Skiper Dixie Parker used four hurlers in a futile attempt to stem the tide of the Billies' onrush, but to no avail. Snow Hill went to work in the first inning to score four runs on two walks, three two-base hits and a single off Miller. While the Hill Billies were scor ing aplenty, Virgil Taylor, veteran knuckle-bailer, held the Martins under control, allowing them only five hits while striking out six. Kozak was the only Williamston player to hit safely more than once, getting a double and single for four attempts, while the other three hits were divided between Jones. New man and Keller. * At bat for Snow Hill. Outfielder Hinton had a perfect day geting three for three, scoring four runs and bat ting in three. The box : Saturday, April 27.

Manning visited in Rich mond Sunday.* Things Are Looking Up For The Martins Brand Of Ball Now Being Played Will Prove'Satisfactory Istal Two (iniiie* (loultl Huvt* lift-ii (lie Martin*' But For the "Breaks" After getting off to a bad start last we%k, Dixie Parker's Martins are im proving rapidly with age, their last two performances renewing the hope of local fans and giving a certain as surance that Williamston will be in the running before this season is spent. It was an off-day the lads had over in Snow Hill last Saturday, but they came back strong against the Billies here Sunday, and as long as they play that class of ball there's nothing to worry about. Yesterday, the Martins, led by Leslie Rock, as serted a latent batting power and al ready news of the hard-hitting Mar tins is freely circulating in the oth er camps. They'll be heard from as the season progresses Coming into a new territory as per fect stranger and without a founda tion to work on and with an iron-clad classification ruling hanging over their heads, the Martins have exper ienced up-hill traveling all the way. An unusually cold spring with no indoor room to work in, the Martins got off to a late start, several of the players coming down with colds and one or two with a charleyhorse. No apology for the Martins is sug gested. They are here to play ball, and Dixie and the boys say they are going to play ball. Observers, calling to mind the Martins of 1939 now see a team that compares favorably with the ohf pemtatrt' wlfffVErs,' a few staf-' ing that the 1940 edition could turn back the old boys Yesterday the Martins and Wiljon staged a 10-inning contest, which was called on account of darkness. The score was 9-all. Both teams displayed a great' deal orimtg ttTsiaftfe hlUIiifi wilh Wilson getting nine extra bases and William ston seven. Wilson's Tobs started off strong in tne nrst inning scoring two runs on two doubles and a pair of walks. De Luca fanned three men this Inning. The Martins came back in their hatf of the first to tie the count as Grimm walked, Newman doubled, Thompson filed out to centerfield scoring Grimm "Hard" Rock hit for three bases to score Newman. Wilson went ahead again in the third on two singles a walk and a neat double steaL. And again the lo cals evened things on a walk, a single and a long fly to left field. The Tobs scored one in the fifth frame on a home run by Olmo, and another in the sixth as the result of a double and two singles. The Martins entered their half of the lucky seventh two runs behind, but when their side was finally re tired the score stood 6-5 in Williams ton's favor. Singles by Grimm, Thompson, Rock and Keller, two free trips to first and a fielder's choice caused the splurge. Wilson scored four times in the ninth to seemingly clinch the ball game, but not for long as the Mar tins combined three walks a single by Kozak and a beautiful triple by Pinch-hitter Red Swain to once more knot the count. Neither team was able to score In the tenth and the umpires declared it too dark to continue. At bat for Williamston "Hard" Rock was the big gun, getting three safeties including a triple, and driv ing in a pair of runs. Kozak hit a dnnhle and singla fur thrau trips to the plate, while Ole Man Red Bwain was in a class all by himself," as a clutch-hitler Murphy, with three doubles for five tbnee at bat, and Olmo with a home run, double and single, were the batting stars for the Tobs. Afield Qnmm made a number of fine plays and figured in nine NO NITE BALL, YET Hearing loud complaints from those fans attending night base ball In other parks, i. Eason Lil ley, president of the local club, announced today that the Mar tins will hold to a day-light schedule on their home grounds for a while longer. It was first announctil that the Martins would start playing night ball on Thursday of this week, but it isn't likely that the day-time schedule will be abandoned right away or before next Monday when the Martins are slated to meet Tarboro in an afternoon and a night game. {'Jamie (?rinim It Latent AdditionTo l.ttcal Team Claude Grimm, attractive young West Virginian, reported last Satur day evening for work on and around the second sack for Dixie Parker's 1940 Martins.

The Martins started off in the first inning w ith a score as Newman was given a free trip to first, stole second and came home on a single by Thompson, which took a back hop at shortstop. The Billies came back in tin- third to tie the count 011 two hits and an er ror In the fourth Williamston went ahead again as Rock was given a walk, sacrificed to second, and scored on a hit and an error. The situation went along with no scoring until the ninth inning when Snow Hill again tied the score on a single, a fielder's choice and a drive j to centerfield which bounced over Keller's head- I11 the eleventh Ihe Billies tallied the winning marker 011 a single, a double, a walk and a fielder's choice.
