The Rah-igli White Flaslu-s came
here Wednesday night, and when
they left they took most of the
feathers from our favorite semi
pro basketball team, the Martins.
The visiting team went out in front
-at-the beginning of the contest and
stayed there until the end. chalking
up a 46-35 decision.
The Martins were considerably
"off form" and only at intervals did
they show any of their former
smoothness, with their guarding be
ing far from up to par
The "White Flashes brought Jim
Waller, former Wake Forest cage
star, and he proved his worth on the
trip by bagging 7 field goals and 2
free shots for a total of 16 points to
lead the scoring of both teams. John
Jett, another Wake Forest product
who also starred as a football play
er, was second high for the night,
counting 12 points from his center
position. Sweel, still another Wake
Forest star, and McCall, were next
high for the Flashes with 9 points
each.
In the Williamston attack, Pap
Diem was high man with II points,
'rltwfly?fo 1 lowt*d?by Bocko Andert?o11
was scored HI points. Cecil Longest*
former Coastal Plain baseball hurl
er, was next high with 7 points Fen
ner Wallace and Anderson played
unusually well for the locals
But the White Flashes said they
were seeking revenge, and nobody
can say they didn't get it!

Of Chili \t Met*ling
Next Moiitluv
The fate i?f Willianistun's entry |
in the Coastal Plain Baseball League
will be determined next Monday |
night when the club directors meet
for a study of the pledged support
"If we see there is sufficient support
behind the club, we vmII tell the
league directors i<t their mooting in
Greenville the following night that
we are in. If there isn't sufficient
suppovt pledged for the operation of
the club, we will tell the league di
rectors that Williamston is out." a
L'lub director s.od this morning
Support pledged to date e very
encouraging, according to Ctxrb tTrs
ident Leslie T Fowden. but he points
out that the drive for $2,500 is $500
jjhort of its gt?al. The approximate
lv $2.001) already p1i>dg.??^?includes |
anticipated revenue from the sale
of advertisements on the fence. It
is quite apparent now that if base
nail is to be seen in Williamston this
Loming summer, the "little" fans
will have to come across w ith libei
nl donations. The $2,000 figure rep
resents several $100 donations and
quite a few ranging up to and slight
ly above $50. Pledges of that size
have just about been exhausted and
baseball is now staring the little
fans in the face for an answer
It is well understood that plans
this season will be abandoned if the
pledged support is considered in
sufficient by the directors
Negotiations for a manager are
still underway, and a contract is ex
pected not later than noon tomor
row, its final consumation depend
ing upon the decision the fans make
between now and next Monday
night and final action by the board
>f directors. If the decision is favor
able, the directors will instruct Pros
ident Fowden to drop Willianistun's
name in the pot at the league meet ?
mg in Greenville. If the decision is I
unfavorable, there is some doubt if j
the club w ill even be represented !
