give the locals the edge.
It was a thrilling exhibition with
Kinston staging a brave comeback
in the eighth inning, scoring twice
on three singles and a double.
Wjlilamston opened up with a run
in the first inning on Bill Shelton's
single and Chuck Taylor's double.
Two more scores were added in the
second when Skipper Rodgers hit

Bill Shelton pulled a muscle

a sensational catch of Ridings' drive

Leading Twirlers
In Softball Loop
According to the pitching averages
in the City Softball Circuit, the four
teams seem more evenly balanced
than in the past, with the exception
of the Methoterians. Last season sev
eral hurlers won three or four games
before they were defeated, but to
date only three arc in the 1 000 per
centage class. Sullivan. S Wynne and
Stalls each having one win against
no defeats.
Appearing on the mound the great
est number of times, Freddie-Sum
merlin, Baptist mainstay, has four
victories and a lone defeat chalked
up against him, while Jack Manning;
of the Christians, is next with three
wins and one loss.
Ernest Mears is low man in the
loop with a record of no victories
and four defeats.

With final arrangements complete
for the baseball game between Wil
liamston and Tarboro which will be
played in Eden ton on Wednesday af
ternoon. June 25th, as a courtesy and
at the request of a number of Eden
ton fans, this exhibition promises to
bring together one of the biggest
crowds of baseball lovers this sec
tion has ever seen, if pre-game in
terest has anything to do with it. The
game will begin promptly at four
o'clock.
In transferring the contest_ which
was scheduled .to be held here, Pres
ident Pete Fowden and other mem
bers of the Martins' club, felt that
this would not only enable the fans
of that section to see their home
town boys in action, hut it would al
so build up a good-will among the
towns of eastern North Carolina,
showing that the people on this side
of the river were very greatly inter
ested in the people over there.
Playing third base for the*. Martins
?and doing a wonderful job ?is
Johnny Byrum. an Edenton boy who
has become very popular with the
baseball fans of this section A for
mer teammate of Johnny's during
their high school days, "Little Bud"
Cayton. will be playing second base
for the Tarboro Orioles. Since fin
ishing their high school careers, the
youths made up-their minds to go
up in the professional baseball
world, and, as anyone can readily
see. both Byrum and Cayton hold
good prospects of continuing into
a higher calibre ball. Both are fine
hustlers and are learning the tricks
fast, eager to make good.
Manager I*oke Whalen and five
other members of the present Tar
boro team, trained in Edenton two
years ago when members of the* Po
comoke City team, and all are well
remembered over there, having
made a number of lasting friendships
which they will renew tomorrow.
The fans of Edenton realize and
appreciate the gesture of the people
of Williamston, knowing'that local
fans did not have to make the change.
And in order to make the event suc
cessful, the crack Edenton High
School band will parade down the
main strejrfTTrthe ball park, playing
several /lumbers Jbefore game time.
After the ball game, the two
clubs will dine at the Hotel Joseph
Howes.
?Largo numbers of Willinmstnn f^ny
are expected to journey to Edenton
for the afternoon and enjoy, along
with the Ed rn ton inns, an afternoon
Skipper Frank Rodgers has an
nounced that either Pete Kunis or
Pea Green will probably be on the
mound for the locals tomorrow af
ternoon for the special occasion. "I
feel like the people over there are
entitled to the best, and we will
make every effort to give it to
them," said the Skipper in making
his decision.

Public Opinion .
Bv "Buff'
The injury jinx is now riding
with the Martins?as if Skipper
Rodger* didn't have enough to
worry about. It seems that Bert
Stotler has been ailing for some
time now and had to be replaced
last night in Greenville. So, the
Skipper came in from center
field to second base, shifted Babe
Tuckey to shortstop. Chuck Tay
lor to centerfield and put Pitch
tr Pete Kunis in leftfidd. That
takes a lot of figuring, but the
Martins were doing pretty good
until Bennie Crowe "lifted" one
in the eighth with the bases load
ed.
When Bill Shelton went out of ac
tion with a pulled muscle, Skipper
Frank Rodgers took over second
base for The remainder of the game
with Kinston last Saturday night,
and almost lost his centerfield job
as thKrestxTt Pitcher Ken Rymer
came up with one of the flashiest
catches of the season in the ninth
inning, which looked good for at
least three bases. If he had missed
it, the final score may have been
different.
With the stores closing tomor
row afternoon, everybody who
possibly can should make a spec
ial effort to go to Edenton for
the baseball game between Wil
liamston and Tarboro. We should
show those Edentonians that we
"Follow the Martins" in big
numbers. This transfer was a
great move, and we should
show our friends across the riv
er how proud we are of the Mar
tins with a record crowd. The
Kdcnton band will parade about
three, the ball game beginning
at four.
Babe Tuckcy. out with a broken
nose for several weeks, returned to
action lajst Sunday?this time at sec
ond base in place of the injured Shel
ton. Babe started off the training
period here at the keystone sack
but was shifted to third when Slakis
was hurt Tuckcy has not gained back
his strength yet and he had a little
trouble out there Sunday afternoon,
hut he shook it off.
The Martin pitching staff has
been going like a house afire?
and well it is too, for, with Specs
Humphries sick and the locals
making a determined effort to
stay up in the top bracket of the
Coastal Plain, it could have been
a serious catastrophe. But all the
hurlers are taking up slack and
working without their necessary
and much-needed rest. And that
is the biggest factor in our drive
from seventh to fourth position
in about a week.

