HARRY HOOPER TO
QUIT BASEBALL


 Harry Hooper, Red Sox star, has an- nounced that he is through With base ball and that when the great American sport is resumed after the war he will not return to the east. As Hooper al ways has been one of the most ear nest hard working stars of. the past decade of players one must take liar rvs word that he really intends to quit the professional diamond.
 Hooper says he has been ten. years in Boston, which he figured is Ions enough for any player to remain in the game. He says he has been treat ed well and he has deserved his treat ment. Hooper is one player who proved that figures very often lie. Hooper's American League averages never were very impressive. and only once did he hit over 300, yet no out fielder of. the last ten years can be placed ahead of him for all around worth other than Ty Cobb and Iris | Speaker.
 Hooper quits the game with one rec ord which is likely to stand fer long time to come He is the only player the game has produced who has play ed in four worlds series without beins On a loser. It is true that Jack Barry has been on five winners, while Eddie Collins, Jack McInnis and Amos StrInk also have been. on four winners. but all. of these players were members of the defeated Athletic team of 1914, the only American League team to lose a worlds series during the asst nine years.
 The Athletics ran into their worlds series reverse after winning three straight victories, so Hooper Is tlte oEly player who has been on four straight worlds champions. HeiEie | Wagner also was a member of t2.e four teams in which Hooper played in worlds series, but on only one was he an active player. In three others he appeared only as a coach. and in oply | two did he get a full share of the re- | ceipts.
 Fred Merkle. as is generally known, | is the glutton for worlds series pun 1 ishment, having played on five losers, with Chief Meyers giving him close rub as a player on four losers, without ] ever getting on winner.
 The following figures show how al. | players who have been eligible to play ir four or more series have Jared:

MARKET REPORT
D. L. JOYNER & co. TOBACCO

Sales opened on our market the 9th
inst. with around one hundred thou-
sand pounds on all the floors and the
total sales averaged nearly % cents.
This was the highest average ever be-
fore made on a market in North Car
DINA at an opening sale. The quality
OF the offerings were very inferior,
showing mostly green, dirty primings
with only small sprinkle of good
tobacco, all of which was eagerly tax
en-, however, in spirited bidding.
There are more buyers on the Lun1-
berton market than ever before. all
the large companies being represent
ed besides number of independent
dealers, and our tobacco farmers need
have no fear about getting the top
market prices.
1t is our intention to do our part
to make Lunlberton the biggest and
best market in this part of the to
bacco belt. We have just had built
one of the largest and most thoroughly
equipped brick warehouses in the
State, and if the tobacco farmers will
pay US visit they will be convinced
that The Big Banner is the place to

nave sealed our faith in the LUMBER
ton tobacco market and Robeson
county by investing several thousand
dollars in farm lands which we have
been very busily engaged this year in
improving and on account of which
our Mr.. C. A. D. Fakes has not had
the time and opportunity of calling
on the tobacco farmers in the inter-
est of our warehouse.
AS farmers yourselves you will
fully appreciate this. We will say,
however, that from now on our time
will be devoted to looking after the
interest of our customers 50 when YOU
are ready to sell, load up and drive to
The Big Banner, where a cordial and
hearty welcome awaits you and where
everything possible will be done to
advance and protect your interest IN
the sale of your tobacco.

AN APPEAL TO TOBAC-
co FARMERS
Come to Town With Your Tobac
co.

At called meeting of the Tobac-
co board Of trade on the evening of
July 9Th it was agreed that it would
be to the best interest of the farmer,
and market as we'll, for the hour of
sale to begin at ten o'clock a: M, and
it is requested Of you that you get to
market early as you can.
Every one knows there is a short
age Of labor at present and if we be-
gin selling late in the day and con-
tinue to have second or after sales.
the buyers will have no time for
packing their tobacco, and we could
not get our floors ready for next
days sale.
We want to work together
in harmony and to the best interest
Of ali concerned.
1t will work no hardship on the
farmer to get off to town with his
tobacco a little earlier in the day.
You can get your check, attend TO
your business and get back home in
time to do some work, if you desire.
There will be only one sale per day
at each house and it is hoped that
you will cooperate with US in get
ting ready to sell by the hour set.
Yours truly,
The Lunberton Tobacco Board of
Trade.
