Suffering their third defeat of
the star it a! Hertford 1:1-(). last
Friday afternoon, the Williamston
| High School Green Wave is in
vading Plymouth this afternoon
for their final conference game
with the hopes that they can wincj
up with a 7-3 record for the year.'
Two of the defeats were dished
| out by Billy Winslow and his In
dian mates, the other coming in
the season opener at ARoskie. It
was the Green Wave that racked
up the first score against Hertford
this year when they lost a 7-1 de
cision here and it was a fairly
close ball game for four innings in
Hertford lust Friday.
But >n the fifth Bright, Indian
! centerfielder hit one uf Raymond
Davis slants for trie circuit to lead
a four-run rally. The Indians had
■'gone down in order in the first
, and second, scored twice in the
third on two errors, a single and
double. Hertford got two in the
7th and five in the fitli hut the
decision was 'iheadv o»i ice bv
i that tirpe.
Billy Winslow recorded 15
strikeouts against the Green Wave
ns he held them in check. Even
at that he had some luck with him
to get out of a tight spot in the
Gth inning when he allowed two
hits and walked a man and still j
! was not scored upon. Winslow re
tired the side in order on strike-1
outs in the second inning and in
only one inning, the 5th, did ho
fail to whiff at least one man.
Williamston got four hits, Ray
mond Davis accounting for two
of them while Ooltrain and Bailey
i got one apiece.
Fussell started in left field for
‘the Green Wave hut was reliev
od by Everett in the 6th according
to the scorebook which played a
trick on Harrell the other day as
it indicated he went hitless when
he should have been credited with
a safety. Jack Welch also should
| have been listed as pitching the
! seventh inning against Columbia
| and striking out two.
Two exhibition games will fol
low the close of the conference
season today. Edenton high will
: play here Thursday night of next
i week after the local team plays
' in Edenton on Tuesday.

Marlins To Play
Conway Al 8:15
In LocaI_ Park
I Indications Point To a Well
Balanced Club Here for
The ('omiiifj Season
Although they have lost theii
two exhibition games to a strong
independent Edenton team by the
identical scores of fi-4. the Wil
liamston Martins, local entry in
the Martin * County Baseball
League are reported to be round
ing Into shape rapid!' and it is
expected that a well balanced ball
idub will take the field for the
opening game next Sunday in the
RobersonviUe park.
The Martins play the Con
tvay team here tonight at 8:15
in their third exhibition con
test.
As in all of his exhibition con
tests. Manager J. P lledspeth last
Sunday afternoon used three pit
chers against the visiting team.
Big Ed Rowland opened the game
on the mound for Williamston and
the Martins were ahead 4-2 when
hi^ went out about mid-way the
game. Jim Jones next took the
hill for the locals hut ran into
trouble, After one man had got
ten aboard the big first baseman
of Edenton slammed one of Jones’
offerings out of the park, the ball
sailing over the Maolu sign fog
what was perhaps the longest ball
hit here for some time. The two
runs tied the count and later on
j Jones became the losing pitcher
when he loaded the sacks and
reliefer Billy Peele was touched
foi a hit that scored two runs.
Since he still is trying to give as
i many candidates as possible an
opportunity to get in some com
petitive practice, Manager ilcds
peth will likely use several hurl
ers tonight although the fact that
I he is playing the bovs from his
I old home town may make him do
all possible to put his best talent
i to good use.
Reports indicate that attend
ance at tin exhibition games has
I been encouraging.
