 Stupendous Sale Starts Saturday.
 Tomorrow morning at g o'clock the White House Clothing Co.,, 639- -641 Wa ter St. begins a sale of such absolute magnitude, that description is beggar- ed. Such positively pre-eminent values in overcoats, suits, furnishings and shoes have heretofore been mythical but with the inauguration of tonor- rows sale, they are borne into a rare reality. The store is overstocked and cash and room are needed for the ap- preaching seasons requirements that is the reason for this gigantic merchandising event. But no matter the cause, the sale means the greatest money saving Bridgeport has ever ex- perienced and it is UD to you to get there early and enjoy this extraordin- ary economy It is difficult to ex- press the importance of this sale and to bring to your notice in an under standable light. just how great the bargains are-this is one of these in- conlprenenSiDIe events that can only be appreciated by those who see it in all it's radiant money saving splendor Don't overlook this sale--don't do it any more than you'd blind your eyes to nuggets of gold and pass them un- needed if they were strewn in your path This is the real big bargain feast of the year and you must not fail to carry nome it's great offerings of staple merchandise at to-nothing prices. This is the sale that annihi- lates competition.

MATHEWsON's
LATEST AMBITION
Strong Twirer of Giant staff Will
Pitch His 25Oth Victory
this Season.

Christie Mathewson, unless he
break his arm, or that member goes
back on him, will pitch his
250th victory on the diamond
this year. The great twirler
of the Giants has already 235
victories to his credit. There are only
112 defeats to Offset the victories,
bringing his percentage up to .677 as
twirler. Christie pitched his first
game in the National league, July II,
1900, at Washington park, Brooklyn.
Joe Kelly was the first man to face
Matty, and he drew pass. The first
of his two no hit games in the Ma
tional league was that against st.
Louis, July Is, 1901. The second was
pitched four years later against the
Cubs on the Chicago grounds.
Mathewson won 80 games in 1904,
81 in 1905, and 80 in 1903. The fol
lowing Is Matty's record o, games
won and lost since he has been in the

President NJ. e. Justice Can Sit Back
and Rest Between Now and
Opening Of Baseball
Season.
PLANS ARE PERFECTED
Has Even Gone as Far as to Order
Stationary and Blanks Pre-
diets One Of Most Sue
cessful Seasons.

AS far as can see affairs in the
Central Association are in excellent
shape and there is nothing to do now
but calmly await the opening of hos
tilities." Thus President M. e. JUS
tice summed up the present situation
of the league.
Il have even sent forms for station
airy and blanks of various kinds to
the printer, he continued, and when
q return is made there will be little
further to do before the first of May,
or few days preliminary to the
opening day.
1T would be great to be able to see
a contamination of the project of hav-
ing telegraph service direct from the
baseball parks, but realize that the
cost would be enormous, and it is not
likely that such plan will be carried
through least during the coming
season. 1t is estimated that the cost
would be a thousand dollars for the
season, and such an expense the
league can scarcely stand"
Is Very Optimistic.
President Justice is very optimistic
as to the coming league season, and
confidently predicts one of the most
successful periods ever enjoyed by a
minor league. BY conscientious work
during the winter months he has af-
fairs in such shape that the league
will work things out itself during the
months to come, and there will be lit
tie need for any other arrangements
before the real opening on April 5.
1t is encouraging to note the smooth
condition in which the league has
been sailing this winter as compared
with other leagues of the country.
OF course the stormy periods are
past, but they were passed with little
commotion. The American and Ma
tional leagues have been having trou-
bic over the schedule, as well as
other matters, while the Three-Eye
league is now in the thoes of a sche-
dule war

FACTS ABOUT LANDRY
Ned Esan, Who Effected Sale for
Superior, Says That Club is
Not Willing to Pay Big
Salary.
FACTS ABOUT LANDRY

"Rube'' Burch will sign. This state
ment was made Saturday evening by
Manager Frank Belt after he had
spent part Of the afternoon in confer
ence with the star southpaw He
says that terms were satisfactorily
arranged, and while he had no con-
tract in his pocket, one would be
signed Monday.
1t is understood that Burch was
not essentially a holdout. He mere
ly wanted little more "cush'', but
had not seen Belt since returning his
contract unsigned.
Jaeger has also forwarded his con.
tract and now the pitching staff is all
intact. In this department of the
game Keokuk should be at least as
good, If not better, than any team in
the Central Association. Such men as
Jaeger, Burch, Blue Jacket and other
men on the staff should burn up the
league and put a slight crimp in the
batting average of the erstwhile swat
tiers.
About Landry's Salary
Manager Ned Egan, OF Ottumwa,
who was doing a little buying for the
Superior, Wis, team and incidentally
purchased Jack Landry from Keokuk,
writes Manager Belt that Superior has
baked on paying Jack salary of
$3.50 per month. Although Belt has
already received the check he init
mates that the deal will not go
through, although it is difficult to
see how he can prevent it now.
Landry drew $3.50 of Keoluk' $
money every month last season, and
Belt hardly thought he could pay him
the same this season, although he
sent him contract calling for the
same amount. In the letter Egan says
Superior thought Jacks contract call
ed for s125 per month, and they would
have been more than willing to pay
| this amount to him.
Would Try Out Amateurs.
| Belt says he will give Keokuk's
amateurs an opportunity of working
out this spring if they want to- The
names of John Hayes, pitcher, and
| Paul King, infielder, have been men
toned to him by fans and he says he
would be more than pleased if they
would appear for spring training, even
going as far as to say that they would
be given an opportunity of displaying
their worth in one or more of the ex
hibition games. Hayes is the best
amateur twirler of the city and looks
as if he might make good in league
baseball He has the physique and
has plenty of speed and good control
Paul King is probably the best al
around ball player in the city ant
would make good with a years ex
| perience.
/ Belt says that all players must al
some time start and believes tha
! Keokuk's amateurs are as good a.
those to be found anywhere in the
country. At least he is willing to give
| them a chance.

close score of "a to 81, being defeated
in the last two minutes of play.
On Friday night the Hannibal team
won by the score of SO to %, and on

NEEDLESS SACRIFICE OF LIFE
Constant Supply of Pure MIX VIII Re suit in Immense Reduction of
 Infant Mortality.

The problem of the milk supply for the babies is one that has to be solved all the year round. The mortality from the gastro-intestinai diseases is heaviest during the summer, but the babies need pure milk quite as much in the winter as in the summer, and the municipalities that fail to insure 1t for them are virtually asleep at the switch. The eventual wrecking oi countless baby lives Is inevitable. The city fathers who make no provision for the supervision of the sources Of the milk supply are not only virtually asleep. but recklessly extravagant. Dr. Goler's estimate Is $500 a month for a city the size of Rochester. Put opposite this amount the economic loss. due to the appalling waste of baby life. It is estimated that 3fo.ooo babies under one year old died In this country last year. Economists put the financial value of each of these babies at $90, so that the total loss, ex' pressed merely in dollars and cents, amounted to $s3,750,oo0. And yet physicians say that at least one-haH of this waste could have been pre- vented by the adequate supervision oi the sources of the milk supply.
