| RABID SUPPORTERS |
Oh of the most uncalled for.
unsportsmanlike and unneces
sary exhibitions was staged at
the local baseball park last Sun
day afternoon, csuont much
comment from the visitors.
It may not have been inten
tional, we do not know, bat two
or three rabid supporters of the
Martins singled out certain play
ers to direct their remarks upon
concerning the play, mainly
base stealing and batting.
We take no sides, but merely
ask that you know the conditions
as they are and not as they ap
pear, before you start howling.
Those players on the diamond
hear you, despite the fact that
they seem not to, and it seems
that the manager is the m.n to
correct such mistakes, not the
"second-guesser" in the stands.
Every Martin has made mis
takes and will continue as long
as they stay in Class D baseball,
but a word of encouragement
will carry them a lot further
than the remarks of "wolves".
Further Changes
Are Expected In
The Martin Roster
According to a statement from
Manager Red Swain a number of
changes were made in the roster of
the Williamston Martins over the
week-end, and several more are
expected momentarily.
"It looks as though hard luck con
tinues to follow us," Ole Man Swain
said this morning, announcing that
Gene Albritton has a sore arm, and
was placed on the suspended list for
a week. Aaron Hartsoe remains on
the active list but is troubled very
much with a bad knee.
Udde Levin, pitcher; Frank Ko
zak, third baseman and outfielder,
and Brice McCay, outfielder, were
released last week-end. and Bert
Stotler was reinstated. Stotler, hit
on the head in Goldsboro several
weeks ago by a batted ball, played
the first time last night since he was
injured.
~ Del Bree'se, screwball pitcher who"
is rated an unlimited player, arrived
here yesterday and it was rumored
that he will be given a chance with
the Martins
"We still have the piakings of a
good ball club and when the pitching
staff settles down, we*will be on our
way t6 the top of the Coastal Plain
loop."
Requirement* Of A C001I
Egg Storage Cellar
An ideal egg storage cellar has a
dirt floor so that more moisture is
present. Likewise, there should be
a ventilating window on one side
near the top. Slatted platforms
should be built on the ground so as
to keep the eggs several inches off
the floor. Market eggs at least twice
weekly during hot weather.

Manager Frank Rodgers' Wilson
Tobs defeated Williamston in the
first game of a scheduled double bill
here last Friday night by the score
of 11-9. With the first contest get
ting underway late, showers holding
up play on two occasions and two
hours and forty-four minutes of
playing time recorded, the league
president and managers of the two
clubs went into conference and de
cided that it would be best to post
poned the second game as even five
innings could not be completed be
fore twelve o'clock.
Wilson had two big innings, scor
ing five runs in the third off three
doubles, a single and two walks, and
five more in the sixth on four hits
and three walks
The Martins count I'd a run in the
first inomg on a single, fielder's
choice, stolen base and Rock's hit. In
the third the locals chalked up two
more on a walk, Keller's double and
Rock's hit. Beaird homered on the
gym in the fourth. Two hits and two
walks scored a run in the seventh.
In the eighth the Martins counted
twice on three walks, a single and
an outfield fly. Opening the ninth,
Slakis tripled and scored on an in
field out Manager Swain, pinch-hit
ting for Levin, hit for a circuit, his
clout going high above the score
board but the rally ended there.
Brown started on the mound for
Williamston. and during his four and
one-third innings was touched for
six hits and six runs, fanning three
and walking six. Udde Levin finish
ed the game, giving up nine hits.

Shipping Season For
Lambs To Start Soon
It's almost time to start shipping
spring lambs and L. I. Case, extension
animal husbandman of N. C. State
College, says that the next few weeks
will be the period when the wise
farmer increases his income by fat
tening and finishing his lambs well.
He will do it with an adequate and
balanced feed program.
"Of first importance in feeding
lambs," Case says, "is milk and plen
ty of it. See that the ewes are fed
for milk production. A bountiful
supply of green winter cover crops,
preferably crimson -clover, supple,
mented by a mixture of corn and oats
should take care of this.
"Creep feeding the lambs usual
ly pays well. Partition off a bright
corner of the barn or shed and leave
a small opening or two that will ex
clude the ewes but admit the lambs.
A good ration to use in the creep is:
Seven parts of ground corn, two
parts of wheat bran, and one part of
either cottonseed meal or soybean
meal. In addition to the grain, a
small rack full of choice hay should
be kept where the lambs can nibble
it as they please."
Last year the State College Ex
tension Service cooperated in con
ducting lamb pools which netted far
mers (26,082.81 for 4,373 animals,
weighing 317,950 pounds. Case esti
mates that these lambs brought ful
ly one cent per pound more through
grading and~ cooperative selling man
they would have brought under the
usual method of selling.
"This means," the specialist declar
ed, "a total of $3470.90 increased re
turns to the producers. Further, it
is logical that other lambs sold in
the territory where cooperative mar
keting was done brought a higher
price than they would have other
wise."
The lamb pools will be continued
this year.

His doctor, as well as his team

season to reset the five breaks in
his nose But he was rushed from

where he underwent the operation.
His condition has been very serious
