After surrendering its berth 111 the
Coastal Plain League last Saturday,
Snow Hill yesterday was re-admlt
ted to the circuit by the loop direct
ors. the action giving the league the
same line-up in effect during the
past two seasons?Snow Hill, Golds
boro, New Bern. Kinston, Wilson,
Greenville, Tarboro and Williams
ton.
Apparently convinced that Joe
Exum would not maintain the fran
chise and finance the club opera
tions. Snow Hill fans accepted the
sponsibifity and made a special
trip here Sunday to seek admission.
A telegraphic poll of the league di
rectors yesterday favored by a un
animous vote the retention of Snow
Hill as a member of the loop.
.No formal annlication had been
filed by any other town, and Rocky
Mount, advised of Snow Hill's bid
for re-entry stated that fans there
would file no application for admis
sion into the league in opposition to
Snow Hill. It was stated that Rocky
Mount had made tentative plans for
forming a club and taking over the
Billies' franchise. It was reported
early yesterday afternoon that Tar
boro would oppose Snow Hill's claim
to a franchise in the league, but a
poll of the votes unanimously sup- g
ported the Billies' claim.
Mr Josh Home, of Rocky Mount,
wrote to Mr. Goodmon, as follows
"I am unmoved from the feeling
and position which I have previous
ly taken in this matter that until
the eight clubs as previously oper
ating had been given every chance
and that in a finalty when they did
decline and not until then would I
or those with whom 1 am associated
have been willing to make an appli
cation for a franchise in the league."
Following the vote poll, League
President R. H. Goodmon advised j w
the schedule committee to draft a ; a
playing schedule for submission to | ai

SPORTSMANSHIP
The county basketball tourna
ment was a success from all an
gles, especially the sportsman
ship shown by every team and
its followers, and the officiating.
The entire tourney was run
off without mishap, and never
was there any argument over
decisions, a fact that should be
impressed upon everyone. De
spite the thrilling and clone con
tests, the officials, Bosko An
derson and Hack Gaylord. held
the situation well in hand and
should be complimented on their
thorough and capable handling
of what could have become a
difficult situation.
Congratulations are extended
to the high school teams, their
roaches and followers, and the
officials. We think everyone
had a fine time, enjoyed a first
class tournament, and hereby
vote to give every team a tro
phy for their clean play through
out the series.
