Tonight
?
Williamston gained revenge here
last night when the Martins defeated
Kinston 12-2 in a wild and wooly
exhibition, marred by eleven errors
and a mixture of "lousy" umpir
ing.
The Martins increased their hold
on fourth place last night by a
whole game, their average now only
a victory short of .500. The locals
are resting two and a half games be
hind Doc Smith's third place Bears,
while Rocky Mount and Goldsboro
are knotted for fifth place, two
games behind. With only seventeen
more playing days remaining in the
current season, the race for fourth
place is "red hot" with the final out
come still a matter of speculation.
Knocking out fifteen safeties off
Nicoli, the locals got at least one bin
gle in every inning except the first.
Five runs were scored in the sec
ond on three hits, two walks and
two errors. Two more were added in
the fcurth resulting from two sin
gles and three errors.
Four singles in the fifth account
ed for another pair of Martin tallies,
while three errors, a single, and Babe
Tuckey's double gave the Martins
their final three runs in the sixth.
> Pea Green limited the Eagles to
five safeties, dividing them in as
many nnings. Going the route. Pea

Goldsboro edged out a 5-4 decision
oveb the Williamston Martins last
Friday night in Goldsboro in a 14
inning battle Sandy Peele's squeeze
bunt in the 14th did the trick.

end of the third inning but the Bugs
tied the count with two runs in both
the fourtli and sixth frames.
Harry Humphries started on the
mound for the Martins, but was re
lieved by Ken Rymer in the fourth
inning after giving up three hits.
Ken allowed only seven bingles dur
ing the remaining 11 innings of well
pitched ball, but was credited with
the loss. '

Public Opinion
itv
The WiUiamston Martins as a
team were hitting .271 as of Tues
day. August 12. to place fourth in
the Coastal Plain in that depart
ment 4^,WiJsqn leads with an av
erage of .205
Through Monday. August 11th,
Charlie "Donald Duck" Wilcox, since
departed for his post in Alabama,
was the local slugging star with a
mark of .316 . . . Bill Shelton, now
in Uncle Sam's Army, was hitting at
.315 . . . Chesty Sparr leads the pres
ent pack of Martins, right at 300,
having knocked in 73 runs . . . Fred
Hoyle is batting .288, while Slim
Gardner rests at .281 . . . Skipper
Frank Rodgers is beating the ball at
a .272 clip to drive in 68 runs ...
Johnny Byrum. now in the Army,
had a mark of .264 . . . Elmer Cone.
.247. but he has knocked in 42 runs
-r .'. Babe?Tuckey,?.230 . . . Harry
Humphries, .211 . . . Clyde Pettus.
.161 . . . Several of the newly-sign
ed Martins have not participated in
a sufficient number of games to
rate official mention . . .
Pete Kunis, possibly the best
righthand pitcher in the circuit,
holds the high hand oil the Wil
liamston mound staff . . Pete has
pitched in 24 games through last
Monday?won 14 and lost five . .
lie has gone 200 innings and al
lowed only 30 bases on balls,
striking out 120 batters . . . Slim
Gardner, with nine wins and the
same number of defeats; Pea
Green, with eight and eight, and
Ken Kymer, with six wins and
six losses, are all pitching .500
ball . . . Humphries has won five
and lost ten . . . Dick Cherry has
pitched one victory while losing
two . . .
Unfinished Business?Lost in the
rush at the end of the 1941 softball
season was the "outstanding and
sensational" fact that Ernest "Ma
tuzu" Meats hit safely at least once
in every contest he participated in
during the past season . . . Taint bad
hitting, atall, Matuza . . . The girls'
tennis tournament, started the early
part of this summer is still in "prog
ress", according to reports . De
spite the fact that the fairest sex have
bubbled with speed in playing the
tourney, it now looks as though a
continuation until next summer is
in order . . . From what I ean gather
from the feminine tennis enthusiast
at The Enterprise "Doodle" Breen
i^*the best player and will no doubt
"eventually" win the championship
. Nope, no arguing ...
FOOTBALL!?Despite the fact
that the weather is still on the
hot side, the 1941 football sea
son will roll around in less than
a month, with a number of out
standing games scheduled to he
played in this State this fall. Ac
cording to information from the
Football Year Book. Duke Uni
versity is slated to go through
the season undefeated, which is
quite a rash prediction at this
time. However, Duke has the
power, speed, weight and mater
ial. and Coach Wallace Wade
is expected to end the campaign
among the "Big Ten."
Saying. "Oh. well, it didn't affect
I the outcome of the game," several
i have already forgotten Roy Greene's
'decision last night on an "infield
fly" . . . But. although it didn't af
fect the outcome. Greene's decision
robbed Elmer Cone of another hit
according to the scorer's opinion. . . .
Rule 44. Sec. 8 says: "If. before two
are out, while first and second, or
first, second ami third bases are Oc
cupied. the batsman hit a fair fly
ball, other than a line drive, that can
reasonably be caught by an infield
or--In such case the umpire shall de
clare it an infield fly " . Greene is I
supposed to know the rules of base
ball bettor?or at least as good -as
any umpire in the circuit But |
how he can figure that Al Slakis
could "reasonably" catch Cone's fly,
when he was hardly able to get to the
ball running at top speed with his
back to the plate, beats mr. . .
Don't forget the twin bill with
Wilson here tonight . . . The first
game will be a seven inning twi
light affair, starting at seven
o'clock . . . The second game will
1 be a regulation game under the
lights . . . Ken Rymer w ill pitch
one. with probably Slim Card
ner or llarry Humphries start
ing the other . . These w ill he
the last games you can see un
til Sunday, as Friday's game
scheduled here with Tarboro w ill
he played in the Fdgeeombe
capital . . Remember, we switch
ed with the Orioles some time
ago .
Fans had their first opportunity
to see Neal St.rocchio pronounced
Ktiok e o in actum last night be
hind the plate The veteran turn
i ed in. quite a performance and de
serves a hand With Charlie. Ft r
jrell to aid him. the local receiving
'department is now in fine shape
