Martins Drop Another By Margin of One Run Old Slim Pitches Three-Hit Ball To Feature Contest Poor Base Running antl Piti ful Pop-ups Prove Coatlv To the Home Team Thursday night, the Martins drop ped their twenty-third game of the season by one run when New Bern's Bears gainfully employing three bin gles off Slim Gardner for two runs, trounced the Martins in the local park. Ole Slim pitched beautifully, allowing only three hits whjle he himself blasted out as many and struck out four batsmen in the bar gain, but the old one-run jinx prov ed just a little too strong. New Bern drove into an early lead as Rucker's single, an error at short and a hit batsman accounted for the initial tally in the second stanza. Only Slakis' miraculous stop and throw of Manager Terrell's drive held the invaders at that point. In cidentally, this Terrell is the same Marvin who once cavorted in right field for the Martins and is remem bered as a healthy hitter. Williamston came back in the fifth when successive hits by Wilcox, Gardner and Taylor tied the score, but poor base running checked the rally. Tor four innings the count re mained thus, until two walks and a pair of base hits in the New Bern 75' PINT - >1.45 FULL QUART TNI FRANK L.

Eason Lilley will again extend the courtesy of the local baseball'grounds to any youngster under sixteen years of ago who'will take the trouble to apply fro special "Knot-Hole Gang" passes at designated places in Mar tin and Bertie counties. The vouch ers may be obtained at the follow ing places of business and will en able the bearer to witness the Wil liamston-Snow Hill contest Monday evening free of charge: Davis Phar macy and Clark's Drug Store, Wil liamston; R Lewis Perry, Windsor; -J-,?ft,?Bai nhilli?Evcrctta;?Willium Gray, Robersonville; Charlie Daven port, Jamesville; Asa Johnson, Ham ilton, and Taylor Bros., Bear Grass. The management feels that the turnout for the first "Knot-Hole Gang" day was very disappointing and urges everyone who falls into that classification to make arrange ments to get a ticket and attend the game Monday evening. Billies Open Their Park In Snow Hill Dedicating their new $12,000 sta dium with a seating capacity of 1500 persons Wednesday afternoon, the Snow Hill Billies lost a bitter after noon and evening doubleheader to Goldsboro's Goldbugs. The installa tion of a lighting system at Snow Hill complete the formation of a well-lighted league?every club in the circuit now boasting lights. League President Ray Goodmon delivered the principal address in the dedication exercises held before the initial game. According to the prexy, the Billies now boast "a well lighted park with nice comfortable stands, one of which a town of that size can well be proud."

Manager Joe McCarthy is at right. Martins' Pitching Staff Now In Top Condition, Swain Says Manager Red Swain, with hi* long-sought fourth victory under his belt, declared in a statement issued early today that the entire pitching staff is in top shape, having had plenty of rest between starts, a con dition which has existed but few times this season. Now that Swain has broken the ice and is ready with Breezy Beaird, who has been pitch ing brilliantly, but has experienced j considerable hard luck, and Cecil Longest to aid ole Slim Gardner and young Ted Miller bear the brunt of the Martins' pitching load, bet ter days are to be expected. How ever. the redhead intimated he was still seeking a left-handed rookie with whom to silence the predomi nating left-handed bats of certain clubs in the circuit. Still in his mood of wishful think ing, Swain expressed his desire for a powerful righthanded hitter, of the Pappy Diem type, who could slap them over the leftfield barrier. How ever, more realistically, in an effort to introduce new strength into the line-up Slakis has been placed on third base and according to Swain should come through nicely at that spot. Breezy Beaird will probably twirl for the Martins tonight in New Bern while the pilot is planning to hold Miller in reserve for Sunday's con test in the home park Baptists Break Into?

Metho-terians vs. Episcopalians. Tuesday, July 2. Baptists vs. Clll Islian.v As a result of Wednesday's dou bleheader which the down-trodden Baptists split with the Metho-terians and the Episcopalians, the local soft ball league pennant picture assum ed a more definite appearance with the Metho-terians progressing far ther to the front. The Baptists broke their losing streak which had reach ed the alarming proportion of two games In "the opener at the expense of dhe-Episcopalians^hut slipped back into their groove, or rather hit their stride, by dropping the finale to the Metho-terians. Finding Carlyle Hall's delivery to their liking the Episcopalians romp ed off to a six-run lead with hits by Fowden, Saunders, Skinner, Moore and Rhodes in the first, but there after the portly southpaw steadied marvelously to limit them to three additional runs. Meanwhile the Baptists scored one in the first, three in the third and drew into a 9-9 deadlock In the seventh with a five-hit barrage that developed into a wholesome three run party. Cowen, Shelbon Hall, Ralph Taylor, Grimes and Godwin produced (he telling blows in this frame. The Baffling Baptists then usurped the lead in the succeeding stanza as C. Hall's single, GrutJ worm Cone's prodigious triple and Speedy Cowen's timely double chas ed over two runs for the margin of victory. -? Speedy Cowen with two doubles and a pair of singles and Manager Shelbon Hall with four singles paced the Baptists at bat while Pete Fow den with three for four, was top man for the losers. v However, the cellarites resumed the even tenor of their ways as the league leading Metho-terians shell ed them 9-6 in the nightcap. The Baptists scored first in the initial inning, but the victors matched the singleton in their half of the first Then the Baptists added a pair in the second on a walk, error and Juk Har rail's base hit to take a lead thai was counteracted when the eventual runners used hits by Crockett, Boy kin and Cunningham for the knot ting runs. Three hits in the fifth, including J. E. Boykin's homer with UMi* \ssh;inivii;ms According to a statement is surd early today by tike office of the league president, Kay Goodmon, the following umpire assignments went into effect Thursday. June 27, and will end the afternoon of Wednesday, July 2. Ilatina, Itosner and Cibulka at Goldsboro. Kearney and Joliff with New Bern. King and Garner at Snow Hill. ? Stroner and Vickrrs at Kins two aboard, broke all unified Bap tist resistance and though Cone stingly allowed only sixteen hits the Melhn B rians were pulling away at the finish. A singleton ui ttTG" sixth and a brace of runs in the eighth merely added to Uu* confu sion. J. E. Boy km, with four hits for four attempts, including a triple and a circuit wallop naced the victors with the stick and Carlyle Hall proved best for his Baptist brethren with four bingles in five attempts. Scheduled for this afternoon at 5:15 is a clash between the local soft ball giants, the Metho-tenans and the- Episcopalians, who lock horn* in un effort to bring some order out of the chaos and find just who is the leagued superior club Tuesdays afternoon at the same time the re juvenated Baptists meet the Christ ians in a game postponed from last Wednesday on account of the lat ter's Sunday School picnic Dr. and Mrs. R.
