Hustling Martins Push Winning Streak to Four Games New Life Displayed on Diamond As the Hapless Martins Launch Drive for Higher Place in Loop Pitching Staff Now Rated With Best in Coastal Plain Loop Miller and Longest Chalk Up _ First Shut-outs for the Martins This Season ? With four straight wins under their belts, the Martins are all set to turn in victories in wholesale lots from now on. You've heard every week that the hapless Williams ton forces were on the way up. but this time there is some evidence for what we say. The pitching staff is the biggest reason for the Martins prophesied ascendance. With Red Swain, Slim Gardner, Cecil Longest, Ted Miller and Breezy Beaird working in fine order, the locals are getting perhaps the best huling in the entire loop. Slim's 4-2 record is the only present able one of the lot. but all have shown their best work in the past week and we have reason to expect better things. Slim lost a three-hitter in his last appearance, but he's going to the hill today in Snow Hill in an effort to get back in the victory column. Ted's two-hitter on Sunday needs no de scription. The big Bertie lad has a 7-fl chart and he's improving every time he goes to the mound. Swain has finally gotten right after a tragic spring and now has wins in his last two tunes out. Breezy dropped a five hit game, then came through with a 5-3 overtime win over Kinston to mark for the first time. A sensation his first year in the league, the lit tle old man is showing the form that made him the most effective relief chunker around. Cecil Longest can't be counted out when hurling aces are being talked about, either. He has a reputation as a steady winner, and with his initial victory chalked up. and that a Shut-out. great things are expected of the tall and lanky fellow. The hole in left field will be fill by?Msmwer-Swstir~anlir~a-surr able replacement can be found. When Red's pitching, Lozier New man will be In the garden position. Pop Popovich has come through in fine style at the keystone berth, and his hitting has amazed even the most optimistic. The speedy infield er has been getting safe hits in clus ters, and bis base-cleaning doubles and triples have been the deciding features in several game-winning rallies of late. A1 Slakis has been another pleasant surprise. Since coming into the game regularly at third base, he hasnt failed to get at least one hit a day. His fielding is up to par, and the slisthtly-built lad seems to be ret ting more and more power behind his swings. Thompson and Roek, Red's siege guns, are still in their respective slumps, but Leon h come through with several timely blows in recent games. Rock, a prov en batsman, will eventually start bustin' that pellet again, but in the meantime -is capably liuliluig tluwn the initial sack with his steady per formance.

Witness: Breezy Beaird lost a five-hitter; Cecil Longest won one of the same variety; Slim Gardner suffered defeat in a three hitter; and Ted Miller turned in a brilliantly twirled two-blow af fair. Fifteen hits in four games. That's the record. After dropping six decisions, Beaird finally got his due and won one. Harry Swain split on two trips to the mound, and Mil ler got above the .500 mark with his Sunday masterpiece. Cecil Longest turned in his first win, and Slim Gardner's record was re duce! to 4-2 on a bitter defeat. Swain still leads in games, innings pitched and strike-outs, while Miller has the most victories, seven Gardner's percentage places him at the head of the hurling corps.

A pitching duel between Longest and "Dopey" Fuller was lecided in the first five minutes when Chuck Taylor's big bat swung iround -twice to drive in a run in each of the first and second frames to provide the- margin of victory. Chuck, rangy middle-gardener, who is at present on a swatting ipree, clouted one of Fuller's first inning pitches over the nghtfield yarrler to register his first round tripper of the spring. In the next ?tanza Wilcox singled with two out. went to third when Lokey errored Longest'* bounder, and scored on Taylor's single. Cecil scattered the Bears' hits so sffectively that they never serious ly threatened He struck out five and walked one. Fuller whiffed six and passed one. Taylor had another single to go with his game-winning blows to take hitting honors for-the evening with three for five. Charlie Wilcox was the only other Williams ton perform er to bingle mot* than one time He had two for four. Friday, June t*.

Two base How the Martins Hit Although the Martins as a team lost four percentage points last week, the number of hitters in the select .300 circle has been doubled. Chuck Taylor, speedy centerfielder, and Slim Gardner, the Jamesville Jolter, put on batting sprees to climb into the up 314 per strata. Taylor has climaxed a gradual drive with a trim .3 figure, and at the rate he's now clouting it is probable that the mark will be higher as the season wears on. Chuck possessed a .339 aver age with New Bern before coming here, but as no record of this has been received that figure has not been included in this tabulation. Th entire team at present is hitting .285. The pace-setters, Leon Thompson and Lester Rock, lost much ground, but some of the lower averages came up to partially off set this slump. Thompson dropped 28 points in eight games, while Rock slid down nine. Both are still comfortably in the higher brackets, and continue to lead the club in the more important de partments. Leon is tops is runs scored and hits; Les is high man in runs batted in.

