Nos. 10 and 20 Between
Richmond and Raleigh
To Be Discontinued

Northbound and southbound local
passenger trains Nos. 10 and 20, OPP

road between Richmond and Raleigh,

was learned from railroad sources to-
day.
The southbound train, no. 80 passes
here at approximately II a. M, and
returning northward passes Hender-
son about $50 D. m.
The Seaboard recently petitioned
the State Utilities Commission and
the Virginia commission for permits
sion to drop the two trains on the
ground that patronage was so scant
the road was losing heavily in the
operation of the service.
Announcement of the date for dis
continuance of the two trains said
that local service performed by them
would be protected by Nos. and 4.
No. 3 passes here, southbound, at 3:21
p. M, and No. 4, northbound, shortly
before 2 p. m. Their schedules will
not be changed as result of the dis
continuance Of the other two trains.
Nos. 10 and 20 have been in opera
ton between Richmond and Raleigh
several years. A Diesel engine car has
furnished the motive power, except
when steam locomotives had TO be
substituted while the motor was be-

Softball Players Should
Read This And Observe

Softball, a sport just two years old
in Henderson, has been going great
here, and has precipitated argu-
fight, with charges and counter
charges being flung by the various
managers.
Softball what it means and what it
should mean to those who play it, is
amply defined by Fred Haney, sports
editor of the Durham Herald, who in
his Sunday column, Sports Shots"
says:
"Softball is sport for hard-work-
ing business men and youngsters who
do not have the time or are unable
to afford other forms of summer re-
creation and should be treated merely
as pastime to be enjoyed during the
summer months. But there are
number of persons in Durham who
are taking the sport entirely too seri
ously and as result the sport that
has become so popular here during
the past three seasons, is bound to
suffer in the end. So seriously has the
sport been taken in some games that
spikes have been ridden high in ord
er to clear the way to an extra base.
In a number of instances players
have been beefed at numerically be-
cause they committed errors and the
same sort of verbal flashing has been
passed out to other players who
elected not to slide, fearing injury.
Such practices cannot be attributed
to all teams in Durham. In fact they

Horner street by thieves, who gained
entrance by forcing the front door,
city police officers disclosed today.
Much of the loot, together with
truck of City Furniture Co., said to
have Laen stolen and used to trans
port the stolen goods, was found in
the vicinity TO the baseball park.
c. p. Dickson, owner of the store,
placed the value on missing merchan-
