Organizations
The Coastal Plain League's annua)
Ail-Star game appeared certain to
day to be graced with the presence |
of Judge Bramham, minor league
major-domo, who, according to re
ports from Wilson, is to be feted and
fed by league officials at a pre-game
luncheon. Should the good judge be
in attendance he is expected to see
a corking good ball game for Mana
gers Rodgers and Arnette have re
cently juggled their lineups in or
der to present their most potent
combinations to the expected throngs
at the "dream game."
Latest reports list the respective
rosters as "Rodgers": Morris, Car
nahan. Murphy and Talley from
Wilson; Schenz. Justice. Pinion and
Parker, from Tarboro; Jenkins,
"niornton. Crowe and Caligiuri, from
Greenville; and Stotler. Taylor and
Miller, from Williamston.
Arnettes: larossi, DiGaetano. Paw
lak and Walt Wilson, from Golds
boro; Russo. Overton, Kennedy and
Stringfellow. from Kinston; Rabb,
MrCaskill. Cohen and Virgil Tay
lor, from Snow Hill, and Harper,
Hug and Berry, from New Bern
Bert Stotler. peppery young Wil
liamston shortfielder, was drafted as
utility man in place of Breezy Beaird
and speedy Chuck Taylor was in
directly chosen to replace Charlie
Wilcox. The latter action began when
Luis Olmo. Wilson's hard-hitting
Porto Rican outfielder, was recall
ed to fill a vacancy in the Richmond
Colts' roster. His withdrawal allow
ed the Tobs another representative
on the All-Star club Manager Rodg
ers decided to select his hustling
catcher, Ray Murphy and this left
an outfield berth open. Thereupon
Taylor was picked to fill that capa
city and Wilcox, who has elicited
praise as one of the loop's leading
receivers, was discarded. 1
Though the Martins are by no
means as well represented as last
season, when Red O'Malley managed
une ot the participating-teams?and
Red Swain, sntty Myers;" Howard
Earp and Ace Villepique figured
prominently in the north's victory,
many local fans are planning to at
tend the contest in Wilson Monday
evening

Second Loss Against
Greenies In 2 Days
Thursday evening before an en
thusiastic "Ladies Night" throng, the
Greenville Greenies handed the re
surgent Martins their second con
secutive setback behind the combin
ed 7-hit hurling of Breese and Fred
die Caligiuri Bertie Ted Miller al
lowed a similar number of bingles
and whiffed six while walking one
batter, but timely Greenville hitting
and slip-shod support deprived him
of the victory.
Williamston tallied first in the \
second stanza when Les Rock sin-1
gled. advanced on an infield out and'
scored xpn Lozier Newman's bingle
to center
Then the Greenies countered in
the fifth with a three-hit. three-run
rally to take a lead that never was]
surpassed Crowe's walk and three
successive singles by Jenkins, Scagg,
and Forbes accounted for the scor
ing. The Greenies added singletons
in the seventh and eighth on Scagg's
single and Breese's double and an1
error, a sacrifice and Wilson's sin-1
glf to center.
Bert Stotlcr drew a walk to open
the Martins' ninth Brother Gaytord
reached first on a fielder's choice
and was followed in turn by Loz
ier Newman's single. Then Swain
worked Breese for a free pass, sig
nalling the Greenies' starting pitch
er's departure from the game At
this point Caligiuri took the hill and
was greeted by Popovich with a
two-run single, but Slakis flied out
to termiante the rally.

