Martins Lose Two Straights to Kinston Eagles: Win Over the Greenies in Mid-Week Schedule Eagles Hit Three Pitchers To Win One-sided Contest Miller Forced Out By Sore Shoulder; Rock's Homer Redeeming Feature Thursday evening the Marlins ab sorbed their second consecutive ahaUaekiac at the hands of the Kin-] ston Eagles by a 10-1 margin as thr ee loca lelbowere marched to the hill in a futile attempt to check the Eagles. Ted Miller started and hurl ed two-hit ball until the fifth when he was relieved by Longest and the latter in due course was relieved by Andy Anderson. The Eagles seized an insurmount able advantage with a five-run bar rage based on a triple by Demasi. Overton's single and Bator's double and three free passes in the fatal fifth. Incidentally, a misunderstand ing arose over a close play at first in this stanza and the game was play ed under protest The invaders add ed to their lead with two runs in the seventh and smashed over three more in the ninth to complete their scoring. Until the eighth Phil McCullough, formerly with the New Bern Bears., effectively applied the whitewash brush. However, in this verse Les Rock poled a screaming liner over the fence in deepest center to per sonally account for the Martins' tal lying. Thursday, August 1.

Poor Fit-Ming Feature 5-3 Victory For Kuglt-M Good pitching and poor fielding predominated in Kinston's 5-3 vic tory over the Martins Wednesday evening in the Lenoir capital. Aging Slim Gardner pitched steady nine hit ball, but was deprived of the victory aa Bill Zinser. despite five costly errors, limited the locals to seven scattered base hits and three unearned runs. Battling along in the throes of a three-all deadlock the Eagles blast ed over their victory margin in the home-half of the lucky seventh A walk, an error and Kennedy's long double accounted for the scoring The Martins came rourfng back in the ninth in an effort to win the game. However Zinser whiffed Mar tin Manager Red Swain, always a deadly hitter, to end the threat. Each pitcher struck out eight batsmen, but Gardner walked three, two more than did Zinser. Roy Ken nedy garnered four of the clouts al lowed by Gardner including a dou ble and a triple, to head the Eugles' run-making machine as Hack Gay lord, with two for three, was shar ing similar honors for the locals Tuesday, July 30.

Balk: Jen Zinser Asserts His Power To Defeat Martins In Kinston Six-Run Barrage in Third Inn ing Settles Issue in Favor Of the Martins After several disastrous attempts. the up-and-coming Wttiiamaton Mar tins in their home port finally scut tled the Greenville Grecnies 11-6 on Tuesday evening behind the nine hit pitching of Cecil Longest. The lo cals bang??d three Greenville elbow ers for 15 hits in notching up the victory. Greenville seized a useless early lead with singletons in the initial three innings, but the Martins, com mencing their scoring with a run in the second stanza, thoroughly set tled the issue with a six-ran barrage in the third. Slakis doubled and counted on Wilcox' single, the latter scoring on Lester Rock's tremendous triple to right field Stotler doubled to left-center and timely-hitting Lo zier Newman singled him home. Pil fering second. Newman tallied on Popovich's one base blow The ex tended rally was concluded when Longest drew a walk and Taylor sin gled. advanced on an error on the play and was trapped between sec ond and third for the final out. Two additional runs, enough in them selves to insure the victory, came across when A1 Slakis homered with Taylor aboard in the fifth. Single tons in the fourth and seventh inn ings completed the Martins' scoring for the evening. Greenville attempted an insurrec tion in the ninth when a pair of walks and an error, and a long dou ble by Jenkins were good for two runs, but Longest, who whiffed five and donated six free passes, settled down to quell the uprising Lozier Newman, with three for four, was Williamston's batting star, while Bennie Crowe, with three for five paced the Greenville offense.

Methoterians vs. Christians TuMday. August 6. Baptists vs. Episcopalians. Wednesday ~af lei noon before a paltry sprinkling of fans the Spiv eys battled for 11 innings on prac tically even terms with the Cobbs before finally subduing them in the twelfth with a savage five-run as sault that netted them a 7-2 triumph It was the first of a project series of Ciy Softball circuit "All-Star" con tests and produced all that its name implies in the way of thrills, tight hurling and stellar defensive play. Capitalizing on John Hardy's stin gy shutout hurling throughout the first five frames, the Spiveys. com posed of the first place Christians and the tail-end Episcopalians, seized a two-run advantage in the sixth stanza. However. Ernest "Big Boy" Mears. twirling five-hit ball, tight ened down and held the eventual victors scoreless throughout the re mainder of his seven inning mound adventure. For two and one-third innings Hardy's successor. Jack Manning, handcuffed or kept the Cobbs in their places, pitching hitless ball But after one man had been retired in the eighth the Cobbs. made up of selected Baptist and Methoterian stars, broke their bondage to knot the count. Summerlin, relieving Mcars, rapped out a single and TTiig jen reached base on a fielder s choice. Successive bingles by Boy km and Cunningham combined with a wild pitch furnished the extent of the Cobbs effectiveness. Meanwhile Jack Sullivan of the victors desperately trying to tally in the sixth on a close play at home in order to relieve his mates the trouble of playing overtime, was badly shaken up. Flipping over Shel bon Hall, who was blocking the base path. iu- nearly did a somersault and justatried a heavy lick on his stfoul eler-boF continued playing. In the final stanza the Christians heavy artillery aided by n few of the Episc<>paljans' m<>st powerfill fleld pieces shook Summerlin, who had previously allowed one hit in four frames, like a leaf in a tornado. C. Roberson, first up. tripled and count ed on Wallace's tremendous fly ball to right field. Tom Barnhill then singled and was followed in turn by winning pitcher Taylor Malone's similar blow. Both scored on Tom Skinner's triple and the bases were ince again scoured on G. Roberson's mighty triple, he himself complet ing the circuit on a wild pitch The Cobbs went three up three down in their?futile half of the twelfth igainst Malone's twirling. Tom Skinner and Ned Cunning ham led their respective forces at the plate with three bingles apiece though Skinner had slightly the better of the argument by virtue of Ins tlnee runs baited in Baptist Speedy Cowen's brilliant play in leftfield and at the keysack gave credence to the heckling charge that the Christians were planning to car ry him on their next picnic. How ever, Mr. Goff could not be reached and the rumor was unsubstantiated. Spiveys Ab Sullivan, cf 4 () 2 M Simpson, c 5 0 "IT C.
