Team Vanguard Will Start Moving Into Camp Next Week Manager Rogers Now Lining Up His Roster Les Rock Is Sold And Dick Cherry Traded To Wisconsin Team Martin* Will Open Training Taimp <111 Home Ground* Week From Monday Reporting here today, the Martins' skipper. Frank Rodgers is now bus ily engaged in lining up his player roster and making ready for the sea son's opener here with Tarboro on May 8. The skipper has just com pleted a preliminary training period with the Richmond Colts, and while he is still a bit sore in the joints he declares he will be ready before the youngsters get the winter kinks out. The team vanguard is expected to start moving in the latter part of next week, the skipper and President Pete Fowden both refusing to make any promises about prospects for the season. The two of them have been doing a bit of bush shaking, howev er, arid it is generally expected that the Martins will have a hustling ag gregation on the field this season. Apparently President Pete is more than satisfied with his outfield pros pects. He is fairly well satisfied with his infield, but he readily admits that the pitcher's box, while strong as far as it goes, needs some more support. Work on the infield is still in prog ress. and it is possible that a few changes will follow. New recruits are also being called for mound duty. Manager Frank Rodgers has releas ed no dope in connection with play er help from the Richmond Colts, but it is likely that he will be ready to fill at least four positions and more, if necessary, with "borrowed" men. The team personnel will hard ly take on a complete appearance until the training season opens Mon day week. The management is in Elizabeth City today looking over a prospect, and Ted Miller says he has scored a real find right over in Bertie. The new find is a second baseman, * and he is second to none i at the bat," Miller declares. Big Ted is ready to go and is looking forward to a great season under Manager Rodgers. Alfred Slakis, the hard- ? working youngster at second and third last season, returned his con tract last week to round up the old player list w ith the exception of Red Swain. Harry is working up in Penn- j sylvania and doing right well and , it is possible that he will not report * Easter Is Important As A Trade Factor Easter's importance as a trade fac-1 tor is emphasized in figures show-1 ing nation's department store sales , for week ending March 29 were 34 per cent above same week of 1940 This follows fiva or six weeks in which the gains over same-week- ; last-year grew steadily smaller, and even turned into a two per cent drop fojLweek ending March 22- Explana tion is that the 34 per cent gain is for a week corresponding to the one that came after Easter in 1940. A more accurate line on the actual pace of retail business, however, is gain ed from the fact that, for the four weeks period also ending March 29, this season. The management has another good man waiting to take his place, however. Lester Rock, hist year's first base man who is now playing in the Canal Zone, has been sold to Superior. Wisconsin, for $350, President Fow den completing the deal by telephone last Tuesday evening. Dick Cherry has l>een traded to the same team for a first baseman who rates experience but who is not in the veteran class "We hated to trade Dick, but a check up on the contracts showed we had too many veterans, and someone had to go," President Fowden explained Opening their training camp on April 21. the Martins will appear as a team in a game against Durham here on Sunday, April 27, the sea son opening about ten days later.
