over the wanning score. Villepique smacked a futile hom~ er in the ninth after the fat had al ready been drawn from the fire and the Mai tins were again the bottom dog. George Rimmer with three?nts in four attempts celebrated his return to the outer gardens as Lewis, the new recruit, took over the first bas ing duties and collected one safety in his two tries with the ashe. Facing a generally improved op position these past few days the Martins have hardly had time to set tle down their changed line-up and strike their strides that is cxpecte a"'d "Ttain to come. Other team chalking up victories at the expens of the Martins, had no license to tak the bacon and when one run margin separate losses and victories there i not a great deal to worry about With the Myers-Earp eombinatioi clicking on second and short and i new hand on first, the Martins stil have a keen eye on high places ii the league, and when the boy., agaii focus their eyes on the ball there'l be some climbing in the circuit. -- Breezy Beaird, signed with Green vtlle just a few days ago, was releas ed^ yesterday by Manager Rube Wil ADMINISTRATRIX NOTIfF z>r^kVm* quali'ied as administratrix ?

Pittmun, Lion Mainatay* la First Casualty During This Season The rampant Independents in creased their city softball circuit advantage to one full game Tuesday afternoon by soundly trouncing the Kiwanians 11-3 behind 10 hit hurl ing of Jack Manning, who as a pitch - er is a good first baseman. Led by Rose, with a home and a triple in three urns and Crafty Cowen with three safeties in five attempts with the ashe the youngsters climbed aboard Dr. Wilson for 13 safe blows and a lead in the early innings that was never threatened. The Independents tallieji twice in the second frame and added five more in the fifth to securely fasten he bag on the vicory. In this stanza successive singles by Sullivan and C. Malone followed by an error of Fowden's hot grounder, Cowen's triple, singles by Manning and Ed wards and Hardy Rose's-long triple were good for the five runs which successfully clinched the contest. The two runs in each of the sixth qnd seventh frames were anticli matical and had little to do with the actual outcome of the game. first tally in the initial frame when Manning passed Reg Simpson and was in Uirn greeted by Griffin's hot single Long John was well night un touchable from this point until the eighth when hits by Spencer and Wilson and an error were good for he final counts of the day. An interesting coincidence occur red in that the Kiwaniass tallied the first and last runs of the contest but failed miserably at producing the necessary scores at other times. The game between the Growling Lions and the Kiwanians, scheduled for Wednesday afternoon was post poned due to inclement weather and it is unknown at this time when the contest will be made up. C.

League President Speaks la Wilson Occupying a prominent place on the program centering around the dedication of Wilson's new $711,000 stadium Wednesday afternoon, Kay H. Goodmon, president of the Coast al Plain league, made a short but timely talk on the game of baseball. He mentioned the celebration com memorating baseball's 100th anni versary and said "from a hack lot game for boys it has grown into one of the greatest team sports in the world. It has marched side by side with the development of a great na tion." Baseball "helped more than any other single thing to "develop our sense of fair play, sportsmanship aggressiveness and drive," the loop head added, concluding with: "For 100 years it has been Ameri ca's pastime?and passion For a solid century, it has brought despair to Mudville?joy to Middletown. "Let us do honor in Wilson to Am erica's pastime, and passion. It's ev erybody's game, everybody's party. Play ball?America." limmie Hroicn /* Cutting A Figure For St. Loui? Jimmie Brown, a resident of Mar tin County, after a poor start at the bat this season, has finally pushed his average above the .300 level. The pride of Jamesville is now hitting nifty 308 for the St. Louis Cardinals in the National league playing cap ably at the shortstop position for tljp pennant contending Cards. Brown has scored 34 times from his lead-off position and has com piled a remarkable record in runs batted in with twenty-four of that species, which is one of the most val uable means of identifying the worth of ball players.
