Dixie Parker Studying Contracts And Players' Records Selection Of Players Proving Big Problem Pitchers - Catchers Are Expected Here Over the Week-end Training On Limited Scale To Get Underway Here Next Tueaday Averaging nearly 400 miles a day for two days, Dixie Parker, the Mar tins' new skipper, drove his little pick-up truck into town late Wednes day. a bit tired, to be sure, but safe along with his two cats, bird dog and groundskeeper. A third cat, en joying a short stop along the high way. expressed its preference and turned back to Green Pond, down in Alabama. "The last time I saw him he was making about 30 miles an hour over the hill in the direction of home," the skipper said, adding that he did not mind losing the cat, but that he did not want to tell hi* wife about it. Delving into the 1940 player con tracts, Parker readily realized he had a problem on his hands, and up until today the problem has not yet been solved. There are more than 30 players on the string, the skip per explaining that the classification ruling would eliminate quite a few of them, but the ruling doesn't say which ones to let go and which ones to keep, and "that's the problem." "We hope to have a pretty definite line-up by the early part or middle of next week," the skipper explain ed * Six pitchers, all of them rookies, and four catchers, rookies also, are Still Looking For That Ninth Umpire In League Unofficial reports state that Ray H. Goodmon, president of the Coast al Plain circuit, is still looking for a ninth umpire. Declaring it is really more difficult to get good umpires that it is to get players, the league head states that a ninth umpire con tract is due in his office next Mon day. "Hie name was not disclosed scheduled to report for training next Wednesday. Several of them are ex pected in over the week-end. The main training season is slated to open on April 9, Parker pointing out that he felt certain he could whip his team into shape for the opening on April 25 and even before, if necessary. Resting up from his long jaunt up the country, Parker left for a player search in and around the Bi-State territory today and to complete some player trades. He plans to return late tomorrow or Sunday and be ready for starting the season grind Mon day. It is apparent that the skipper is not rushing into the 1940 schedule Each act is considered at length and all the evidence offered by the rec ords is being carefully weighed be fore definite action is taken in sign ing or releasing a player. It is also apparent that the new skipper is al ready worrying along with Presi dent Lilley in handling the assign ment resulting from the new classi fication ruling. "We hardly know what to do, but we are out to build up a winning team if we can, and while our decisions may not be con sidered the best at the start, we are hopeful they will stand up under the tests," Parker added.

The curtain-ringer of the season was a fierce battle all the way, and the few who were present saw one of the best games of the year. It marked the second time in two starts the Martins ha.ve tak.en the Rebels into camp by a one-point margin, the first game going into an over-time period, while lhe..Iocals^ were ahle To skim by this time in the regulation game. The game opened fast, with both teams hitting the hoop rapidly, and at the end of the first quarter the Martins were in the lead 12-10. How ever, in the next period the Rebels shot out in front, 26-19, as they stall ed the Martin offensive down to 7 points, and then rang up 16 of their own, to hold a seven-point lead at intermission. With a possible defeat in their fi nal appearance of the season staring them in the face, the Martins put on the steam in the third period, and brought the score into a 32-all tie as the quarter ended. The last period was really nlp-and-tuck, as the lead varied by only one or two points, with both teams at times holding the choice position. The Martins were on the long end when the final whistle blew, and thus they recorded their 34th win of the season Grady Love, one of the finest cen ters in this part of the state, led the Rebels in their gallant battle, as he turned in a fine floor game and also scored IS points to take scoring hon ors for the night. Jack Goldstein, with 12. was next for the losers. The Martins were paced by their versatile forward, Fenner Wallace, with six field goals for 12 points, and Center Jeff Grant with 11. Anderson, with 8, was third. Pap Diem, Jack Manning and Ace Villepique ranked in that order as the also rans. This was the most successful sea start preparations in and around the training camp next week tor opening the season on April 2Mh with Tarboro at Tarboro. Haj)|>eniiigs In The.

The parents voted in favor of con tinuing the practice again this year.

"A Ready Made Family," will be presented in the school auditorium tonight at 7:45 o'clock. There will be no charge and the public is cordially invited to attend. The play holds promise of being one of the best farce-comedies ever presented in the school. The play centers around the union of a "ready made family", brought about by the marriage of Mrs. Agnes Mar tyn (Vera Williams) and Henry Tur ner (Cecil Brown). Each has chil dren that pint to hreuk up 4he mar riage. They try everything, having fits, talking about operations, steal ing things, and chasing people with an axe Miss Lydia Martyn, the old maid sister-in-law (Elizabeth Man ning) complicates things even more. Her unsuccessful attempt to scare the new additions to the family is very comical, especially since she frightens the colored handy man, Nlcodemus (Joseph Daniels) so bad ly that his hair "stands out as stiff and straight as darning needles." Be gonia (Martha Roberson) the color ed cook, does her part very well in furnishing humor. Grace, the 11 year-old problem child (Georgia Dean Roberson) leads her new step son that any of the Martin basketball teams has had, as their percentage for the entire campaign was .756 The line-ups: Martins G F T Anderson, f 4 0 8 Wallace, f 6 0 12 Grant, c 5 111 Villeplquo. g 10 2 Manning, g 2 ?(h ?
