U, S. IS FAVORED

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Aug. 20
The current epidemic Of interna
tional clashes between the United
States and Great Britain will be
renewed here today when the
Wightman Cup comes back into
circulation in a series Of matches
between the best lady tennis play
ers that can be currently found
in England and America.
The currently" is used adviSedly
because two perennial members Of
the cast will be among the miss

England's 1887 Wimbledon cham.
pion, who is going to be married
abroad, and our own Helen Wills
Moody, who is reversing Miss
Rounds program by being de-mar-
ried in Reno.
ENGLAND WEAKER TEAM
The absentee list will affect
England more than the United
states, inasmuch as Mrs. Moody
has been absent from interna-
tional competition for some time
and England's admittedly the
weaker team.
If precedent is to be considered,
Great Britain will take to the
courts with two strikes on her.
She hasn't won the cup since 1880.
In fact, she has won it only four
times since the international RI
valry began in 1928.
For the United States, the ma
tional champion, Alice Marble;
the former champion, Helen ia.
cobs, and the cup veteran, Sarah
Palfrey Fabyan, will defend the
trophy.
MARBLE VS.. HARDWICK
Alice is to meet Ruth Hardwick,
England'S No. 2 player, in the
opening singles this afternoon; in
the second. Helen Jacobs, our No.
2, will be coupled with Kay SIAM
merS, England'S No. !.
Today's doubles, winding up the
program, will bring the two No. 2
teams on the courts. Miss Marble
and Mrs. Fabyan against Joan
Ingram and Evelyn Dearman. This
one doesn't sound important but
it may turn out to be, in that the
series is to be decided on the basis
of four out Of seven matches and a
break for either side might be
the one point necessary to decide
the series.
For tomorrow's matches, the
singles principals will switch, Alice
playing Miss StammerS and Jake"
meeting Miss Hardwick. A third
singles match, featuring Mrs. Fa'
byan against Margot Lumb, and
a doubles event, featuring Jake"
and Mrs. John Van Ryn against
Miss Stammers and Frieda James,
will wind up the program.

BY r. w. MCFARLAND,
Henderson Sales Supervisor.

The Henderson tobacco market
commenced it's selling season for the
1887 crop last Thursday morning,
September 16. The opening was void
of the "ballyhoo" SO prevalent in re-
cent years on many markets, telling
the farmers of what they expected to
do and were doing, which said "bally-
hoo" did not materialize when the
true averages were published. On
the other hand, the officials of the
Henderson market on the opening day
gave to the press an estimated aver
age of $3.50 and the official average
when it was ascertained was $25.7O.
At no time since the opening of the
market have our estimated averages
varied as much as so cents per hun
dred pounds from the official average.
Up to the time of the writing of this
article TUESDAY night during the
four days of the Henderson market
operation for this season, the ware
houses have sold 1,1O2,302 pounds of
tobacco for $28S, 327.46, which is an
average for the whole of $26.16. We

the season on the Henderson tobacco
market Wednesday when an average

Mr. Mcfarland said that during the
first week farmers from seventeen
counties have. sold tobacco on the
Henderson market, some of this being
from Virginia land maybe few loads
from South Carolina" And, he added,
practically every man who has sold
so far in Henderson left the market
with his face wreathed in smiles.
Since the market opened on Thurs
day of last week, Wednesday marked
the end of the first full week of the
season, and during that time total
sales aggregated 1,269,412 pounds,
with 1886 ,5O5.62 paid for the leaf

Raleigh, Sept. 23-Little more than
