' Is This the Derby? (Continued from Page 1—Sec. A It was a great tribute to a man dubbed by his rival manager from the Tars, Bull Hammond, ‘‘one of the finest gentlemen I have ever come in contact with in my 10 years of professional baseball and one who has the deepest respect of every man on my ball club.” It was Stu Martin night in fact as in name and the easy-going man-of-the-hour accepted it with becoming dignity. Fighting back the pride that had to be in him, he told the fans that the honor belonged to “his boys” and gently chided them for the heavy floral horseshoe gift with an "is this the Kentucky Derby?” They answered that last with a mighty cheer to let Stu know it was, to them, bigger than the Derby and that to the Victor be longed the roses. The Whitneys could have their horses — Gotham could have Babe Ruth—Illinois could have Red Grange—Roanoke Rapids had Stu Martin and tha£ was all it wanted Tuesday night in a sim ple little ceremony at home plate in Simmons Park. After they'd stood up in trib ute to a great manager and a great team, the party broke up and Stu went back out to his spot at third to tell them in the only way he knew just how good he felt—by playing the game of baseball with everything i that was in him for the fans who had stuck with him all the way. And he came trotting home on a wild pitch in the second game turned the tables on the Tars by tor the winning run as the Jays the same 1-0 count by which they had lost the first game. , Notables Praise (Continued from Page 1—Sec. A Introduced by Neal, Frank Wil l'ams, local textile mill official, gave the inside story on the Jay. t ee committee's seeking a lease on Simmons Park. "We knew that Roanoke Rap ids was the finest baseball town in Eastern North Carolina and we told the Jaycees we didn’t think it necessary for them to ^ purchase these grounds,” Williams told the crowd. "So we leased it to them for 10 years for the enormous sum of one dollar." Here he paused, then added, jestingly: "So far we haven’t been able Id collect the dollar.” Helms next Introduced Dick Herbert, Raleigh sports editor, With a fine tribute to Herbert’s . predecessor* Tony McKelvin, who * died last December after- two oecades on the News and Ob server sports desk. Herbert commended the town, club officials, the fans and Mar lin for the fine spirit shown here for the great American game of baseball. Neal then presented the gifts to Martin and hung a giant horse shoe of roses around the man rger's neck as he approached the P microphone. "My family and I deeply appre ciate all these ine gifts," Martin said. “The honor, however, right fully belongs to the team. We may* be a little late for it this season, but next year we hope to give you a winning ball club.” After the fans had given Mar tin and the Jays a standing vote of confidence, the ceremonies were terminated and the second game of the doubleheader com menced. lummy OLury Birthday Party Tommy Story* son of Mr. and Mrs. “Bill” Story, celebrated his second birthday with a party at the home of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. L.
