coming season came to town late
Wednesday, and was brought in
by j. S. Pace, of Route T., Clay

pounds. and was laid away IN the
warehouse to which it was taken
to await the start of sales on next
Tuesday. when the season opens
in the Middle Belt.
Mr.. Pace brought this leaf to
Henderson by truck. He left 1t
here and returned home to come
back Saturday of this week with
additional tobacco for sale on the
local market.
The truckload brought in We'd
nesday was mostly of primings

fairly good leaf. 1t is expected 1t
will command good price when
it goes on sale Tuesday.
The fact that the first load for
the season came from a consider

to believe that Henderson would
draw tobacco this year from the
far reaches of the markets terri

branch out the territory to be
served by this market, and the

no coordination with tn e

greatest stampede on any of the

create pin money for the %

to a man that their luck is
about to turn.

Washington enjoyed one of its
heaviest scholastic basketball days
yesterday when no less than eight

Headlining the attractions was
the game between st. Johns and

marked st. Johns thirteenth vic

coming from the powerful George

Clarke, the defending cham.
pion, will be shooting for his
third victory in the annual duck
pin classic and his second stake
triumph in a month.
The No. bowler of the United
States assumed the leadership
last Sunday night at the Lucky
Strike when he tackled on a 500
set to his first round five.game
total of 661. With 1850 for his
10 games, Clarke can smash mis-
own record for the event with a
643. But he may need more
sticks than that to finish ahead
of his worthy rival.
Wolfe shot a sensational sec.
ond.block all-time record set Of
761 at the Lucky Strike to gain
the runner-up spot, after a dis
couraging $50 in the opening block
at Georgetown.
Tony Santini, the 1892 winner,
must be given a lookin on the
ultimate results. The Convention
Hall howitzer has 1908 for his
10 games and could easily get in
the thick of the hectic struggle
should he reenact his brilliant
effort of 1882.
Bill KrauSs, another Occidental
star who gave Clarke a chase in
last years affair, stands a fair
chance Of crowding into the pic
ture with some exceptional roll
ing. His score for the 10 games is
1888.

Barnunl Was Right

But his fancy is by no means
futile. because the curiosity of
the tourist trade knows no
bounds either. Barnum was
right and should go down in his
tory as one of Americas most
astute philosophers.
The only thing that remains,
with reference to the football
and figure skating episodes, is
for some Miami merchant to put
on a sale of coonskin coats to
give a completely goofy and gro
tesque trimming to the pros
poets.
AS foe your footballers, what
they need more than third
