S< lo diilr Show -
With the end of the playing sea
sun just two weeks off. Farm Life
was still holding to its place atop
the Martin County League stand
mgs. lialt . 'game ahead ol the
Robersonvillc Rams while Beat
Grass was in third and the Ever
etts Cubs held to fourth place.
Until the softball league com
pietes its pla\ there an few if
any open nights left at the Wil
liamston ball park, and some of
the teams which have made little
effort to re-schedule rained out or
postponed games may find they
arc laced with the necessity of
I forfeiting one or two contests.
Farm Life took two games dur
ing tin past week-end, both from
Washington, ti-1 and 2-1, to grab
a half game lead over the Rober
sonvillc Rams who remained in
the chase with a 10-5 victory over
Beai Grass Sunday afternoon. It
wa> a rough week-end for the
Bears as they lost to Washington
Friday night before losing to the
| Rams Sunday. However, they sal
vaged something out of the week
end's play with a 5-3 victory Sat
urday night over Williamston.
Williamston. in turn got an even
break for the week-end by taking
,m 8-3 decision over .Jamesville
i Sunday after their loss to Bear
; Grass Saturday night.
In the first forfeit reported here
I Oak City lost to Everetts Sunday
| II to 0 when only five Roosters
' showed up for play against the in
1 vading Cubs. It may be that there
has been one other forfeit but it
has not been reported here.
According to the decision of the
league at a recent meeting, the
regular playing season ends on
j the 16th of this month and con*
1 tests not played by that time may
be forfeited, it was said.
A complete schedule as it is at
present set up is printed in this
issue today for the information of
both fans and managers.
Quite a few of the teams have
at least five games to make up.
Some of them have arranged for a
replay of all their home games
which were missed but are hav
ing difficulty getting arrange
ments completed for games away
from home which are the respon
sibility of the other club.

Scotland Neck
Wins Here 18-1
In a game played recently be
tween the group at the high
school recreation grounds and a
similar team from Scotland Neck

liamston lads, 18 to 8.
Harris started for Williamston
but had to be relieved by Dallas
Wells when, Alin visitors scored 12
runs in the first inning. However,
reports on the game show that the
sco ing was due most to poor
fielding and handling of the ball.

By Wilbur Jackson
The Softball League Playoffs
will get underway Monday night
at eight o'clock in the high school
park with the pennant winning;
Methodists meeting the third
place Baptists in the first game
and the second place Christians1
meeting the fourth place Episco
terians in the night's finale. The!
Methodists won the pennant fairly
easy, running into a little trouble
at the end of the season. The
dark horse of the play-offs will be
the Episcoterians who gave every
body a fit in the last week of play.
Most of the teams are fairly even
ly matched when all their players
show up and a good brand of soft
ball will be seen in these play
offs. The league is operating
slightly in the red due to the lack
of attendance at the regular sea
son games. Why not come out
during these play-off games which
will be held every Monday and
Thursday nights to decide the
Champion, and support your
church team. The league needs
all the support it can get at this
time.
Methodists Take Pennant
Although the season ended just
last night the issue was decided
to all intents and purposes by the
play in the doubleheader last
Thursday night. The high-flying
Episcoterians who have won
three out of their last four games,
downed the second place Chris
tians in a very well played ball
game on a rather soggy field. The
score was seven to six.
The Christians got off to a very
good start as they hopped on
starter Ernest Mears for five runs
in the first inning. Mears wasj
very wild, walking three men. It.
his first appearance on the
mound since the first of the sea
son. The Christians added one in
the bottom of the third on hits by
Goff and Spivey, coupled with
two fielders’ choices.
The Episcoterians, behind six
to one, got the ball to rolling in
the top of the fourth inning and
scored four runs on Jack Ross’
long triple to close the gap to six
and five. They added two more in
(he fifth which proved to be en
ough. Mears, although very wild,
allowed the losers only four hits. 1
Roberson and Mears led the win
ners with two for. four apiece. !
Goff was best for the losers with I
two for four.
In the second game the Meth
odists poured it on the fast-falling
Baptists as they made thirteen
hits good for as many runs while
“Preacher’’ Shuller was limiting
the losers to two' hits and two
runs. The Methodists had two big
innings as they scored fi^ runs
in the fourth and added seven
more in the sixth as their team
batted around. Stalls led the win
ners at bat, getting two for two
and scoring two runs for a perfect
| ALL-STAR GAMK !

The Dr, Pepper Softball
team of the Washington, N.
C.. league will play the All
Star team from the Williams
ton Church Softball League a
ooubleheader Thursday night,
Aug. 3rd. The first game wiil

cond appearance here as they

inning jinx again Sunday after
noon when the Williamston Mar
gins used four runs in that frame
to salt away an 8 to 3 victory.

who started for Jamesville and