The Wed nesday game will be played here at 8:15. Large crowds are expected for the contest tomorrow evening and on the night of July 4th. Beaird Comes Home With 5 To 3 Victory Over Kinston Team Gumi' Vi ui Swniid the Martini* Hail Wnn This Simiwoh? In Extra Innings When Cecil Longest won hi* fir*t victory, it must have given Breezy Beaird ideas At any rate, the follow ing day the "Big Leaguer" racked up his initial triumph, this time at the expense of the Kinston Eagles. The decision was a 5-3 verdict in ten innings, the Martins' second ov jjlime win nf the year, Although the game was not the best-pitched af fair that Beaird has turned in, the chunky righthander was effective In the pinches, and succeeded in scattering 10 Eagle hits widely. two-run tenth inning. Popovich sin gled, Rock doubled, Slakis singled and an error did the rest. The Eagles had tied the count in the seventh by tallying two count ers on Congdon's single, a triple by Bator and a single by McCullough. Besides hurling Ihn win n.,niivr took batting laurels with three blows in four attempts Popovich also had three safeties, including a double. Saturday, June 29.

Manager Swain In " Saddle As Martins Win 4th Straight Stotler, Popular Figure At Short, Suffer* Slight In jury La*t Evening Manager Harry Swain pitched hit Martins to their fourth consecutive victory here last night, setting the Snow Hill Billies down with seven sectored hits to register a 6 to 1 tri umph, his fifth of the campaign While Williamston touched Virgil Taylor for nine blows, they came at opportune moments, and the Martins had only six men left on base. Swain struck out three and walk ed three, and allowed the Billies as many as two hits in only the third and eighth frames. Taylor whiffed four, passed three, but allowed the victors to bunch a trip of safeties in the fifth for a three-run cluster, en ough to insure Red the win Hits by Newman slid Wilcox, a walk to Swain and Popovich's dou ble counted two scores, and Beaird's infield out scored the other. Popo vich tripled after Wilcox had dou bled in the third for the first Wil liamston tally. A sixth-stanza walk to Thompson, a passed ball and Swain's sharp single to left produc ed another singleton. A pass to Tay lor. and singles by Beaird and Leon Thompson figured in the scoring of the final run in the seventh. The Billies' run was scored in the tu;.j ...u Field after Rabb had singled- They didn't offer a serious souring threat ^fter that, although two hits in the -?lghth left men stranded on second ?nd third. Shortstop Bert Stotler was injur ed in the first inning and had to be taken from the game. He chased n riy ball into short left and made the fatch, but in some way reinjured his head in hauling in the ball. Slakia moved over to short, Newman came in from the outfield to third, and Beaird took over the left field spot. Charlie Wilcox was the night's top hitter, posting a single and double for three trips Pop Popovich con tinued his fine stickwork with a tri ple and double for four This ran his hit total to eight for the past three games, including four hits for eight bases. First Baseman Uurdette was the only Billie to reach Swain on more than one occasion lie showed two for four.

Increased Support for Local Baseball Team Is Being, Urged Interested baseball tans, meeting in an extra-ordinary session here last Saturday evening, pledged a greater support and directed an earn est plea to the people of this section to attend contests on the local field in increased numbers Realizing that the present owner of the cluh has had a bad year to date in more ways than one, the group of fans offered their support willingly m an effort to bring the Martins out of the cellar and turn a bad beginning into a good ending It should be remembered that the Martins were wrecked by a league ruling, that ill luck has followed them week after week, but there has been disheartening reports coming from the public. No complaint has been registered by the owner, but fans have sneaked into the park by crawling through ventilators in the school building, sonic of them pos sessing more than the small price of admission Scores of others have had the brazen nerve to build make shift platforms on the outside of the park for a free stand Wayward youths have stolen foul balls by the dozens, and other acts have been committed that were small within themselves Pledging the club operator $2,000, interested fans have virtually raised that amount, and with the team flaying better ball and with more interest to be expected among the fans, it is reasonable to expect the Martins to give a better account of themselves and for the owner to break at least even during the re mainder of the current season Include the remainder of the lo cal games on your recreation sfhed ule and support Hie team axid als Hot Race Continues In Softball League Methoterians T u r n Episcopalians Back In Game On Friday Christian* Are Meeting the Episcopalians Today.

