Big Crowd on Hand
With Mayor Irvine R. Watkins
hurling the first ball to President H.
E. Burgess of the Henderson Tobac
conists, the Virginia-Carolina league
was ushered in to treat to the base
ball fans here to a fast brand of
baseball; and the* Tobacconists con
tinued their fine start by whipping
the Oxford Dodgers 6 to 1 before a
large “booster day” crcwd.
Big First Inning
Both pitchers were stingy with their
hits, Henderson getting six to four for
the Dodgers, but the first inning
spelled defeat to the Oxford nine with
Roberson hitting three batsmen,
Hoyle’s single and Winbrow’s double.
Both *pitchers were in great shape,
Woodlief fanning seven while Robert
son was turning six back by the
strikeout route. The visitor's only
tally came in the first frame on Scog
gins' error and Dillahay’s single.

Drivers Try Hard
To Have Licenses
Restored to Them
Daily DlMpntcb Hut-ena,
In The* Sir Walter Jfote.,
Py J O. IIASKEKVILL
Raleigh, May 28. —Drivers who have
bad their driving permits revoked for
one year because of convictions for
drunken driving or following two con
victions for reckless driving, use
every known trick in an effort to get
their licenses restored or to obtain
entirely new licenses, Director Arthur
Fulk of the highway safety division,
of the Department of Revenue, said
today. But so far all of these tricks
have failed, due to the fact that the
highway safety division is taking no
chances and is “wise” to most of the
tricks which are tried.
The effort being made most fre
quently now by those who have had
their driving licenses revoked is to
make new applications in which they
change their names or initials slight
ly, Fulk said. Within the last day or
so a new application was received
which seemed to look all right. But
in all those whose licenses have ibeert
revoked or suspended. And when this
was checked, the name was almost
identical with that of a man whose
license had been revoked only a few
weeks before. An initial had been i,
serted, where none had been used T
fore, and the color of the hah J
given as “red” instead of "sandv ” i*
cordingly a highway patrolman'
sent to investigate and found that u
new application for a driver’* it th *
had been sent in by
whose permit had been revoked '
one year. He was immediately indie
ed for attempting to secure a n ' '
cense by fraudulent means and
those charges are new pend in, •?
gainst him. d ~
