Where Shall We Go to Buy
Goods Cheap?

"That is the question" that hi S
been agitating the minds of the pur-
chasing public for the last few weeks,
and now the answer comes back
from the mouths of every man, wo-
men and child in both town ond
country, who has visited our store
during the last month-ROSS &
SONS is the place!! ROSS &
SONS is the place!!
Now the question naturally arises
why is Ross & Sons the place to buy
goods cheap? Because we buy from
the manufacturers direct and save
the consumer the middle mans
profit.
We are determined to maintain the
reputation we have achieved, and
next week we will offer special bar
gains in the following goods

turned to his old home for a bride.
The couple left on the afternoon train
for Kansas City, bearing good wishes
of hosts of admiring friends. The

GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY


The championship struggle will begin ON
wednesday among the National League
clubs. The prospects of busy and pros
porous season never were brighter, and those
financially interested in the business never
were more confident. The eight clubs seem
to be better, generally speaking, than last
year. Of course Cleveland is not as strong
as Detroit was, but the balance of them ap-
pear to be stronger than they were. Our
team has had reasonable try during the
last few weeks, but it would be unfair to
form any estimate of the teams merits on
the work done. That the club is consider
ably better than it was last year no one will
doubt, that is, if we take it on paper. In
practical work, however, it won't be wide
of the mark to say that it will do greater
things than did the team of 1888. There
is still great uncertainty as to how
the team will be made up. Rumors are again
current about Rowe and White coming here.
One authority states that deal is going on by
which the players are to receive part of their
purchase money. If this can be satisfactorily
arranged they will play here. There is another
view of the matter. If they cannot secure
portion of their advance money they VII prob
ably not secure their releases, and in that event
they will not be allowed to play with any club
except Pittsburg. 1t does not seem reasonable
TO think that the Buffalo club can keep two
managers, or even one, at the salary that Rowe
and White would receive here. To hold out
for principle is heroic, but it very often does
not fit in with the practical affairs of life.
However, if the players named come here. then
we may expect few important changes in the
nine

The Promising Men,

During the last few days we have had ample
opportunity to judge of the work of the young
'uns" of the team. So far the tests have been
exceedingly pleasant and encouraging Mich
OILS, the outfelder. has shown up to great ad-
vantage, and he appears to be well worth keep
ing. In the past the club has had many expert
ments in retaining young players merely for
what they might turn out to be. 1t seems to
me that in no instance has there been a more
promising youth in the local team than Mich
ols. To be sure, he may be a failure, and
rank one at that, but what contend is there is
nothing like failure abo ut him at present He
seems to possess all the essentials of a success
full ball player He has that dash, energy, in
telligence, ambition and aptitude that charac-
terize good men, And Maui has done well SO
far. Probably more attractiye-looking young
fellow, as far as a ball player is con-
cerned, would be hard to find.
In watching Maul's movements a critic would be
hard to convince that he would not develop into
good player. 1t is true that he has not made
the progress expected of him. but so far this
season he has done well. 1 wouldn't be sur
prised, however, to see Albert disposed of. 1t
wouldn't be fair to come to any definite con-
clusion about Allen. He has not by far had
reasonable test In the few games he has
played, however he has displayed some excel
lent qualities. He is remarkably quick, but his
ueINOuSness mas eNluently DOJneTeQ MIN con-
slderably. This last named fault he will get
over. Hustling among League people will soon
strengthen up his nerves, and then we will like.
ly have another short stop who will rank among
the hrst-class people. Altogether the team has
very encouraging outlook both as regards the
old and young players, The pitchers will
assuredly get better than they are now. Some
good steady work will make Morris, Conway
and Calvin each more effective. Staley seems
to be better than he was last year; he certainly
is stronger.

Holdeu's Last Victory,

The victory of Holden over Harry Bittle on
Saturday night proves the former to be some
thing out of the ordinary as a featherweight
pugilist. Of course Bittle is not the best in
the world, but he is useful and plucky little
fellow. at anyrate such men as Weir, Muir
ply apd Warren can no longer refuse to meet
Holden. never have much faitn in Warren's
meeting anybody, but the probabilities are
that he'll get all he wants if he ever tackles
Holden in a bona1ide battle. One of the three
named, however, will accommodate Holden
shortly.\ PRNGLE.
