The Martins advanced to the 1
finals last night by defeating Bear !
Grass in seven innings, 11 to 2, as
some of their top hitters returned
to last season form and Billy Peele
hurled a steady game. The Mar
tins have won both their appear
ances in the tournament without
difficulty.
The Rams, winners of the tour
nament last year, moved up to the ]
finals with a 10-inning, 6-4 decis- I
ion over Hamilton Tuesday night
and an 8-0 victory over the Ever
etts Cubs in the semi-finals last
night.
After both teams had scored two
runs in the first inning, the Mar
tins on successive doubles by C.
B. Whitehurst and Joe Davenport,
a single by George Wynne, a walk
to S. Perry and a sacrifice by H.
Wynne and the Bears on two er
rors. and two hits, the Martins put
the game away with three runs in
the 6th on four hits and a base on
balls. In the 7th the Martins bat
ted around us they scored six runs
on six hits and three errors to halt
play at the end of the inning be
cause of a ruling that play is to
stop if either team is leading by 7
or more runs.
Although the Rams took a one
run lead in the second inning and
added single runs in the third and
seventh, the Rams contest with
Everetts’ Cubs was still really a
close ball game until the eighth.
In that inning the Rams scored 5j
runs on doubles by G, Warren1
and Tom Brown, a single by Earl
Forbes and a home run by James
Hudson who had hit a triple in the
sixth frame. Three successive
walks also helped the scoring. In
this inning Darrell Taylor who
had just come in to relieve James
Stalls was put out of game for
protesting too vigorously to the
umpire and then William Cherry,
the catcher, quit in disgust. The
game was called at the end of the
eighth.
Opening play in the tournament
on Monday night, Willianiston had
little difficulty in defeating East
Side, 19 to 4 ana bear Grass easily
took the Ahoskie team, 13 to 2,
both games being called at the
I end of seven innings because of a
, ruling halting play at that, point if
one team has a lead of seven or
! more runs.
i Garland Wvnne started and.was

while fanning two.
C. B. Whitehurst and Bobby
Rogers starred at bat for Wil
liamston, Whitehurst having two
doubles and a single in four trips
up and Rogers three singles in
four tries.
Manning got two for three to
lead East Side.
Bear Grass wasted no time in
disposing of Ahoskie, the Hertford
County boys complaining that the
lights bothered them as they had
been playing in daylight only. In
the first inning Bear Grass pushed
across three runs and added a like
number in the second to take a
commanding lead.
Ahoskie got one run in the sec
ond inning and one in the seventh.
Tuesday night Oak City and
Everetts fought a see-saw battle
with the edge finally going to the
Cubs on a four-run rally in the
first half of the ninth. The Cubs'
took an early lead by scoring a]
run on one hit and four Rooster J
errors in the first inning Oak
City tied the count with a tally in '
the second on two hits and a field-'
er's choice and took the lead on I
two runs in the third. The Cubs '

inning the Roosters counted two
runs to make it 8-ail and went
ahead, 10-8 with two tallies in the
7th. However, Bill Williford held
them scoreless after that and the
Cubs used three hits, a balk, a
base on balls and an error to tally j
four runs in the first of the ninth
and take the ball game. |

Roosters but was relieved by Geo.
Clark in the 6th with none out.
