Nire persons out Of ten who buy pianos
are most concw ned with the finish of the case.
They infinitely examine the carving and
characterization, and calculate to nicely how
highly it is polished, saying with great salts
faction, I can see my face in it" But if that
be all they consider, their satisfaction is short
lived, because it is no impossible task to have
profuse ornamentation and an extremely high
polish on case containing decidedly inferior
action-an action unworthy the enbellish-
ments Of the case which contains it.
In buying Knabe Piano the most elaborate
desires, as to characterization, can be satisfied,
and the 1ustre Of its finish is indispensable.
Eight coats Of varnish and twenty-one pro-
cesses bring the Knabe Piano to its final stage
Of beauty and, best Of all, within the case is
an action which for seventy years has been
the worlds standard Of comparison. Made
Of the best materials that money can buy and
skill adapt, the Knabe Piano tone is but the
evolution Of this perfection Of parts, which,
assembled under the personal supervision Of
the third generation Of The House Of Knabe,
in the most modern and extensively equipped
piano factory Of the world, has won the
appreciation Of two Continents and can neither
be copied nor initiated.

PALMER
WILL Be
CAPTAIN
Especial 70 TIE TINES

East Chicago, Ind, Sept. 1.-THE
East Chicago high school football squad
met yesterday and elected Arthur Pal
mer of the class of 1910 captain. The
squad VIII meet Saturday afternoon for
the first real practice of the season.
Prof. =. E. Amidon will coach the team.
Crown Point has already written for
a game with East Chicago, and the To-
cal team expects to meet Gary and
Whiting before the season closes. 1t
looks like East Chicago VIII put up a
good team this year Weight at least
is in their favor as the men average
from 40 to 145 pounds. Captain Pal
mer is tho heaviest man in the aggre-
cation. his weight being something
over $50 pounds.
The men who are to undergo the try
ing out process Saturday include:
Arthur Palmer, Howard Clark Jr.,
Ernest Spence, William Riley, Llywalof
Johns, Roy Peterson, Jack Davis, Rus
sell Hill. Haskell Brands, Alex Reid
Ben Silverman, Eli Levin. Ben Hush
James Spittle and William 10th.
If the football squad shows evidence
of making good. basketball practice
will be deferred until early in Deem
Der. If the first game is unpromising
the practice by the basketball squad
will commence at once.

KETCHEL WILL HURRY TO COAST
FOR HIS BATTLE WITH JOHNSON

Johnson Willis Britt had counted on
going to Philadelphia or Boston in
case the governor stepped in and
stopped the Fairmont show. That is
why Britt had asked Coffroth to get
Johnson to agree to postponement
in order that he might be able to
switch the battle-ground
Forfeit Draws KetcheI West.
Johnson stubbornly refused to grant
any delay and insisted that Britt's man
be in California on Sept. 81 to begin
training or forfeit the $4,000 now in
the handse of w. w. Naughton of the
San Francisco Examiner. Yesterday it
was rumored that Johnson had declared
that Ketchel could take his time about
appearing the scene so long as he was
seated in his corner on the afternoon
of Oct. 2. Britt settled all doubt last
night when he exhibited two kilograms
just received from Jimmy Coffroth,
one which read:
You must be in training by Sept. p
or Johnson will claim your forfeit"
The other read:
johnson won't postpone; but per-
haps unnecessary now"
That settled it with US" said Willus.
I'VE leave Friday or Saturday for
home. Perhaps It is just as well that
we do. If we waited for them to drum
up the card for a Philadelphia or Bos-
ton club it would mean that we would

to finish up for Johnsonson. That fight
