The exercises will be brief as the game is scheduled to start promptly at four o'clock. On the eve of the opening of the season. Manager Dixie Parker.isn't saying much. Thert are yet one or two wrinkles to be ironed out, "but we'll be in there ready to go when the bell rings," the new skipper de clared, adding meaningfully, "and 1 hope the score is 6-2 in our flavor " Dixie plans to open with the fol lowing line-up as closely as possi ble: Mundo. second base; Newman, third base: Keller, centerfield: Mot tola, first base; Thompson, right field; Kozak. left field; S toiler, short - stop; Albritton, catcher; Swain or Bartnick, pitcher. Muttula im Hot yet rtpflflM, but he was to have left New York today. Newman, coming here last week-end, will be assigned third base and Ko zak will take over left field. Newman was voted the best third basaman in the Bi-Statc League last season, and is a valuable addition to the Mar tins Manager Parker isn't very opti mistic over the prospects but "we'll fight 'em to a finish and do the best we can," he said.

Describing the pedestrian problem as "an ugly blemish" on North Caro lina's accident record, Hocutt point ed out that 331 pedestrians were kill ed in the State last year and anothei 1,021 were injured. In the country as u wholi?last year, 12,470 pedes trians were reported killed and 293, 810 were reported injured. One oui of evary three persona killed in mo tor vehicle accidents were pedes trians "Apparently," our pedestrians arc as much in need of education and regulation as our drivers," declared Hocutt. "We must not only teach pe destrians safe walking habits, but must also demand of them the same strict observance of traffic laws thai we demand of the driver. "The pedestrian has been pamper ed and spoiled. He receives no ticket for 'parking' absent-mindedly in the roadway. He is not picked up foi reckless walking when he zig-ragi across the street between Intersec tions. He is not taxed or licensed and has to meet no special requirement! before being permitted to use the streets and highways He has beer walking into trouble these many years and our problem is to extricate him without the use of an ambulance if we can find the means to do so." Human Eym Is Tha Hoot Delicate Organ The human eye is the most deli cate sense organ, being about ten times more sensitive than the ear and 30 times more responsive than the dose, reports the Better Vision In stitute. Psychological tests have demonstrated that the eye can per ceive an increase of one per cent in visual brightness. The ear requires -en increase of 10 percent in tone In tensity for detection. An odor, as s perfume, must be increased by one third in strength for the nose to dis tinguish the difference. Williamston Wins From Sunbury, 9-3, Here Last Saturday I Kouk Leads Marlins Al Bal1 With Hirer Hits For Five Tries ?? Displaying an unlimited powci at the plate, the Williamston Martins scored a 9-3 victory over the Sun bury, Pa., Indians, member of the, Interstate League, supposedly a Class B outfit, here last Saturday af ternoon. The Parkermen started off strong, making four runs in their initial frame and held the situation well m hand from there on out Despite the cold weather and cloudy skies, local fans got their first look at Ole Man Red Swain last Saturday as the Martins' ace Hurler worked the first six innings. Red didn't have to do mtich bearing down, but it was easy to see that he still had his control, and when base ball weather arrives he should re sume his role as the strike-out king with his "nothing" ball. During his stay on the mound Swain allowed nine hits and three runs, striking out a paii*. Burner finished the contest, giving two safeties and no runs. The Martins' runs in the first inn ing came as a result of a single by ] Wilmer. a free pas# to Munde, a safe ty by Keller filling the bases. Up strides "Hard" Rock, versatile first baseman, in a spot he likes best, and when the clouds lift, he is on first base, knocking a neat single to left field, with two runs crossing the plate. Thompson hit to the second baseman who made no attempt to catch the runner crossing the plate but threw to the shortstop for a put out at second Kozak, next up, got the jjrftl of three -tutfl-during the after noon. Stoler walked, filling the bases again, and as Dofn Marcel, sptrtled rookie catcher, hit a long fly to left field, Thompson tagged up and came home with the fourth run The Sunbury team came back in the second inning to score a pair of markers on an error and three suc~ ceaaive hits The Indians' other rur came in the sixth heat as Swain hi Hummel* the next two batters get ting safeties The Martins scored two more run; in the third on three straight bas< knocks by Stutter, Marcel and Hurl er Swain. Runs were also made it the second, sixth and eighth innings Kozak. thirdbaseman, led the lo cals with the stick, getting three safe ties for five trips, including a two ] base blow in the eighth. Rock fol lowed close behind/ with two foe | four, knocking 111 three of the runs. Thompson, rightfielder, slammed out a pair of base hits, while the old j worn-out pitcher, Swain, had to hcj content with & perfect day. onr for one. For Sunbury, Garmen. third bnse man, was the aiming light--at-- the plate, with two for three, Nerino, centerfielder, following close behind with three for five. Stotler, at short, and Mundo, at second, played highly creditable games, while the outfielders made several fine catches.
