The week-end saw some really high spots, in the game, but the contest over in Goldsboro Sunday kinder was recognized as a dark, spot, but it wasn't so dark as to cast a shadow over the Martins as they continued to rank as one of the ma jor clubs m the circuit The Martins have been drawing some rather difficult assignments, ahd altei competing with two of the up-and-climbing clubs, Wilson and Goldsboro. they are slated to battle IVaheud Walker's aggregation on Thursday and Friday "of this week. Plenty of action is featuring the schedule and an intensified play is to be expected when the Martins and Billies meet the latter part of the week. The Williamston Martins inaugur ated night play successfully last night when they defeated the GoldSc_ boro Bugs 6-3 behind 11-hit pitch ing of Dick Cherry. Nine hits went for the six tallies as the Martins showed possibly the most timely hitting of the season. Goldsboro reached Cherry for two runs and a seemingly impossible lead in the fourth frame. A three run party coming on consecutive triples by Kimrner and Mvcrs. intrr?ipor*t"H by Earp's single put the game in the groove from the local point of view. Trt the last of the eighth Pappv Diem, seeming to have a premoni tion of Goldsboro scoring, clouted a tremendous home run following a walk and Rimroer's single, and turn ed in three scores and settled the outcome of the game for posterity. Immediately after the contest Pap Diem was quoted as saying that the Messrs. Lilley Brothers had present ed to focal fans* the finest lighted park in the league. Bob Emer was perfect on all save one occasion Saturday afternoon but his lone mistake, a home run ball to Andy Anderson, cost him the de cision.

Spiers, new first sucker, and Rim mer. were the most masterful of the j Martins with the ashe as each rack ! ed up two hits. Old Man Swain pitched beautiful I }y in the finale to end the Tobs' reign |??1 superiority, and assisted by ten timely bingies the Martins' star sat ! down the home talent 4-2 while dol ing out only seven hits, all singles. Karp and Swain led the Martins j with two safe blows apiece. Four Martin hurlers proved futile j-us-4W -lucai*- sustained -a 15-4 drub bmg m Goldsboro Sunday The Bugs raked Khodes, Wade, McCarthy ind Swain for 17 hits and clinch* the decision with a five-run outbur I in me second frame Chapman, of the victors, was touched for eight safeties, but he retired seven Martins via the whif fing route and only passed two bats m< n in hanging up his sixth-win?as against four losses Readers in the Martin attac which was dwarfed by the Hurricai of Goldsboro's power, were Ea and Kimrey witn two hits for fi< attempts with the stick Capps.

The Louisville Slugger trophy, an i actual-sized sterling silver bat, is awarded to the hitter, regardless of classification* who compiles the best batting average in the minors. , The Spalding cup, a beautiful sil ver figure of a batter in action, mounted on an ebony base, goes to ! the fir&t-year player with the high j est mark. It is possible for a rookie to win both the prizes, and it has been done in past seasons. i To* be eligible, players must par ticipate in at least 75 per cent of their team's games This eliminates llukey averages compiled in a few I contests The hitters must prove tneir ability over a reasonable span.

The "dream" game is scheduled for July 24 and is to be played in the home park of the team leading in the pennant chase at mid night on July 15th Owing to a ruling regarding the el gn i'itj "f managers for participa tion in the All Star game. O'Malley will not be behind the bat, but Smith of Greenville, and Anderson, of Wilson, recently purchased from the Kichmond Colts for $1500 and re membered as the lad who engineer ed Emer's downfall Saturday, are expected to substantially bulwark this extremely important position. The infield is composed of tried and proven performers who are mori than competent in the intricacies ol hitting and fielding and proficient to a high degree in all departments of the game. Taylor Sanford, Wilson heavy weight, is firmly entrenched on the first sack and figures with his tre mendous bulk to provide a suitable target for the hurried throws of the infielders. Functioning around sec inid base will be the smoothest key sack combination in the league, Sol ly Myers and Howard Earp, who sparkling double play work in the past few days, punctuated by a bril liant fielding and timely hitting def initely earned the honor of partici pation in the contest. By virtue of his consistent and heady play, the Red Headed Skip per selected Jenkins, of Greenville, to handle the work at the hot corner and complete an infield which con tains few flaws. The three outfielders are to be sc si leeted from a group of four includ ing Black, of Greenville, the man who can't figure out Red Swain's de livery, Smith, of Wilson, until re cently leading the league at bat with his heavy budgeon; Lee, of Tarboro. and Villepique, of the Martins O'Malley selected the Ace after a hasty consultation of the runs bat ted in record in which Villepique is extremely valuable, and a memory of the many games in which the tide was turned by seemingly impossi ble catches made to look easy by the same Villepique. Strength of the club is probably concentrated to a higher degree in the slab staff more than in any oth er group. Swam, of Williamston. with 11 won and 4 lost, and King, of Greenville, with a 12-4 record, are the leaders in the highly formidable group of mound artists. Also avail able for duty are Creason, of Wilson, and Donovan, of Tarboro. Group A consists of Williamston, Greenville, Tarboro and Wilson, all of whom an: represented on the ros ter by tour lavorile sons except Tar boro. The Edgecombe club has only two players listed in the personnel. Peahead Walker, manager of the "B" team released his line-up today at noon, as follows: Mullmax.
