Canvass For Baseball Funds Gets Underway Time Is Short For Reaching Decision For Coming Season Several Sizable Pledgee Have Already Been Reported By Canva?MT8 Here Wilhamston fans today are mak ing up their minds about baseball for another season, early reports frankly stating that no definite de cision had been reached and that it would be sometime next week be fore the future of the sport here is finally determined. It is rumored that the outlook is not very encouraging just at this time, for it has been frankly stated that the organization set up a few weeks ago will not officially turn the first tap until an able support is pledged the club to make certain that operations will be maintained according to schedule. Plans, sub ject to a successful drive for funds, have been advanced for the opera tion of the club. Contracts for a player-manager and several play ers are pending definite fan action. EAGLES VS. COLERAIN Next Monday night at 8 p. m in the local gym. the Eagles will play their second home game of the season when they meet the Colerain Red Devils in what should be a nip and tuck bat tle. Big Jim Rollins, a former mounds man for the Martins, has filed his application for the job of piloting the Martins, and negotiations with several other managers are being advanced. The future of the sport from the player-manager angle is encouraging, Pete Fowden, club pres ident. declares. Getting back to the first object, that of raising $2,500. the canvass ers state that several $100 donations had already been pledged, that the $600 forfeit money had been raised, and that total contributions up to the present hour will total well over $1,000. The response given by the loyal fans, as a group, will turn the tide. If everyone contributes some thing. the sport can be retained Here, hut unless the "little" fellows come across with liberal offerings, the franchise is lost. And reliable reports itate that other towns in this sec tion of the State are eagerly await ing the opportunity to get into the Coastal circuit. ix More Days January Clearance Before Our Comes to an End You have only six morr day* to buy quality mere hand i*e at greatly redueed prieen.

Stu dent-faculty games have come to be an interesting feature of the basket ball season and Tuesday night's I games were no exception as "Old | age huffed and puffed" in the con test with youth. The local girls de feated the teachers by a score of 24 to 22 while the men teachers over came the boys, 48 to 19 Misses Mewborn, Bradley, Glazen er, Everett, and Mrs. Edwards with | the help of Frances Humble, Elsie Gurganus. and Bernice Ward lost I to the girls only after a thrilling | second half finish brought the game to an end and the teachers to near] exhaustion. Consuming a can of spinach (Pop eye brand) shortly after the begin ning of the second half, the ladies took a new lease on life and surged forward to within two points of the varsity team as "Shorty" Bradley and Mewbuin?hit the basket con sistently. Sighs of relief were audi ble throughout the gym when the timekeeper's whistle sounded, leav ing the local girls with the victory. In the second game of the evening the men teachers, forgetting for the moment the weight of years, play ed brilliantly to more than double the score on the locaT boys. Taking the floor with a team composed of Yates, Cobb, Butler, Hix and Ed wards, the pedagogues, aided by I some expert assistance from ringer, "Bosko" Anderson, of the Martins, built up a safe margin early in the I game. All of the teachers were lucky en ough to hit the basket with Edwards scoring 21 points, Hix eight, Cobb four, Yates, four, Butler three, and Anderson, six. Playing off form the local lads were not up to their usual game, and were at times somewhat outdone by the antics of the teachers. Clifton Ward led the students with a total of seven points. The local boys and girls continue their interscholastic competition here tonight when they engage teams from Farm Life.

Eagles Defeated By Rocky Mount. 43-26 The Rocky Mount Y varsity bas ketball team was too strong and too taJl for the?Local Eagle.*.. l.isi nigh and the Ragles returned with more of their tail feathers plucked, to the tune of a 43-26 score. Displaying a swift-moving and versatile attack, the winners took an early lead and stayed in front all the way, the half time score being 22-9 in their favor. The locals came hack stronger af -tur?intermission, but could neVer come within striking distance of the lead as continued pass interceptions by six-foot five George Lacy, and three other six footers thwarted most of the Ragles' scoring efforts The < winners' gained possession of practically all the rebounds as they used their superior height to an ad vantage. The locals' weakness in backing up shots under the basket partially contributed to their down fall. Pacing the victors in their triumph were Lacy, Boston Red Sox catcher who winters in ffocky Mount, with a good floor game and ?T~po in is; G. Watson, tall guard with 13 points, mostly batted in under the basket, and Cliff Felton, with 8 points. The Eagles were led by Fenner Wallace, borrowed from the Mar tins to replace Tom Skinner, ailing with the flu, who played a bang-up floor game, and scored 12 points, and hustling Howard Earp, with 8. Cow en, with four, was next.
