I Martins Opening 1940 Home Schedule This Alteration Martins Drop Loosely - Played Opening Game To Tarboro By A Score of 11-4 Last Evening w ^Thompson Leads Local Attack with A Trio Of Safeties Williamson Hurler* Suffer In the Cool Weather; Show Promise Opening the 1940 Coastal Plain League season in the Edgecombe jkapital last night, the Williams ton TUartins got their first taste of de feat as the Tarboro Cubs out-hit, out-scored, and out-errored the lo cals, the final score being 11 to 4 The Martins offered a presentable game, and although a number of misplays were made, and the pitch ers got themselves into a number of holes, the contest was much closer than the score indicates. Tarboro opened up in the first inn ing to score five runs off Bartmck, first Williamston pitcher, who al lowed only three hits, but a walk. #hit batter and three errors proved tastly. The Cubs marked up two more runs in the fourth frame, three in the fifth, and one in the seventh. The Martins first drew blood in the fourth inning when Newman, third baseman, was safe on an error, and "Hard" Rock sent a zooming Honhl* to deep - eentorfii?M threatened to clear the fence In the following stanza the locals scored their outer three runs by com .bining a two-base blow of Bomar "with singles by Bert Stotler, New man and Thompson along with an error. - Pinion, ? Tarboro - catcher; was trr-' "J jured in the fifth, as Gene Albritton charged across home plate, knocking him down, but it was later learned that his injury was not serious. Bomar, relieving Bartnick in the first inning, hurled four innings, but was replaced in the fifth by Odcrizzi, due to a charleyhone. Od erizzi finished the contest in fine form allowing only four hits and ona run. f Manager McHenry, centerfielder for Tarboro, captured batting hon ors for the evening as he chalked up a perfect average of three safe ties for three trips to the plate. Jus tice was next in line for the Cubs with three for lour. For the Martins, Leon Thompson, rightfielder, with three hits for four times at bat, was the big gur., al though Rock Bomar and Newman BREAK CAMP The Williamston Martin* broke camp yesterday morning, leav ing the American Legion hut and scattering out to homes in var ious parts of town where they will stay for the duration of the 1940 season.

Struck Wilson Lists Eight Veterans from Last Year's Loop Team Tub* Will I'luy Martina Here Monday Afternoon At Four o'Clock By ED W. DAVIS Sports Editor, Wilson Times Wilson?When Wilson and Wil liamston meet Monday afternoon, April 29th, in Williamston for then first time in 1940, the Tobacconists will present a team as uncertain as the weatherman's prediction, despite the fact that the Tobs boast eight carry-overs from last season. With a young and untried infield the status of Wilson will be in doubt until well after the season is under way. but meanwhile Skipper Frank Rodgers is counting heavily on the clubbing of his outfielders and the cunning of his chunkers to keep the team's head above water until the infield has shown its ability under heavy cannonading Return of Luis Olmo, the hard hit ting Puerto Rican fly chaser, settled the outfield problem of the TVobs. Ol mo will patrol the right pasture, the sure-fielding Tob skipper will cavort m center, while in left will be found the ever-dependable Earl Carnahan. In the infield. of new faces as far as Wilson is con cerned, are two dangerous men and two who are yet to show their abil ity to stand the withering fire of a 128-game campaign. The dynamiters jWPhtT TObrrtS,"nr^LaseiTYan7 who pounded the apple at a .377 clip for Ayden in 1938 and who is counted on heavily as a spearhead of the Tobs offensive, and Angelo Mariana, third sacker, who packs a mean wallop in the willow . Home runs and fence rat tling doubles appear to be Angela's specialty?but right now he's laid up in the hospital with blood poison which may keep Inm out of the first The midway sack combiantion is causing concern, however. At the present, Eddie Raner in at seconH -rid Pete Stuart at short. Both have shown ability afield and at bat but their way has not been exactly spec tacular in either department. How ever tliey are expeej^ to settle down and give a good a\-*ount of them selves before the season is very old. On the other hand, Irv Dickens, the flashy former Wake Forest diamond captain, will be on hand in a few days to battle Bauer for his second base post and then the fun will begin. Weakest of all Tob departments appears to be the backstopping. An dy Anderson, the capable receiver of 1939 who was credited with keep ing the Tobs in the thick of the fight for fourth place until the closing week of the race, has quit baseball. Four candidates are on hand, but as yet Skipper Rodgers has not given any indication as to who the success ful candidates might be. Joe Baba, second string catcher last year; Bob Taylor, who is also quite a utility man; Cliff Evans, the Kenly boy, and Red Edwards, another North Carolina product, are battling for the job. The Tobs "ace in the hole" is fig ured to be in the pitching staff. But even that is doubtful. Four carry overs from 1939 are counted on heav ily. They are Fem Bissette, the local high school fhngcr who made good in a big way last summer; Jack Threlfall, Joe Talley, all limited ser vire men and Firpo Creason. veter an fastballer. Threlfall and Creason have not yet hit their stride, Bissette lias been handicapped by a tOfn lig ament in his back and Talley is still teaching school. ^ Two newcomers are expected to break into the Tob hurling corps, however. They are Karl Williams, righthander who was with Green ville two years ago, and Claude lin gerer, rookie southpaw, and a couple of others, who show promise. out: by Witt 3, Bomar 1, Oderizzi 1.

Looking at the eon test as a whole, one saw in it a promising team, a team that was hardly ready for action in over coat weather, under new lights and in a strange surrounding. Bomar. relieving Bartnlck. was handicapped with a charleyhorse after holding the Cubs to a few scattered hits. Then the breaks leaned away from Skipper Par ker and his boys. Firmly believing that "Negro" baseball had been ruled out, the skipprr never dreamed that he would allow Thompson to wan der off third base and get caught by a player with a hidden ball. The skipper offered to ex plain that the gag had been ruled off on a hit ball in the Bi-State circuit, but the umpires ruled that they were still playing that kind of ball down here.

Skipper Parker Busy Ironing Out the Kinks This Morning Pitcher from State?villc Report* To Martin* On Approval After 4a*t night's Wd-time story. Skipper Dixie Parker was up early I this morning making a noble effort! to iron out a few kinks. He has three Irons In the fire, and wf are going to patch up the one or two weak spots just as Spnn as we ran if nnt sooner " 1 the manager explained. Declaring the team, as a whole, I looked good, that it w as a timely win i for Tarboro. the Skipper is worrying more over that hidden ball than arty- i thing just now*. "Why. it's the first time in twenty years that a hit ball was allowed to go into hiding in a league where I have played," Par ker explained Urged to shift his conversationi back to his ironing-out business, the manager said that Statesville, long on pitchers, sent hini a new "chunk- i er* last night on approval. '"We don't know much about him." Parker said. It is apparent, however, that there'll i be a 'little ironing out done around the mound. Ebbie DeLoach is the youngster's naipe and he comes from South Carolina Ebbie is just 21 years | old and is ranked as a rookie. Three applications for a position I on the team are now before the man agement, one of the applicants hold ing a fairly good record afield and in the base-running department The youngster stole 31 bases in 33 at tempts last season, and negotiations | are underway to give him a trial, | according to the skipper. "We'll have to go into the game this afternoon with virtually the same line-up -we had last night,"J Parker said, adding that Swain would probably draw the assign- ! ment.
