Martins Still Have Chance To Enter Loop Semi - Finals Chance Is Admittedly A Mathematical One If Martins Win All And Leafs and Bugs Lose, They Are Set > Hard Blow la Frit in Loss Last Evening at the Hands of Tarboro'a Orioles ? Despite a heavy blow felt at the hands of the Tarboro Orioles here last night, the Martins are still en tertaining hopes for a place in the Coastal Plain Loop semi-finals ? and maybe the finals. But facing the facts at hand?which show the pos sibilities according to arithmetic ? the Martins have to win the last three tilts, and Goldsboro and the Rocky Mount Leafs have to lose two or three to give the locals a peep in at the money. The situation is nar rowed down to a mathematical chance all right, but as long as there is hope the Martins are expected to continue their up-hill fight Goldsboro is playing Wilson to night and again Thursday night, but there's a game with Tarboro tomor row night. Rocky Mount meets Greenville tonight and again Thurs day and during the meantime the Leafs and Martins battle tomorrow evening in Rocky Mount. The Mar tins are hitched with Kinston to night and Thursday night. So, despite the fact that Skipper Frank Rodgers' lads missed out on a golden opportunity last night, they still have an outside chance and if the Greenies and Tobs will bear down, and the Eagles "let up" there will be some method of inserting the local team into that fourth slot.

New Bern Defeats Williamston With Four Runs in Sixth Judy Pride mid Fred Hoyle Lead Stiekwork With Two Hits Apiece o Scoring all their runs in the sixth inning, the New Bern Bears handed the Williamston Martins a 4 2 set back over there last Saturday eve ning. Pete Kunis went the route for the locals, and although he turned in a good performance, he was charged with the defeat due to one bad in ning. He allowed 13 hits, walked four and fanned six. The Martins scored singletons in the fourth and fifth innings but Man ager Doc Smith promptly replaced Taylor on the mound and ended all further scoring. Judy Pride and Fred Hoyle each hit safely twice during the evening to lead the Martins. The box: Saturday, August 30.

Ken Rymer lost a tough pitching duel to Marty Minogue here last evening when the Tarboro Orioles defeated the Martins 3-1. Rymer al lowed only nine hits, walked three and struck out four, while Minogue gave up five hits, issued free passes to seven and fanned three. The Martins lost a great opportun ity, to tighten up the Coastal race which is now in its last week of the current season with only three days left to play. Williamston. occupying sixth place, now rests a game and a half behind Rocky Mount, while the Goldsboro Bugs, in fourth spot, are leading the Martins by two games Tarboro's first run came in the fourth inning when two walks and DeCubellis' double filled the sacks, with Minogue singling to knock across a tally. A single, sacrifice and an error accounted for the Orioles' run in the sixth, while two singles a sacrifice and an outfield fly ac counted for their nihth-inmng tal ly Minogue held the Martins well in tow until the ninth when with one out. Skipper Rodgers singled, went to second when Babe Tuckey walk ed, scampered to third on a wild pitch and crossed the plate on Char lie Ferrell's infield out. Williamston came through 111 good shape in the third inning when Zak and Murray attempted a double steal. Perfect throws by Kerrell and Tuckey nabbed the runner attempt ing to slide in home No Williamston player hit safely more than once, although Babe Tuckey hatted 1 000, with a single and three walks.

Time of game 2:10 Public Opinion Bv "Bl'FP' PROFITABLE NIGHT?Fred llo.vie returned frtrni Wilson last Thursday night five bucks bet ter off. They were giving away defense bonds and stamps at the Martin -Tob game and our right fielder was lucky enough to have his number drawn for a $5.04) defense stamp. How's about a touch. Iloyle? President Ray (Joodmon has add ed another veteran umpire to his Coastal Plain staff in tin .person of Joe White. According to Mr. CJood mon White will finish the season, work in the championship play-offs and will probably be back next sea son. The new 1^ acquired "Blind Tom", who is not only likeable but knows his baseball, was umpire in chief in tho?piedmont League when Tom Hanna worked in that circuit. White has also done duty in the (Southern and American Association, Which happens to be only a short step below the majors/ so bis com ipetenee can hardly bo doubted by [anyone in a Class I) loop. Best rookie in the Coastal Plain this season?Dick "Roost cr" lloylc. Wilson's handyman. Rooster, a brother of our Fred, has played at every position in the Tob line-up and performed creditably at every spot. He is now hitting .35(1 to place third in the loop's batting race . . .
