Martins Lose Their Fifth Game in a Row One-Run Margins Spell Defeat For Locals Recently Swaia FllrWt Ki*fet-llit Ball And Loses 3-2 in Snow Hill Last Night WUliamston's Martins lost their fifth consecutive game Monday eve ning in Snow Hill. 3-2, though Red Swain pitched steady eight-hit ball and whiffed six batsmen before bowing to the Billies. Little support was forthcoming from his mates who reached "Preacher" Weeks for nine hits but went hitless in the last four crucial innings. "Hie Martins racked up their ini tial tally in the third stanza on suc cessive doubles by Chuck Taylor and A1 Slakis and doubled their margin with another singleton in the fifth frame. Swain singled, advanced on a sacrifice hit and scored on singles by Charlie Wilcox and Lee Rock However, the Billies roared back in their half of the same verse to deadlock the count with a two-run insurrection Smith doubled and Weeks, former star athlete for the Methodist Orphanage, of Raleigh, clouted for the circuit to account for the damage. Hits by McCaskill. Hinton and Hurst, sandwiched about Burdette's fielder's choice, were good for the winning tally in the eighth inning. Hinotn's screaming drive hit Mana ger Swain on the leg and felled him. However, after a reet of a few min utes' duration the old atdewheelar gamely trudged back to the mound. A few moments later Kurat produc ed .the game-winning bingle Slakis and Wilcox had two hits apiece to feature for the locals while no Snow Hill performer boasted more than one safety. The fielding star was Bob Cohen, Snow Hill center fielder, who handled eight putouts and one assist without a bobble. Maaday, August 5.

Weather Wins One And Snow Hill Is Victorious Sunday Anderson Offer* Good Brand Relief Pitching Aa Mates Are Downed 5-2 Following the dedication of Sat urday night'g ball game to the gods of wet weather, the Williamston Mar tins Sunday afternoon dropped a bitter 5-2 decision to the Snow Hili Billies, their fourth consecutive lsc ing. Though Slim Gardner and An dy Anderson hold the Billies to sev en btnglea, one less than the locals manipulated off Nicoii, ole Shot's failure to adequately space the hits proved the Martins' undoing in the fourth Nicoii kept the Martins' hits well scattered except in the second verse when Swain singled to score Lester Bock. A1 Slakis homered in the succeeding stanra to complete the home team's -scoring The Billies cinched the victory and turned the key to Gardner's undo ing in the fatal fourth frame. Three walks. Bob Cohen's double and base blows by H in ton and Smith were the big blows in the flurry. Relieving Gardner, Andy Ander son pitched beautiful ball during the remaining 8 3-S innings, allow ing only three binglus and one lucky tally. He struck out one batsman and donated no free pastes in his turn on the hill. Slim received credit for losing the game which incidentally waa played in the extremely short time of an hour and twenty minutes. _ Smith led the Billies with the wil low. having three hits for four at tempts snd driving in two runs, while Locier Newman and Mack Gaylord, with a pair of safeties each, were carrying off similar honors for the locals.

Ham Price allowed but nine reasonably scattered safeties though he was bo thered at times by an old jinx, the bunted ball, in twirling the 11-4 vic tory. his sixth of the season against one defeat. Stealing the Episcopalians' thun der, Jack Sullivan, lead-off man, bunted safely to begin the Christ ians' big inning G. Roberaon follow ed with a clean single, and C. Rob eraon, recognized bunting authority who prefers to bunt anytime to bol ster the old average, followed Sulli van's example to beat out an infield hit. Then Fenner Wallace blasted one to Reg Simpson in right field which spun him about. Sullivan counting on the throw-in Consecu tive singles by Vernon Bunting and Tom Bamhill and J. Manning, mix ed with an error and Ham Price's one-base blow completed the hapless tail-enders' rout. Assuming the mound duties from the weary brow of Parson Hardy, Taylor Malone held the Christians to seven bingles and one eurned run over the rest of the route. Meanwhile his mates pestered Price's fielding weakness in the third stanza Mack Simpaon, Hardy and Fowden reach ed l?se on infield hits and two men scosed ?a Bunting's error of Green's attempted sacrifice. However, the tail-enders rally ceased in a hurry as Skinner popped out and Fenner Wallace made a remarkable stop of Cook's hot grounder. The Christians added four runs in the fourth frame on three hits, a walk and an error to mors than coun teract further Episcopalian scoring. Most notable for the Episcopalians were Reg Simpaon, who nailed two Wallace drives, each of whicli near ly laid him low in right field, and Mourice Moore, who in a pinchhit ter's role vainly whiffed at three Price pitches after loudly proclaim ing for all the arorld to see and hear his ability to put it out of the park Tom Barnhill with two for three led the Christian offensive while Keg Simpson snd Pete Fowden with like averages were sharing similar hon ors for the losers.

The Bugse zoomed into an early lead when Digaetano doubled, ad vanced on Polly Pawlak's sacrifice hit and scored on Iarossi's outfield fly. However, the Martins knotted the count in the succeeding stanza as Hack Gaylord doubled and com pleted the circuit on Swain's time ly single. Following three innings of score less play the Goldbugs slipped over the winning counter in the sixth verse. After two men had been re tired Swain purposely walked San dy Peele, with a man on first, to get to Manager Arnette. who had pre ?iously been gotten twice via the strikeout route. However, the wily old sidewheclcr proved wrong in his calculations and Arnette cracked out a single to send the Martins down in their third successive defeat. Brother Gaylord had two hits for three attempts to set off the William ston fireworks, while Digaetano had two for four to lead the Goldsboro delegation. Al Slukis featured afield for the Martins.