Baptists vs. Episcopalians.
Christians vs. Methoterians.
Playing'in a misty rain, the Christ
ians rallied to defeat the Episcopal
ians here last night 7-6 The battle
between the Baptists and Methoter
ians was called in the first half of
the third inning with both teams tied
up at 4-4.
The Episcopalians looked like a
sure winner after scoring five runs
in the initial inning and another in
the second, but the Christians came
back strong counting one in the
fourth, twice in the sixth and four
times in the seventh. The Episco
palian runs in the first came on sin
gles by Jack Baker Saunders, Pap
Diem and Jim Rhodes, combined
with two walks and an error. Their
other tally resulted when M. Malone
singled and went the rest of the way
on an infield out and two errors.
Bill Spivey's Christians were slow
starting, as they were not able to
solve Taylor Malone's offerings to*
any great extent until the fourth,
when singles by Fenner Wallace and
Parson Goff and an error gave them
a run. Two more were added in the
.sixth on a double by Wallace, singles
by Tom Barnhill and Charles Man
ning, and an error.
The fireworks broke loose in the
seventh when three straight singles
by Jack Manning, Jack Sullivan and
C. T. Roberson filled the bases. Ver
non Bunting then dumped a single
in front of Tom Skinner, who clung
ed in allowing the ball to get by him.
By the time* he had run down the
soft pellet, the bases were unloaded
and the game was over with the
Christians the victors.?
Jack Manning hurled nine-hit ball
for the Christians, three of which
came in the first inning.
?Fenner- Wallace was the leading
hitter for the winners, with a dou
ble and single for?two attempts^
while Jack- Manning was next with
two for three. Haywood Wynne had
a "perfect night two for two for the
losers.
The Methoterian-Baptist qontest
was started, but rain began to fall
so fast that the game,was called in
the third inning. The Methos had
scored four runs in the second but
Harcum GrimCs' clouting Baptists
had tied the count before the dcci
in the way last Friday night causing
him to lose the ball hit to centerfield
with three men on base ... By the
time the over-sized baseball had stop
ped rolling and Bill retcjfcved it, all
four runners had crossed the plate
and the Christians lost the game^_
The same thing happened last night
in ihe game between the Christians
and Episcqmjlians, only Tom Skin
ner, EpicopSV manager, played the
"leading role" ... Parson Goff is the
roughest man in the league . . . When
he runs the bases, everybody had
better watch out . . . He handed Pap
Diem one of the prettiest football
clips last night I've seen, throwing
Pappy on his ear . . Episcopalians
led the loop in double plays . . . With
the Diem starting most of them .
Sonny Wynne can come up with im
possible catches in that Episcopal
shortfield . . . When you figure how
to do away with so many errors and
the lousy umpiring^ softball in this
town will receive more interest . .
But I guess this is a short season on
umpires . For take a peek at the
Coastal Plain .
Al Slaki.s, well remembered
and liked around here, has
caught on with the Kinston club.
Al was injured sliding into third
base, and his ankle has been aw
fully slow healing, but in his
first game this season against us
Saturday night, he a*m^tl ma tie
certain people sorry they let him
(o. Of course, that la neither here
nor yonder, for I have a mlfhty
fine average as a second-gursat r.
but I'm sure everyone wishea Al

unusually interesting and offered
quite a bit of unusual play.

feated the Christian. 9-6. but only af
ter the Christian manager. Bill Spiv
ey. playing centerfield. allowed a
batted ball to go through his legs
with tin Ini.m i loaded.? turning in
four Baptists runs on that one play.
The Christians were leading 5-4
when this uprising occurred in the
seventh inning

mound for the Baptists, hut was re
lieved by Fred Summerltn in the
sixth after an error unjl three suc
cessive singles scored t^'o runs. Sum
merlin finished and'received credit
for the victory. C. T Roberson hurl
ed for the Christians.
The Christians outhit the Baptists.