hits for four attempts, led their re
spective teams at bat

Ail-Star game
Wednesday atternoon in a wild i
and wooly exhibition of Softball, the
rampant Christians assumed the city
softball circuit pinnacle and the
Baptists continued their recent ac
celerated dash into the .500 class
The Christians victory over the
Methoterians, entailing two full
games due to a decision reached by
the league directors, toppled the
erstwhile pacesetters from the top
spot for the first time this season.
"Good pitch, no field" Price and
Jack Manning collaborated in the
opener to snatch a 13-8 decision*from
Ernest Mears and his Methoterians.
Though Mears twirled better than
the records would indicate he was
doomed to his first defeat of the sea
son by Jack Manning's stellar shut
out pitching from the fifth through
the ninth innings.
Proving their ability to give and
take under a broiling sun, the Chris
tians bounced into an early lead with
a six-run outburst in the initial inn
ing Jack Sullivan singled, advanc
ed on a sacrifice and scored on a
costly error. Then Fenner Wallace
smashed out a single to score C.
Roberson who had gained life by
virtue of the misplay. Tom Barnhill
drew a walk and Wallace immediate
ly tallied on Jack Manning's one
base hit.
Emptying the sacks with a rous
ing triple Rev. Goff caused the com
placent Methoterians no little alarm.
Parson Piephoff even began to peer
from beneath his "sheiky" Arab
looking hat in a futile search for ap
proach ing ralhclouds. ThTT "rhr*
were clear and with a nod of his
head Piephoff reluctantly returned
to his catching duties. Harrison's
one-run single accounted for the
sixth tally and ended the uprising.
However, capitalizing on Ham
Price's famous fielding weaknesses
the "down but not out" Methoterians
began to nibble into the Christians'
lead. Two runs counted in the third
and then the eventual losers went
into an 8-6 lead in the fourth when
Price collapsed like a wind-blown
tent to allow six scores on throe hits.
Two men reached base on infield
errors and then Neal "Joe LhMag
gio" Jonds clubbed out a mighty sin
gle. Price errored Wise's attempted
sacrifice and immediately after,^pick
ed up Thigpon's hunt and not know
ing where to throw finally decided
to hang onto it. A walk, Mears siu
g|? for two runs and another error
by the pitcher was the extent of the
damage.
However, Price, who even in time
of defeat retained his rabbit's foot,
with Manning's nifty relief pitching
and three Christian runs in the last
oi the tourtli, was recognized as the
winning hurler. Price singled, to
start the fourth, retiring in favor of
Pinch-runner John Uoff, Jr., and
was followed by Sullivan's single,
that due to Neal Jones' futile flog
ging as it rolled past, went for a
home run George Hoberson then
lofted a hefty blow to left field for
a real home run to give the Christ
ians their margin of victory
Jack Manning had three hits for
four attempts-Incidentally, line-third
hit of the game was his seventh in
succession, to lead Christians' power
parade, while Joe Thigpen, like C.
T. Roberson and Jack Sullivan, of
the Christians, blasted three for five
to pace the Methoterians.
Making miraculous stops-all af
ternoon Fenner Wallace, of the
Christians featured afield.
Playing somewhat steadier though
still spicing the game generously
with hobbles and misplays, the Bap
tists trounced the Episcopalians 11
to 1 to close in on the faltering Meth
oterians. Lofty Dan Peel pitched
beautiful three-hit ball in hurling
the triumph and but for Speedy
Cowen's opening of the gate on Tay
lor Malone's easy grounder in the
fourth frame and Stuart Crltcher's
screaming triple, would have easily
had a shutout.
Meanwhile his mates were pick
ing up singletons in the first and
second stanzas and racking up four
runs on two hits off Pitcher Rhodes
in the fifth. Shelbon Hall singled
and was followed in turn by a pair
of errors. Then Peel hit safely to
score a pair of runs. Two men were
retired and then Anderson reached
base on an error and Fred Taylor
followed suit And but for Ander
son's thoughtless base running which
resulted in his being trapped off
second this comedy of errors might
still he in progress.
The Baptists completed the rout
with twn runs in the seventh, fea
tured by Harcum Grimes' homer,
and three in the eighth on three hits
by S Hall, Grub Cone and Jule Har
rell.
Speedy Cowen with two for three
was the big boy with the stick for
the Baptists, while Anderson shone
afield Incidentally, Artderson'e
weekly hit knocked "Dime a Dance"

Last week City Softball Circuit
hurlers temporarily relinquished the
Indian Sicn'' that thev had
holding over the loop's batsmen and
as a Result the batting averages again
began soaring. Monopolized l>y the
Methoterian maulers, the Big Six,
extended through Wednesday, July
24, and including only players who
have batted fifteen or more times,
contains four .MethoUmans, a?Bap.
tist and a Christian. Substantial ad
varices resounded through every pb
sition save the first where Ernest
Mears skidded 71 points into a dead
lock With Jack Manning for the sec
ond slot
Disregarded laai week due to a
lack of times at bat, Fred Wise took
advantage. of Mears' plight to in
crease his AB and his average to
sneak into the "Big Boy s" vacated
position. Meanwhile Jack Manning,
one of last year's leaders who nas
just begun to blast the old apple,
showed the most spectacular advance
?by blasting seven hits for eight at
ternpts to assume a hold on the sec
ond niche.
Joe Thigpen, boasting a .429 mark,
is the only other newcomer to this
week's sacred circle.
At present Fred Wisey +me?of-4he
Methoterians, retains undisputed
possession of the lead in individual
hitting with eight for fifteen for a
.533 mark, while his chief opposi
tion is forthcoming from Mears and
Manning, deadlocked at .500 Ned
Cunningham, during the past seven
days, continued his lead in times at
bat with thirty-seven and assumed
complete control of the leadership
lh total hits with seventeen How
ever. "Bro" Shelbon Hall completed
the circuit two more tihies to shove
his total to 11 runs scored and re
tain some of the prestige lost by the
Hall family upon "Bro" Carlyle'a
downfall in total hits.
Due to an error on the part of the
statistician, C. T. Roberson's name
was unintentionally left out of the
"Big Six", his average rating him
well in the select group
Manager Red Swain
Is Optimistic Over
The Martin Chances
"Don't Count TIicm*? Fighting

Say* Skipper Swain
Manager Red Swain yesterday
promised fans and supporters of the
Williamston Martins that despite
Wednesday'ymediocre showing over
in Greenville he and his boys were
stilt in there hustling and would con
tinue to do so, win. lose or draw, un
til the end of the season. Dismissing
the 11-1 setback as a necessary evil
that plagues every winning ball club
Swain optimistically added tlvat he
expected tn va rate "The collar with4?
in a week We have a vhancr. not
a particularly good one. but a chance
to end up in the first division." con
tinued Swain 'Right now it looks
like a blanket finish between Wil

New Bern for that fourth place slot."
The red head indicated that he
