It was the !!3rd eonsecu tive loss ftir rarboro, the consistent losing streak establishing some sort of a new record in baseball. Last night the boys got a lot of errors out of their system when they went on a rampage and the scorer credited them with five miscues. Timely hitting by the Martins and costly errors by the Goobers brought the O'Malley boys from behind and carried them to their second victory in as many days. Holding to third place in. the lea gue standings by u margin of only five points, the Martins are enter ing the last lap of the season with a hard row to chop With seven clubs still in tlu- race and not but four (fetches for them to roost on, it can he seen that a hot fight is brewing for claims to a ranking position in the top division Their field under water, the Snow Hill Billies will play their "home" game here tonight at H:15. The two clubs will meet here ugain tomorrow night at^ the same hour with the Martins playing tfieTnhnjMrostsr;? Hed Swain, the old jinx buster, op portunely hurled his fifteenth vic tory of the season to break the Mar tins disastrous losing streak im mediately after ir had leached the alarming total of three consecutive games. Eleven batsmen attempted lutilely to solve Swain's slants, al though only four found any degree of success, the redhead pitching one hit ball over the rest of the route after a shaky start made possible the trio of safeties in the initial inning Tarboro's gloomy Goobers, erst while Serpents, seemed destined ti march to victory for the first time 111 twe nty-two games as a three-hit barrage, leveled at Pitcher Swain in the- initial frame, Lehman's double Coyle's single- and Burnett's two base blow, resulted in two tallies w-hich seemed to have an air of de ciding the issue.

Sustaining the temporary appellation "Snakes" or 'Serpents" in direct relation to a term generally applied to former Manager Fred Henry, the ever pro gressive officials of thz.- Tarboro club effected another forward step when in an official statement the nick name "Goobers" was chosen to here with represent the club. Manager Stumpf, impatient at the lack of appropriate names accom panying the contest recently publi cized in this papi-r. and made at tractive by a substantial cash prize for the best submitted nickname, waa not stumped as he easily designated the new nickname. The new and popular pilot gave his chief reason for selecting Goo bers, another word for peanuts, the opinion that something more in keeping with this immediate sectior would meet a much wider approva and stated that next year uniform! would be so decorated.

Snow Hill's home run twins, Joe Bistroff and Harry Soufas, continue potent with the heavy stick, being deadlocked with twenty four apiece for individual honors. A sensational streak engineered by hustling George Hi miner, of tins. Martins, shows signs of furnishing some stiff. opposition to the leaders in this line, however.

Flora, formerly with the Golds boro Goldbugs, won ten games last season while losing, 11. Although he was with a weak second division club Flora especially proved a Jon ah when called on to oppose the Martins. One hundred and seventy batsmen whipped helplessly into the atmosphere against his deliveries, causing him to rank second in the entire league in this respect. Fits of wildness placed one hundred and forty men on base via free passes. The portsidcr worked two hundred and one innings in thirty games, proving one of the most willing workers in the entire circuit. O'Malley, when questioned as to Larry Wade's status, said that the case had not yet been fully consid ered, but that for the time being, the laundry man is still under sus pension. Flora was recently with the club at Snow Hill where he asked to be released.
