AUTO TAX DODGERS
FACE HARD DRIVE.
SWEEPING ENFORCEMENT OF
MOTOR VEHICLE TAX LAW
BY STATE DEPART
MENTS,

Automobile tax slackers in and
around Ely are facing prosecutions
and penalties under statewide
drive begun this week by state de-
partments with the cooperation of
local officials.
Sheriff Magic and County Attor-
ney Forbes received an outline of
the campaign plan and instructions
on procedure from the office Of At
torney General Clifford L. Hilton.
The sheriff has no alternative than
to enforce the tax law, the letter
states, failure meaning that he is
personally responsible for tn e
amount of the tax. The county at
torney is advised that failure to
prosecute violators is ground for
removal from office.
In justice to the thousands who
have paid toward the good roads
program by promptly renting their
motor vehicle taxes, Charles M.
Babcock, state highway commission
er pledged the cooperation of the
field forces of the highway depart
ment over the whole state at the
attorney generals suggestion. High
way employees are to report viola
ton to Mike Holm, secretary of
state, who will forward them to
county officials for immediate action
and maintain a system of follow-up
to insure proper disposition of every
case.
Secretary Holm announced this
week that all regular applications
have been filled and there is no
longer reason for time extensions.
License applied for" tags ere to
be regarded as prima facie evidence
of violation of the law, the state
officials said. All cars without 1928
licenses now are held subjecF to
the maximum $3.50 penalty. Spe-
cial attention is to be paid to the
enforcement of the law relating tc
cars from other states, partly tC
prevent the use of foreign tags or
Minnesota cars.
Violation of the motor vehicle
tax law is punishable as mis-
demeanora and courts are to be
urged to impose more severe penal
ties this year than last.

Afternoon at Linden.

Steve Anthony's Fords Field Club
nine will return to Linden on SUM-
day afternoon and endeavor to hand
the representative team of that place
a severe lacing, so as to make up fof
an earlier setback received at the
hands of Manager Woodward's col

Last Sunday afternoon the Linden
team was beaten by the Dixie Col

winning streak broken. In the four

on account Of rain, would have regis
tered a victory.
The lineup of the Fords team will
be considerably strengthened for
Sundays encounter and Manager An
thony is confident that his charges
will return with the bacon. Ten

the Union county balltossers.
In a week or two, the third game

BURNETT HEADS
NEW COMBINE
Plainfield Outfit to Play in
Queen City Starting To-
morrow Night.
An announcement

An announcement in a recent
edition of the Plainfield Courier
News is to the effect that a Plain
field baseball team organized by
Pete Burnett, well known field man
ager of the Perth Amboys, will play
its first game at Recreation field,
Plainield tomorrow night. The
Bronx Giants will cross pats with
the Plainfield in this contest.
For the opening game, Manager
Burnett will use Martin of High
Bridge, or Daugherty of the local
team in the box and Lidgate behind
the plate. O'Keefe of Plainfield will
play first base, Burnett will be at his
favorite post, Rudy of the locals at
Walla of Plainfield at third. Cook,
OF High Bridge and Eddie Einhorn
and Dixon of Plainfield, will patrol
he outer gardens.
The Recreations of Plainfield. the
combination Burnett formerly played
With, is not playing twilight base
ball this summer, and Manager Bur-
nett therefore feels that the under
taking should be a success financial
ly. The second sacker Is quite pop
ular in the Queen City.
Organization of the combination
by Burnett will mean that a number
of players on the Amboy roster, will
be given at least three contests a
week, fiugring that there will be one
twilight go on the local field each
week. The Mcconnell Giants MAJ
oppose the Plainields in the latter's
second start.

JACK BENTLEY GOING GOOD
AFTER POOR GIANT DEBUT

NEW YORK, Aug. 2-Jack Bent
ley, who cost the New York Giants
$4,000, and who was hailed in the
spring as an exploded phenom, q
high-priced lemon, is living down
the odium of a bad start.
Because of salary differences
Bentley was late in reporting to the
Giants. He was many pounds over
weight when he joined McGraw's
club and needed more than the few
weeks given him to get into shape.
AS a result of poor condition
Bentley's first three Or four starts
in the National League were sad af-
fairs. 1t really seemed as IL Nc
Graw had been bunked Critics were
ready to place Bentley in the also
ran class.
Just when a majority of the ex-
perts were weakening on him, Bent
ley began to show the form that
made him the town nero in Balti-
more. His pitching record shows
that in the first IA games worked
he turned in nine victories.
Bentley has not confined his &C
tivities to pitching, he has been a
whale at the bat. Used as a pinch
hitter when not pitching he is slug
ging the ball well over the 400
mark.