Episcopalians vs. Christians Friday afternoon the hustling and bustling?Methnterinns?shoved the Episcopalians into a tie for the cel lar with the Baptists while they boosted their lead still farther with a 12-5 victory behind Benedict Man ning's 9-hit pitching. The decision, Manning's third of the season against nd -defeats, was at the expense of John Hardy, whose knuckleball was blasted for 16 hit?. The "combination boys" forged to the fore in the second when Cobb's single and a walk mixed with sever al passed balls n?'tt<?d twa-runs and increased this advantage in the suc ceeding stanza. Wise singled and was followed by singles by Critcher, Boy kin and Ned Cunningham and a base on balls for a total of four runs Episcopalians scored a pair of tallies on a walk and?-several errors and seemed destined to finally win out, but they eventually reverted to their former sloppy playing and the Methoterians took over. Fred Wise was best for the victors with three hits for four atmmptM while Tom Skinner, the Episcopalian stand-by, got a similar number of base knocks to pace his teammates. Hardworking Manager Dillon Cobb, of the Methoterians, shone afield for his boys, while Jim "Dime a Dance" Cooke played his regular steady game at short for the losers. This afternoon the second place Christians engage the cellarite Bap tists in a battle designed to clarify the league's foundation. Should the Baptists win they'll advance to sec ond place while fr Christian win would further solidify their present berth. , Manager Bill Spivey, uf the L'lu isl ians, will probably call on his ace, Jack Manning, to snap his club's los ing streak. It is possible, but not probable, that Skipper Hall, of the Baptists, will place his faith upon C rub worm Cone. Anyway, a good game is expected and your presence will be appreciated.

Goodmon. the Williamston club has been penalized with the loss of three games as a result of a discrep ancy in the signing of Nick Khabe, recently acquired outfielder. Games have been awarded to Tar boro, New Born and Greenville as an aftermath of a protest by Man ager Steinoeke, of Tarboro. The for felts wore bused upon the fact that Khabe was not signed to a Williams ton contract, although performing on the field for the Martins. When through a misunderstanding Khabe was not signed, the player around the league and sought to gain his free agency as a result of his j name not being affixed to a contract Having come from the Kichmond Colts, which is in the Class B Pied mont league, Khabe considered him self too capable to play in this class of bnll, Tind low < 1 im-<mluiitinnnl urn. reflected in his .125 batting average with the Martins.

Bin Ted Miller offered on*1 of the finest hurling performances seen here this year when he shut out the Kinston Eagles with two hits here Sunday afternoon. The Martins made seven runs, but that isn't the impor tant part of the tale Bertie Ted twirled hilless hall for the lost seven frames after giving up a double in the first and a single in the following stanza He it'tired 22 men in order from the second un til the ninth and struck out seven batters The tlfcumph raised Miller's won-lost record over the .500 fnaFK. Sid Stringfellow had trie Martins eating out of his hand equally as well as Miller was performing until a five-run eighth Popovich singled, and Stotler's sacrifice was errored Rock got life on another miscue, and then Leon Thompson tx?omed a dou ble to left-center to count two runs. AI Slakis, recently inserted in the regular line-up at thud base, caught one of Std'* thrtrws on the nose to bounce the pellet off the corner of the gym for a home run. three mark ers crossing the plate The blow was Slakis' second four-master. The Martins set)red enough to win in the first after two men had been retired. Stotler walked, stole second and went to third when Catcher Ov erton errored. Rock then laid down an easy roller to Congdon at third, but the throw to first was wide and Stotler scored when Rock was safe A fifth-frame run also came with two out. Taylor walked and scooted home on Popovich's triple past sec ond. The nearest thing resembling a score for the Eagles came when Weeks doubled and advanced to third on Demasi's fly to right. He was stranded on tlurd Miller later struck out Weeks. Tony Popovich got half of the Martins' six blows to run bis hit to tal for the scries against Kinston to a half-dozen. He formerly was a member of the Lenoir County outfit. Slakis had a single to go with his Ruthiari. while Thompson's timely two-baser was the other blow gar nrred off Stringfellow. __ Sunday Jiinr :10.
