Opening Games In County League Are Hard - Fought Battles -* "■ -<?■ ________^ ^ '—s No Team Able To Margin Over Five Teams Will Shill Fields For Next Tilts This Week - —• Jnme*\ille (lurries Oak Oily 1 I Innings Before Los ing by 8 to 7 Seore They play better ball in many a league of course but the open ing games in the Martin County Baseball League last Sunday indi cated that there is not to be too much taken for granted in the loop this season. No team was able to get a wider margin of victory than five runs and in half the contests the margin was two ] or less. Robersonville collected the only shutout of the day as Ben Scott held the Williamston Martins in check for a 5-0 decision but an other lefty, Bob Newell, of Wil liamston made it a tough one as he gave the Rams a tough day at the plate and held them to two runs, one unearned, up to the 8th i I)‘VIDS COMING v_J The Bearded Boys from the House of David Mill clash on the Williamston High School diamond tomorrow (Wednes day) night with the Martins of the Martin County League in a baseball game in which the visitors are expected to supply their usual amount of horseplay as well as some good baseball. Scheduled to start shortly after 8:00 o’clock it will be a regulation 9-inning game. inning. Washington was the other team getting a five-run margin in their victory over the Everetts Cubs at Everetts. Five runs in the fourth inning provided their margin of victory. Farm Life made Bear Grass' first league opening game at home j a tough one as they took a 4-2 de cision over the Bears but it was a fight all the way also. Your Vole and Support for E. G.

I NEW INSECTICIDE MIXING PLANT Pictured above is the outside of the Standard Fertilizer Company’s new $50,000.00 insecticide mixing plant on Roanoke River here. Just recently completed, the plant was placed in operation last week. It is turning out on a commercial scale all types of insec ticides. For pure determination James- I ville took the opening prize as they staved off Oak City for 11 innings before dropping an 8-7 de rision to the Roosters. As in all ball games, somebody J wins and somebody loses so half the teams are on top and half on the bottom and if they are able to reverse the score at their return meeting everybody will be tied for the middle of the standings. Because the House of David team plays in Williamston on Wednesday night of this week, the return game with Roberson ville in Williamston was moved up to tonight so these two teams will be the first to get in two games in league play this season. Tomorrow night (Wednesday) Everetts travels to Washington to meet the Bees again and in the af ternoon Oak City is scheduled to play at Jamesville unless farming pushes the game to another date. At last report it was still schedul ed for Wednesday afternoon at Jamesville Rush of farm work has caused the Farm Life-Bear Grass game to be moved from Wednesday af ternoon to Saturday night in the Williamston park. Attendance at the opening games was reported to have rang ed from fail to good. FARM FIFE 4, BEAR GRASS 2 Although Bear Grass got the first run across in the1 third inning of their league opening game with Farm Life at Bear Grass Sunday afternoon, Farm Life came back to take the lead with two runs in the fifth frame and pushed over the winning tally in the 7th.
