To game to Woodbury., n. j., High.
The visitors were an hour late IN arriving
and il WAS almost ) clock when the game
got started.
Wilmington had not played for almost
two weeks and the long layoff and long
wait was too much for them. BY the
time Woodbury. did arrive the Hlghlets
had had enough of baseball and were
ready to go home. showing 10 complete
disadvantage all through the game which
was cut to seven innings by mutual
agreement. The Highets were also
greatly crippled by the absence of Eddie
Manlove. who has been declared ineligible
and Captain Carter who although suffer
ing with a badly injured foot got IN the
last inning,
Although Woodbury. scored both OF It's
runs through misplays atield by the
Highlets, the Cherry and White defenders
showed their greatest lack of fight and pep
at the bat, proving easy victims OF \.
Pierson' S mediocre pitching. The visiting
hurler sent twelve at the Highlets back
by the stnke-Out route while only two off
his delivery were sent to the outtield, a
triple by Underwood and a double by
Anderson. Lannan twirled in good form
and pitched himself out of several holes.
With the right kind of support he would
have let Woodbury. down without either
hit or run, only one hit which should have
been a put-out being credited against

JACKSON NEVER
HIT BELOW 800
Harlan's Star Outfielder IN
Eight Years Had Average
of $50.

When Joe Jackson left the White Sox
to become a shipbuilder at the Harlan
plant. he got into new atmosphere, but
left a good record behind him. AS a
ball player with a punch at the bat he
was always n hearcat in the jor leagues.
Tyrus Cobb hit only 240 in forty
games with Detroit his first year. That
was IN 1905. Since that time Cobb has
never been below the 300 mark in eleven
years of healthy clubbing at the craftiest
pitching in the big leagues
Yet with all of Cohb's great record, this
jackson person doomed up as "A worthy
rival for the great Georgian, for jackson
started at 300 clip when he broke IN ms

though he played but twenty games that
season, having been called back from Ne"
Orleans by Philadelphia and traded TO
Cleveland for Briscoe Lord, he hammered

Country Club.

Playing by far the best golf of her
career. Mrs. Edwin H. Ware, OF the
Whitemarsh Valley Country Club. won
the Ida +. Dixon cup at the VIII
mington Country Club yesterday with
net score of ST. This was "A very re-
markable performance considering that
Mrs Ware has been playing COLL only
three years and was competing against
players of far greater experience

victory was that she succeeded III break

now so enormous as to leave little
available surplus in some cases. which
could be drawn upon for subscrip-
tons to the third loan.
Therefore, Secretary McAdoo has
apparently adopted reasonable and
financially sound expedient of sum-
moning into cooperation all of the
American banks, at least all of the
national banks, and as many of the
state chartered institutions as DOS

OF two weeks. funds may be secured

able for payment on account of the

Ultimately the great bulk of the
third liberty laon will undoubtedly
pass into the possession of the Ameri-
can people. The situation as it pre.
SCENTS itself to Secretary McAdoo now
has suggested a thought voiced by
many of the bankers, which is that in
order to float successfully the next
loan and others which will succeed

De secured which may be loaned to
the Government.
One item of which Secretary Nc
Adoo is believed to have taken due
heed is the new wealth which the
country has secured through the
crops and meat products of 1917.
The official estimate of the money
value of these agricultural products
fixes the amount at approximately
$40, 900, 100000, and this is all new
wealth. 1t will serve greatly to aid
the Government in floating the next
issue of liberty bonds and such
further issue as in the present
calendar year Secretary McAdoo may
find it necessary to offer.

at the close of the Civil War. In a
little over year the Government will
have borrowed from the people at
least 000,000,000.
In early September of 1914 we had
the first illustration of the readiness
and capacity of the American banks
to cooperate on great scale. They
united, in preparation to their re-
sources, so that they were able to
furnish a hundred millions in gold
within few days. This cooperation
was the first of the many great
achievements in financing since 1914.
1t has been a remark commonly
made by some of those who have
studied our financial needs and who
have looked into various propositions
which have been made with intent to
reach the best methods of securing
the billions which the Government
needs, that Secretary McAdoo must
depend, at first at least, in great
measure upon the banks Of the United
States for success in floating his loan.
The American banks will serve as the
right hand of the Secretary.
They will, in addition to the work
done by voluntary organizations,
gradually but surely pass from their
own control into the hands of the
public the third liberty bonds 1t is
almost inconceivable that, within the
time fixed by Secretary McAdoo for
the floating of the third loan, pre-
sumably to be $6,000,000,000, this
should be absorbed by the American
people as easily and as speedily as the
second liberty loan was absorbed.
Therefore the banks must help.
There is grave doubt about the
ability of the great industrial cor
porations to subscribe to the third
loan as heavily as they did to. the
second and to the first. There are
rumors that some of these corpora
tons will find it impossible to make
any subscriptions. Their expenses
have increased and their taxes are

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE IT BETTER

For a good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
series of experiments having as their
object the improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it is interesting to know that one
of the greatest Of their discoveries was one
of the simplest and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way, just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took a real Burley tobacco, grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened it to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toasting;
made it into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette,
and offered them to the public.
Theresult has been the greatestdemand
ever created for any tobacco product in a
similar length of time.
The change produced bytoasting is not
only most wholesome, but the favor is
greatly improved, just cooking improves
meat for example.

in New York is to aggregate about
