Martins Lose First Two Games in Semi Finals To Tarboro Will Make Strong Bid Today To Coin Place in the Little World Series Dropping the first two by counts of 12-0 and 0-3, the Martins today enter the third contest in the Coas tal Plain semi-finals this afternoon with their backs to the trail- The Martins are meeting a determined opposition, and even though they face Snake Henry's Tarboro Ser pents without a leg to stand on there is some reason to believe that thei first round in post-season play is not over. Weather permitting the Serpents and Art Hauger's boys meet on the Tarboro lot this after noon at 330 o'clock. It eras a tough day over in Tar boro Sunday when the Serpents struck to land 15 hits, four for ex tra ha sci, and score 12 runs. After shaking the bag for about two hours, the Martins found two hits, one each by Stanley and McCay, but no runs. Mooney held doom the mound for Tarboro, while Jefferson. S trunk and Fields took turns in the box for Willis met on Errors marred the contest, but they carried no weight in deciding the turn of victory. Henry opened the first game with a single in the second, and Tatum homered, the 12-run attack taking drfinita form right than. Two hits and two walks netted two more runs for the Serpents in the fourth. Four hits, two free tickets to fust and two errors featured a big blow-up in the fifth and Tarboro scored 7 runs Williamiton fans started leav ing for home. The Serpents rested after scoring another run in the Big Jim Rollins pitched on even terms with Big Bob Casaell yester day afternoon on the local lot, but uncertain playing gave the visitors a 6-3 victory. The Martins scored a lone run in the third, but the Ser pents tied the count in the fourth and went on a spluige m the sixth and pushed over four runs. Rimmet opened with a home run over the right field fence, the first to go over that barrier this season. Snake Henry singled but was forced at second by Campbell. Jun Tatum took first when hit by a pitched ball. Campbell scored on Lehman's single, and about that time another blow-up was recorded. The visitors based four runs on as many hits, an error and a hit halunan Williams ton added a run in the fifth and ViUepuiue's homer ended the scor ing in the next frame. Tarboro scor ed its sixth and last run in the ninth C atari I yielded nine hits, fan ned five. Rollins yielded 10 hits and Board Refuses To Reverse Stand On Bus Route Change SvImmsI Patrons I. Macedonia Am To Provide Private Travd for Children The Martin County Board of Edu cation in special imlnn here yester day again approved a proposed change in the routing of school busses in the Macedonia section of Bear Grass and Griffins Townships, denying about 23 pupils free trans portation to the W illiamston school.

IE.1L, It Presence of Tuberculosis Cases Causing Concern in Oak City The reported nuam at about eleven active caaea of tuberculosis in the Oak City community a causing much concern there, and it was unofficially learned that the county health authorities will be asked the latter part of this week to make investigations- While the people there are envious for a study of the conditions, the presence of m many cases at tuber culosis in such a comparatively snail community is not causing any great alarm, it was learned. According to information reach ing here most of the cases are out hde the school population, and au morities are certain that the open ing of the term Thursday will not aggravate the situation. However, they are anxious that conditions both in the community and in tl school be investigated, and it is b beved that a survey will relieve much of the anxiety ?^"t these. Reliable reports on the actual number of cases these are in the Oak City community will probably be placed before the county board of health in special sr mm the lat ter part of this week or earlier, if possible. It is expected that the county authorities anil ask the ser vices of State health men and sug gest that an investigation of condi tions be made as soon as passible. Information reaching here from Oak City indicates that an inves tigation will be welcomed, ai that the people, school and county health group will render any ass lance possible. District W.P. A.
