Martins Show New Pep and Vigor Under New Management Slakis Stars and All Players ShowNewLife Lose Three Out Of Four, But There's New Life On Team Mahager Swain Loses 13-Inn in# Mound Argument With Trainia Although ill luck continues on their trail, the Williamston Martins are offering an improved brand of ball, and win or lose, the boys are offering something entertaining and Ideally exciting under the new man agement of Harry "Red" Swain. The locals have dropped three of their four games since the Ole Man of the Diamond Mound took over last Tues day night, but the effect of those de feats is centered in the win-loss col umns only, the fans stating that as long as the boys play the kind of ball they are now playing, they will get their admission fees. There has been a better spirit ad vanced on the team these past few days, and possibly as a result of that spirit, the boys are playing better I ball in every department. "They have settled down to honest-to-goodness work, and as long as they do just that, win or lose, 1 am with 'em," a fan said this morning. Alfred Slackis, taking over at shortstop in the absence of Bert Stot ler, is playing a great game in that position, and the leftfield territory is apparently well taken care of now with Breezy Beaird roaming the pas tures there; in fact, the entire out field is rapidly setting a pace of its fcown that measures up to expected standards. A call for new players is in the air arormereTr ?srae "TSnm5Sr~SI3r Stringfellow will be released by Kinston, that he might join the Mar tins. During the meantime a special call is being issued to the fans for an increased support. These fans, howl and quarrel it they will, have just about as much to do with keeping baseball on the local lot and in win ning games as the players them A mighty small crowd was ^present yesterday afternoon and the attendance wasn't up to expectations last ceeninff Tl ir trim Ihnl th TO CHECK k IN 7dAYS t^666 Who Is Where SATURDAY, MAY 1( Kinston at Wilson Tarboro at Snow Hill Goldsboro at WILLIAMSTON Greenville at New Bern SUNDAY, MAY 19 Wilson at Snow Hill Goldsboro at Greenville Kinston at Tarboro Williamston at New Bern MONDAY, MAY II Snow Hill at Wilson Greenville at Goldsboro Tarboro at Kinston New Bern at WILLIAMSTON TUESDAY.

Manager Red Swains Martins played two games yesterday, and as a result, this morning finds them two games deeper in the league standing The Kinston Eagles took the first game 6 to 2, and the 13-inn ing nightcap, 2-1. Mike DeLuca started the afternoon game for the locals, but had to give up in the eighth inning after the Ea gles had shelled his offerings for nine hits and six runs. Udde Levin took over in the eighth and allowed only one hit and no scores while fan ning two batters. Russo. ^Kinston srcondsacker. led the field at the plate, hitting two home runs, a double and a single for four trips to the plate. Selby Keller was the most potent Martin with the stick getting a dou ble and single for three attempts. In the nightcap, which went thir teen innings before a verdict could be reached, Red Swain and Trainia tangled in the best pitching argu ment seen here this season. The red headed Swain allowed 11 safeties, while fanning ninp and walking four. Train was touched for seven hits, w alking 11 and striking out a lone batter. Williamston's score came in the third when Gene Albritton was walk ed, went to second on Swain's sacri fice and crossed the plate on Hart soe's single. Kinston tied the count in the eighth on a walk, a hit and an error. Both hurlers worked hard and as a result nothing happened in the scor ing line until the thirteenth inning, when Swain seemed to weaken mo mentarily, Kolozar hitting for two bases, going to third on a sacrifice and scoring the winning run on Ba lm's single. ? ~ "Big Leaguer" Beaird led the Mar tins at bat with three singles for five trips to the plate Beaird also featur ed in left field with three circus catches. i nc box Thursday Kinston Afternoon.

Bad breaks that followed Manager Dixie Parker were inher ited. in part, by the veteran pitcher as the new skipper of the Martins Bert Stotler, while much improved, is still on the inactive list and will hardly be able to return within ten days or two weeks. Frank Kozak. troubled with a bad foot, was enter ed in the local hospital yesterday for treatment, and he'll be out at least a week or more from now. Louis Odprizzi, held over as one of the main pitchers, was reported to have taken French leave Wednesday eve ning and he is now on the suspend ed list. The new manager went to work immediately however to patch up the places and add a new pitcher or two to the line-up. Negotiations for a twirler are underway, but no con tract will hardly be executed before the early part of next week. Charlie Wilcox, first-string catch er for the Martins in 1938, has signed a contract and he is expected here about the first of June to bolster the back-stop position. Alfred Slakis was signed Wednesday for duty at the shoU*U>p-|MWi4*iwiv Sbrkis-iw w -rtmkte and comes from Pennsylvania. While they are nursing their in juries, Stotler and Kozak are on the suspended list, leaving fourteen men on the active roster at the present time, as follows: Lester Rock, first base; Aaron 11 ail sue, second base; Lozici New man, thud base; AlfredBlakls. shorL stop; Eugene Albritton, catcher; Mallard Thompson, pitcher-left field er; Selby Keller, center fielder; Leon Thompson, right fielder; Michael De Luca, Ed Bartnick, Ted Miller, W.

Snow* Hill de feated the locals 5-2 before a fair sized group of enthusiastK' fans "Knuckle-Ball" Taylor. Billy moundsman, allowed the Martins eight hits, and walked two and fan ned two. Little Eddie Bartniek. who went the route, hurled a fine brand of halL-hut wt'nlu'Mfri nvrwnhirdy in the sixth and ninth innings. The Martins scored a run in the opening frame as Itartsoe doubled and came home on la>zier Newman's long single WilliamstOn's other tally came in the third as the result of Bartniek's double and Newman's hit. ^ Snow Hill scored in the second on a widk. an error and R abb's single In the sixth the Billies counted three more on three hits, a walk and TT sacrifice. Capping the climax, the visitors combined four hits and a sacrifice to pU^li across iwo more runs in the ninth.
