Edenton In Eleven
Inning Battle. 6-5
Gurluutl Wynne llurls Third
Straight Victory For
Williuinston
The Green Wave nine won its third
victory of the season yesterday when
they defeated the strong Edenton
High, 6-5, in a contest that went 11
frames. Garland Wynne, who had
previously pitched scoreless victor
ies over Hobgood and Robersonville,
endured the grind for all eleven inn
ings to give his team its third vic
tory of the current season without a
loss JoJo Thigpen stepped out in
front with the scoring honors, hav
ing four of the locals' total of 14.
The Green Wave opened the scor
ing in the first inning when Thig
pen. who singled, was scored by a
double by H Wynne. The locals held
the one run margin until the fifth
inning when Edenton went into the
lead with 3 runs to their credit. In
the sixth the Green Wave tallied one
score, and then tied up the ball game
in the last of the seventh 3-all.
Edenton made the outcome of the
long contest look gloomy for the lo
cals in the tenth when they opened
up to score two runs- But the Green
les came back fighting in their half
of the tenth to tie the score at 5-all.
In the last of the eleventh inning,
S. C Griffin opened with a single
and was advanced to second by G.
Wynne's sacrifice bunt. Cullipher
was given a frye ride to first when
he was hitbyapitched ball. J, Thtg
pen single to right field but Griffin
was tagged out at home leaving Cul
lipher on third and Thigpen on ?ec
and two SUt Boyk? broke up
the ball game at this point with a

Famous T-Bone Crash
Pictured above is Captain Bonnie i
Walker making his famous T-Bone
crash into the side ol a blazing auto
mobile. This will be one of the fea
tured stunts of Suicide Hayes and
his Hell Drivers in their perform
ance here Sunday afternoon begin
ning at 3 o'clock. The American le
gion is sponsoring this great .event.
Suicide Hayes Will
Bring Troupe Here
Sunday Afternoon
Sunday-mill bo mora .Hum. )uU*iu
other show day for "Suicide" Hayes,
the devil-may-care Hell Driver from
Georgia, because at the Williafaston
fairgrounds Sunday atfernoon he
will try out two stunts which if suc
cessful, will be used in his shows this
season.
As "Suicide" puts it, a successful
stunt is one that he can come out of
without a broken neck, and although
he has been successful ever since he
left a Georgia farm to take up stunt
driving he keeps stretching the point.
Featuring hiy show will be a jump
tempt to better his own record of
fourteen, and the head on collision,
climaxed with his sensational roll
over.
Sol Kaufman, business manager of
the troupe, declares that the troupe
has polished up its program since
last season and is working out
stunts for Sunday which will be used
at fairs as far north as St. Stephen,
N. B.
The world's champion and his Hell
Driving troupe gave a daring per
^ormance in Williamston last year
and packing 'em in and a capacity
crowd is expected at the show Sun
day afternoon Other stunts are as
follows:
Big Slim Carter, 24-year-old dare
devil from Roanoke, Va., will place
a board over his stomach and lie on
his back while Hayes drives a 3-ton
truck over him at high speed. The
youthful stunt man has tried this
stunt only twice and has been injured
previously.
That was last season in Greensboro
and since he has had the whole win
ter to recuperate he will go on with
the stunt Sunday. He%was injured
because the track was muddy and
the truck slipped, the back wheel
running over his long legs instead
of the board.
Big Slim will also do the slide off
the back of a speeding automobile
onto the track, using no protection
whatsoever in accomplishing this
hazardous feat, but to make the stunt
the track will be ignited and he will
slide into the flames.
In jumping through two board
walls, Hayes will place one at the
end of the ramps and the second ten
feet farther, so that his car will be
almost completely enveloped in
flames
The daredevil set his 14-car jump
at the track last year coming out
with nothing worse than a bad shak
ing up and a demolished automobile
which he had to sell to junk, al
though it was badly delapidated be
fore he started.
