Williamston Martins Now One Game Out Of Fourth Place Battle To Be Terrific For Next Ten Days Goldsboro Has To Be Dethroned By Martins Tomorrow 1941 Coastal Plain Season Will End On Thursday, September 4th ?

Rocky Mount's Leafs, in sixth place, are one game behind the Mar tins. All of which goes to prove that | anything can be expected during the [ next ten days as the pressure will be | on at least four teams. Williamston plays in Rocky Mount I tonight, with Ken Rymer slated to | do the mound work. Tomorrow night Goldsboro and the Martins will meet in the local park for the last time this season. In a desperate effort to place the local team back in the first division Skip per Frank Rodgers has announced that veteran Pete Kunis will pitch the contest. Should the Martins take this victory, they would still have a | fine chance of ending up in the play offs. According to unofficial records, the Martins are scheduled to play two more games with Rocky Mount, Wilson, Tarboro and Kinston. Sin gle games remain on docket with Goldsboro and the New Bern Bears Merit Awards Teach Useful Farm Lesson N. C. State College officials didn't realize it at the time, but when they awarded certificates of meritorious service to three outstanding agricul turists, by pure coincidence they taught one of the essentials for suc cessful farming. J. W. Kiker, of Anson County, was recognized for his work in corn breeding, T. J. W. Broome for his srevice of 30 years as farm agent in Union County and for his promo tion of lespedeza. and A. O McEach ern of New Hanover County for do veluping fine dairy faille. The work of these three men rep resents a complete program and cy cle for successful agriculture, ac cording to A. C. Kimrey, extension dairy specialist of N. C. State Col lege. Explaining, he pointed out that Mr. Kiker developed corn which-i? the backbone of livestock feeding. Mr. Broom promoted the use of les pedeza in North Carolina, represent ing hay and grazing, both highly es sential for success in dairying. Finally, Mr McEachern on his Eastern Carolina farm developed fine dairy animals to consume all of these feeds, converting them into cash and good living for farm peo ple. This practical lesson might be put to good use in the State's rapidly ex panding dairy industry, the State College specialist pointed out. Not only is it a good lesson for the large dairyman, he added, but for the fam ily owning just one cow. Plenty of home-grown feeds will aid in combatting rising prices, Kim rey went on, affording larger mar gins on the sale of milk and other state 'jams in udw For Ponltry Honors North Carolina has moved into 14th place among states in the num ber of chickens raised on farms this year, helped by a 20 per cent 11 crease over the past 10-year average, reports C. J. Maupin, extension poul tryman of N. C. State College. This compares with a nation-wide jump over the average for the past decade of only 9 per cent, according to figures just released by the Agri cultural Marketing service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture A part of this large increase in production for the State is due to the growing interest commercial broiler production Federal figures show North Carolina to .be one of the nine states now producing 5,000.000 or more broilers annually. At the same time, Maupin said. Tar Heel hens are laying more eggs. Dur ing July, it is estimated that pro duction hit 61,000,000, an increase of 3,000,000 eggs over the same month a year ago. Similarly, production for the first seven months of this year soared 23,000,000 over the same per fod in 1940: ???-? Other states are marching along in this Government-aided drive for larger poultry numbers. The latest Federal report says "the number of chickens "raised 'on farm s in 1941 will exceed all past records." The number ojf layers in farm flocks on August fil was the largest for the past eight years. Marlins Lose To Tarboro" s Orioles 5-4 Friday Evening Fred Hoyle and Hark Gay lord Lead Futile Attark * Manager Poke Whalen's Tarboro Orioles took their second victory in as many nights from the Williamston Martins when they defeated the Rodgersmen 5-4 last Friday evening in the Edgecombe capital. ?George Zit/ler pitched the win for the Oriotes and hurled shut-out ball after the first inning when the Mar tins started off with a four run at tack. Slim Gardner again started on the mound for Williamston but was re placed by Harry Humphries in the fifth. Humphries allowed only one bingle during his three and 2-3 in ning work-out. .

Public Opinions . . . by "buff" Finishing up his sixth or sev enth season of umpiring in this section?having started before the Coastal Plain became pro? Mr Tom "Hateful" Hanna of fered the following information after a lot of arguing? "The toughest job in the Coastal Plain League, and the one that is the least appreciative, is not umpiring. Anyone who has been on the inside of the Coastal Plain League this year realizes what a very compe tent job Ray Goodmon. the presi dent of the circuit, has done. His um piring staff has gone through many , changes, and Kay has had to take the ' continual panning of the fans and scribes for the work of some of his arbiters. "The fact that a number of the leagues in the country have fold ed. and the very fact that the Coastal Plain League continues is due to his masterful work manship as its head. "As to the umpires, they are that seems to me that the grandstand umpires could guess 'em right some*] times -they are always guessing wrong The job of selecting good I umpires has been very difficult. ; They have come to Mr Goodmon with a good recommendation. He has never seem them work, therefore, the only thing he can do is to try j them. "It's a fast that umpires do err be cause they are only human. They do it in the big leagues, and the public | forgets they are in Class D: if they were better than that, they'd be in better leagues. The public, of course.. pays the salaries of the umpires by their attendance, and if that same person, who hollers at an umpire, be cause of an error, makes one him self in the office, he rubs it out, but the poor fellow out there in the field ^as to take it. "Tt seems to me that if the um- ? pires were given a little more praise, instead of criticism, this umpiring racket wouldn't be so tough. It doesn't matter about ragging an ole timer, but these young fellows are conscientious; they are trying too hard. Why don't the fans in the Coastal Plain League forget the New York Yankees and the big leagues and remember they are in Class I) and they can only expect Class I) umpiring? I'll take umpiring . . . You can have the. president's job " Tom Manna, the "butt" of a nuni bor of dirty crock* by thi* volunm , during the season, has been a great right-hand man to the league presi dent After all, thi> "dean of the cir cuit's arbiters." as he is popularly ; known by everyone, is no longer a youngster, yet he has been jumping around the circuit smoothing out a lot of "bad situations." . . . Manna's greatest habit, especially when work ing behind the plate, is singing "Ole Hocking Chair's Got Me" ... Of course, he avers lie can also "do! up the classics" STRAIGHT .

The Martins started strong, scoring two runs in the first frame when Judy Pride singled to left field, and Fred Hoyle's grounder was errored. the climax coming when Hack (Jay lord, playing his first game at home this season, doubled to right-center field to knock in both tallies. Six more runs were added in the second Babe Tuekey, Charlie Fer fell and Pea Green singled in order, but Pride furred Turkey at tin- plate. Elmer Cone singled to left field, to send in Ferrell and Green Hoyle's safety brought in Pride, and an in tentiorial walk?p? Sp.trr filled the bases, and put Gay lord at bat. Hack's single to c< nterfield, which was or mred by Crowe, cleared the bases except fur "Knithrr"~rm third. Skipper Frank Hodgers' home run in the fifth accounted for the other local tally. ,?? ??-? Pea Green hurled shutout ball for the first five innings, but in the sixth, the Greenies combined two doubles, a single, an error and a walk to score four runs and send Green from the game Harry Hum phries then took over the mound du ties, allowing two runs in the eighth off two singles and a double. After one man was out in the ninth two singles and an error gave the visitors another score, and Skipper Hodgers promptly inserted Ken Ky mer, who ended the affair by mak ing the next two batters fly out Gaylord, with three hits for four tups, and knocking in four of the Martin runs, wasTfie aTlernoon's Bai ting star.
