Martins Divide Holiday Bill To Break Winning Streak Red Swain Masters Old Rivals To Add A Thrilling Climax To A Seven-Game Winning Streak Professor Parker Subdues Martins In Listless Game Krran Give Tarboro Ativan in Early Inning* of Firal Ga Thursday in a holiday doublehead er the WilliamsUm Martins split with Tarboro's Cuba as Manager Red Swain paced the Martins to an af ternoon victory in Tarboro. their seventh in succession, but the Cubs counteracted in the nightcap here to give the Martins another taste of the bitter gall of defeat. In the opener it was Swain all the way for the old sidewheeler was breezing them in as of old and only five Martin errors kept the tubs in the ball game. Swain allowed but seven scattered hits during the con test and struck the game's decisive blow. In the second the Martins tallied twice on hefty doubles by Bert Stot ler and Wilcox, a fielder's choice and an outfield fly. Two hits by Rock and Slakis accounted for the third Martin rally. At this point in the proceedings four of Wllliamsotn s misplays and a lone base hit by Mincy. gave the Edgecombe boys a pair of tallies. The Martins retained their lead un til the fifth when more errors ac counted for two more Tarboro runs and a temporary advantage. Inci dentally Swain didn't allow a single earned run throughout the after noon. However, such was not to be the case for in the succeeding stanza. Stotler doubled, gained third, and scored on Hurler-Hitter Swain's mighty circuit wallop, his eighth of the season, over the leftfield bar rier. Another Williamston uprising nearly bore fruit in the ninth when Popovich bunted and reached third on a poor throw to first. But Slakis and Rock were retired to end the outburst The Cubs played their trump card in the ninth when Jack Pinion, home run hitter extraordinary, was named to pinch hit for Wrenn and nearly brought the house down. However, Swain merely hitched his pants and retired the slugger via the strike out route. Parker then batted for Pitcher Akard and was out on a foul fly. Lozier Newman made a beauti ful running catch in left field to end the game, and, incidentally, this Newman played a superb game at his unaccustomed left field position. Tasting defeat for the first time in seven gam as the Martina went down 3-4 in the finale before a disappoint ed but definitely not disappointing allowing but nine well-scattered hits but his jinx returned in the form of g two-hitter by Don Parker, of Tar boro, and five errors committed by his teammates. The Cubs scored two times in the initial inning on hits by Meteiski, Justice and Schenz and added an other tally in the fourth on hits by Mincy and Pinion. Meanwhile the Martins were collecting their only base hits off Parker m the second and third verses, scratch singles by Stotler and Beaird. Scoring twice in the eighth on two walks and Don ner's hefty single to left field, the Cubs built up a lead which the Mar tina found impossible to overcome. Beaird struck out four men and al lowed three bases on balls, while his mound opponent whiffed 11, chief ly from the upper of the Martin line-up, and gave four bases on hails. Schenz with two hits for three attempts and Donner with two runs batted in to pace the Cuba at the plate. Thursday, July 4.

Episcopalians vs. Baptists The Christians became the first team other than the leading Metho tenans to register their second vic tory of the city softball season when they edged a strangely impotent band of Baptists, 4-3. behind Jelly Price's consistent pitching on Tues day. Price gave up eight hits, the same number his mates were able to wring from the southpaw offering of Dan Peel, but good support at crucial times spelled the difference be tween victory and defeat. The winners put together a hit, two walks and an error to push over the deciding marker in the eighth frame. G. Koberson, first up, singled, advanced when Jack Manning walk ed, and then stole third base A wild throw a few minutes later let | in the all-important score. A ninth inning home run by Bosko Ander-1 son reduced the margin to one run, but Price bore down to retire a ter rifying trio of Taylor, Rose and S. Halt to end the contest. G.

Sla kis' single to center and a fielder's choice, but the Greenies countered with a singleton in the third to knot the count. Kracke singled. Dides walked and Wilson singled in this stanza Continuing their offensive, the Greenies added another run in the fifth stanza, at which point Long est, who had been liberal with bases on balls, settled down and throttled further Greenville scoring. However, the Martins retaliated with four runs in their half of the fifth. Doubles by Slakis and Swain and Rock's single combined with a sacrifice hit and two of the Green ies' seven disastrous errors account ed for the invader's downfall. Three more runs flowed from the red hot Martin clubs in the succeeding verse before Lefty Cardwell replaced Gene Breese, not Delbert. the former Mar tin 8Crewballer. and held the locals hitless throughout the remainder of the game. Though each club made a total of eight base hits the Martins' wide margin of victory is attribute dto the Greenville misplays and the six bases on balls allowed by Greenville, mound smen. A1 Slakis, the Martins' lively lit tle third sacker and shortfleldcr, paced the offensive with three bin gles to bat in three runs, while Man ager Rube Wilson hit onr thousand for four attempts to lead his boys. However, the Greenies' grizzled pi lot errored twice to counteract his hitting. Wednesday, July 3.

Time of game: 1:55 * Defense Program Brings Increases Slowly, but surely, this big democ racy is bestirring itself to meet the challenge of industrial production for national defense ? and slowly, but equally surely, the effort is be ing reflected in job, payroll and sales increases. Employment in non agricultural industries in May was a round million above the same month I in 1939, and now total 35,000.000 pet_ sons. In the 30 days from April 15 to May*15 alone there wes a gain of 240,000. Payrolls for these industries in May were up 12 per cent. Next to manufacturing, job increases were largest in retail stores. This bears out how even "spotty" gains in in dustrial activity are spread out to affect other lines and other regions for, reversing the slogan of a couple years ago, "Jobs make sales." Also, incoming business to manufacturers showed a distinct upturn in May from other months of this year, new business aggregating nine per cent, with almost all major industries, participating in the advance.
