Williamston Goes Forward With Plans For Baseball Club Directors Vote To Retain Franchise; Frank Rogers Will Be Employed To Manage Martins Directors Vote To Play Ball Despite Incomplete Pledges Club President To Pu*l liSMHI l)e|H?Hil With liruyue at Mpftinfi Tonight Williamston will have baseball in 1941, so ruled the club directors fol lowing a frank discussion qf the sit uation in a long meeting last night. Mindful that these cold days and .evenings will be followed by long, hot days next summer, the directors, assured of a libearl support by fans in various parts of the county us well as those in Williamston. decid ed to go along in the league this coming season. Leslie T. Fowden. club president, was instructed to attend the league meeting in Greenville tonight and post the club's $600 deposit. He was empowered to vote on player class ifications and other question^ that will possibly be placed before the league meeting. While no material change in the player classification is anticipated, it is likely that the league officials will spend a great er part of tonight wrangling over various topics. It is fairly certain that the league will advance a mut ual agreement whereby expenses can be held to a minimum. The meeting took action last night despite an apparent shortage in pledges, the treasurer stating that the club is about $500 short of its goal of $2,500 However, word has been received from fans outside of town indicating that some financial support could be expected from them. In fact, several county fans have already posted pledges, accord ing to the club treasurer. The directors last Saturday tenta lively agreed to employ Frank Rodg ers, former manager of the Wilson Tobs, to pilot the Martins this com ing season No contract has been signed at this time, but terms have been agreed upon and signatures are expected Plans for lining up the Martins' roster will be delayed until after the league meeting tonight.
