New Bern's Bears
Unkind To Martins
In Yesterday's Tilt
knowlea Lrada Bear Attack
On Two Local Hurler*
For 10-1 Victory
New Bern's Bears went on a ram
page over there last night and clip
ped the wings of the Martins to the
tune of 10-1. They went to work from
the very beginning and shellacked
Slim Gardner from the mound. Ry
mer went in for the Martins in the
second frame, but the Bears had
started and were hard to slow down.
Williamston's only tally came in
the fifth inning. An attempted ral
ly in the eighth was nipped in the
bud when Ken hit a home run with
the bases loaded, but was called out
for failing to touch first base.
Chuck Taylor was the only Mar
tin to get two hits off the offerings
of Robertson. Reggio, with four for
four, and Worliss Knowles, with two
home runs for three trips, weije best
for the Bears.

LADIES' NIGHT
Tonight is Ladies' Night at
the local ball park when the
Williamston Martins meet the
New Bern Bears. All ladies will
be admitted tree, with the ex
ception of a 10-cent defense tax
placed on the games by I'nele
Sam.
Teddy Miller will be on the
mound for the Martins, and
President Fowden Is anticipat
ing a record turn-out of the fair
sex along with their husbands
and friends.
Public
Opinion
AND THE LIKE
Tonight being tin- time set for cut
ting down the Coastal Flam clubs
to the regular 15 player limit, we can
find out who is going to stay where
... Of course, Skipper Rodgers has
not been carrying but 16 men, and
the decision will not be hard for him.
but several managers are having a
hard time making a final decision .
Usually, the man you release makes
a better ball player than the one you
keep, or they do a lot of the time . ? .
Why?
The ladies get a free night at
the local ball park as far as the
Martins are concerned, but ole
I'nele Sam will continue to get
his rake-off for the defense pro
gram. So when you ladies have
to pay a dime, don't get mad at
Prexy Pete and Company?they
did all they could.
Why?
After much argument between
Slim Gardner and Ted Miller, it
was finally decided that Miller would
pitch for the ladies tonight Slim
argued that the Skipper should use
his best-looking Hurler for this spec
ial event, and that couldn't be any
body but himself He even offered
to wear his store-bought molars for
the occasion, but lost the argument
when it was found out he Was "too
young".
Why?
The Martins are making an unus
ual amount of extra base hits these
days . They are swinging hard
and running fast . Still showing
the spirit and pep everyone likes to
see, win or lose, and that is why the
Contributions May
Be Made Without
Fear or Trembling
Set'* Chance of Spirited and
Hustling Martins in
I'lav-off
Concerning the situation of the
Wilhamston Martins baseball team
?your team?President Pete Fow
den issues the following statement
As President of the Williamston
Baseball Club, I wish to thank all
the people in behalf of the officers
of this team and the players for their
kind and loyal support so far this
season. Being the smallest town in
the league, we have enjoyed a very
good crowd and the support of the
town people, country people and all
our neighbors. If they will liear with
us just a bit longer. I am quite sure
the team will reach the point where
we Mill be proud of them.
In the infield, there is only one
man old enough to vote or be regis
tered for the draft That man is
your first baseman, Chester Sparr,
who, at the present writing, is the
leading hitter in the league
I think the people have shown a
real sportsmanlike attitude and if
we can keep this up. we will have a
dandy team, when Manager Rodgers
has had time to whip this young
bunch of players into shape, s,, that
they will not only know how to get
the hall, but what to do with it af
ter they get it
There are a lot of people who have
not been called on to see what they
would like to contribute to their team
and I know they want to, as it is im
possible to get any more out of any
thing than you put in it. There are
a lot of people in this town and it is
rather hard to see every man, so, if 1
you want to contribute, please don't
wait to lie called upon, as you can see
Dick Smith, Pete Fowden, or any
other director and tell them what
you wish to donate to your team.
You can do this without fear or
trembling You know we must all
do our bit to have a team However
if you don't see it that way, please
favor us with your presence and
loyalty you have shown in the last
two weeks.
Remember it is your team and if
they don t watch us, we are going to
he hanging around fourth place if
not third, at the end of the season
We might say hats off to Slim Card
ner and Berl Stotler

crowds are larger this season . . .
Chuck Taylor has been playing a
week or more when he should be
: in bed . . He is sick enough and al
I so has a bad ankle . . Babe Tuckey
is also under the weather, but he
continues to get his two-base hits
with regularity . . Skipper was
knocked out in Tarboro by a throw
to first base He's looking for an
osteopath . . .
Why?
la it possible for the Martina
to end up this season in the top
division? Already this question
is being asked and discussed, and
there have been any number of
answers with different "ifs". Af
ter seeing the other seven clubs
It looks like Wilson is in for
beeps, but the others seem knot
ted up in about the same calibre.
Somehow, It looks like there is
going to be a tough struggle the
last of August for those other
three choice spots, and the Mar
tins look as good as any others
we've seen, don't they?
Why?
If you don't think the Williamston
games are being well advertised,
ask Hal Dickens, demon publicity
agent Hal distributes handbills to
the neighboring towns, and last Sat
urday he was seen passing out the
printed notices on our own main
street. Mr. Dickens has been doing
a fine job, and one can well realize
the results of his work by seeing the
many strange faces at the games
Visits iu Burlington
Hudson Hoyle was the guest of I
friends in Burlington over the week

Skipper Lists
Changes
With injuries, sure arms and
other developments. Skipper
Frank Rodgers has announced
several chances in thr personnel
of the Williamston Martins.
With the signing of Pea Green,
former Wilson mound ace. the
Skipper released Hartis H in ton
and Wilcox last Saturday. Green
had an impressive record with
the Tobs. and Ukes to work of
ten . Ken Rymer. promising
rookie, will be out for several
days with a sore arm.
Fugene Kurba. rookie catcher,
from Chicago, has been signed,
and is expected here today. With
Pettus now nursing a split fin
ger. Korba will probably see ac
tion right away. He was recom
mended by Sparr who says he
has plenty of power at thr plate
and is also a capable receiver.
tiabe Turkey will continue to
hold down third base despite the
fart that he is ailing?probably
malaria. He has had several
chills while playing and had to
Iravr thr game Sunday.
Tonight ends the 20-da.v per
iod for carrying extra players.
Skipper only has to rut off one
man and with thr arrival of
Korba. he will release Gainer.
Al Slakis, still nut with a sprain
rd ankle, will be placed on the
| suspended list.

Pete Kunis was complete master
of the situation here last Saturday
night when he allowed only five
hits, struck out eight batters, and
issued no walks, and started an up
rising in the third inning to defeat
Tarbom 6 2. It was Kunis all the
way.
In the third frame, tin- Martins
chalked up four runs off the offer
ings of Levi Woods, who also hurl
ed a fine game Bert Stotler singled
and went to second on'Pettus' sacri
fice. Kunis then hit for the circuit.
Byrum walked, Shelton singled, Tay
lor walked and then Babe Tuckey
hit a two base blow which was good
for two more runs.
Williamston scored again in the
fourth on Sparr's single a walk and
Byruin's single. Skipper Prank Rodg
ers homered in the fifth with no
body on base.
Both of the Tarboro runs came as
a result of errors, therefore being
unearned.
Bill Shelton and Babe Turkey led
the Martin attack with two hits
upiece, while Sudol was the only
Oriole to connect safely twice.
