Win From New Bern
And Tarboroin Only
Affairs To Be Played
?
Haiti Plays Big Part in Caus
ing Three Games To Be
Postponed
?
Timely victories over the New
Bern Bears and Tarboro Goobers
ran the locals' current successive vic
tory parade to two games as steady
all-around play strengthened the
Martins' rather vulnerable hold on
third place.
Ram created much more o( a ha
voc than any thing the opposing
forces could muster, three games be
ing called on account of rain and
wet grounds since tin- first of the
week.
Thursday evening, by virtue of a
5-2 shelling administered the lowly
Tarboro Goobers, the Martins made
it two consecutive victories, behind
the ten-hit hurling of Lefty Cher
ry Dick^wfiiffed ten batsmen m
gaming/lis fourteenth victory of the
season.
Williamston picked up a singleton
in the second on a couple of walks,
a fielHer's ehnire and Big Hank
Spires' single to step into a perma
nent advantage. In the third, after
two were out, Rinmier singled,
w hereupon Villepique connected
with a similar blow, both advancing
another base on the throw. I'appy
Deim then came through in a big
way with a single, bolstering the fra
gile lead by two runs.
Tarboro, meanwhile, picked up a
singleton on four consecutive hits in I
the fifth before a beautiful relay to'
home on Lee's single retired the
side
Doubles by Pappy Deim and Hank
Spires pushed over one more run in
the sixth In the eighth Thoele walk
ed, advanced to third on O'Malley's
single and scored as O'Malley was
thrown out at second; thereby end
ing the night's scoring for the locals
Opening the ninth Cherry was
temporarily in hot water, three
walks and a single forcing in one
tally before the Everetts' lad stiffen
,il to fan three batsmen, and per
manently abolish the diabolical fear
oTTiaviiig Tarboro stage an infre
quent rally to cop the contest.
"Peahead" Lehman and Lee paced
the invaders' ten hit attack, each with
three safeties, while Spires, O'Mal
ley .and Pap Demi were sharing sini
liar honors for the locals with two
bingles apiece.
Solly Myers featured for the Mar
tins with his sterling defense play.
Blasting an ancient jinx, dating
back to the formation of the Coastal
Plain League, that previously had
prevailed practically every time the
Martins journeyed to the Craven
capital. Manager Red O'Malley's
boys administered a 10-9 shellacking
to the New Bern Bears in their home
lair Tuesday night. As in practical
ly every contest with the hustling
Bruins, who have a weather eye on
a coveted position in the post season
playoffs, the lead changed hands
continually.
Williamston blasted Bull Hamon
for three scores in the initial frame,
but four New Bern tallies off Cher
ry and Wade 111 the same period af
forded the homeguard a slight tem
porary margin. The Martins tisik 11a
mah'S mi'ilSiUH1?111 the?succeeding
inza, finishing off the New Bern
e with a two-run scoring blast. In
easing an already formidable mar
n. the slugging Martms disposed of
?fty Archer in a single verse witlr
four-run barrage in the third, fea
red by George Rimmer's tremen
us Ruthian clout with a mate on.
Henceforth, the Martins strove to
otect the seemingly sufficient lead,
it every fanatical effort went for
mglit as two two-run homers by
-nny Roth and Worliss Knowles,
curring respectively in the fifth
id sixth frames drew the once
ipelessly trampled Bears into a
adlock with the haughty Martins.
Settling into a hurler's master
ece after a wild and wooly fourth
ith Worliss Knowles and Bob Em
fumishing the mound opposition,
illiamston finally broke the spell
enchantment by sneaking over a
ngleton in the lucky seventh stan
t.
O'Malley opened with a bingle
lat momentous inning, being in turn
illowed by Thoele's single A time
double by husky Hank Spires,
rove in the skipper with the game's
inning run.
Leaders in the Martins' 15-hit st
ick were O'Malley, Spires and Solly
[yers, each of whom garnered three
ife blows, while New Bern's Red
arper and Swamp Norwood were
iking off similar honors for the
ears with a like number of base

Rallying gamely but futilely the

singletons in the seventh and ninth

vantage amassed by the eventual
winners proved insurmountable

he was expected to lead the Vaga
bonds out of the wilderness, failed
to offset the performances credited
to the several Independents who
persisted in booting the halt when
