GOOD ADVERTISING,
 GOOD PRICES AND
 FIRST CLASS GOODS.

Last Friday the Surprise Store used a two page advertisement in The Far mer, well written and displayed, full
 of remarkable values in clothing, and furnishing goods for men and boys. The sale was called the Factory and Store Clearance Sale and was exact ly what it purported to be, a clean up sale. The response by the people of this vicinity was remarkable. Mr Barker the manager of this store, saying that many times on Saturday and Saturday night the doors had to be closed for five or ten minutes at time, as the crowd could not be properly handled. This notwithstand- ig the fact that over fifty extra, trained, salesmen had been engaged. In fact. all the experienced clothing statesmen that could be obtained were engaged. The success of this sale proves the fact that store with a first class reputation like the Surprise enjoys, coupled with right prices, goods and salesmanship, with the right kind of advertising, pays and pays big.

SULLIVAN TELLS GOOD STORY OF
 EARLY DAYS IF CURVE PITCHING

CHICAGO, Feb. 2i.-Ted Sullivan the Chicago baseball player. tells all amusing incident in his career. In 1879 ne organized his first baseball club he Dubuques. whicL won the championship of the first Nort Invest ern league. Comlskey was only a substitute on the team, and Charles Radbourne was just beginning to show his ability as pitcher. Sullivan had arranged an exhibition game at Prairie du Chien, Wis but had stipulated that the game should begin at 2 o'clock so his club could catch 8 train. When the team arrived on the grounds the manager tried to have the game postponed until 4 o'clock, as the heavy hitter of the home team was school teacher who could not appear before that hour, but Sullivan had to decline. The farmers opined that the reason Sullivan declined was that ne was afraid that tho school teacher would bat his pitcher out of the box and it was only a professional trick The rest of the story is. best told in Sullivan's own words:
 Well, the game started, and we continued to hit the ball around and the Prairie boys began to kick it around, so they finally got US out and We made about ten runs. We took the field, and that king of pitchers, Radbourne, took bis position with smile. After the first two Du Chiea boys struck out we noticed that a crowd got behind the backstop and began pecping through the cracks. Groups of the spectators got on both sides of the catcher wanting to find out what was mystifying about the ball Finally one cf their players rushed up to the umpire and stated that our pitcher was throwing a crooked tall. We nearly fell in the field laughing. They. however, Ge- handed to see the ball to see if il was crooked. They pu' in another ball of their own and tuu close watch on Radbourne Radbourne be- gan to curve the ball in all directions. and more than ever before. Finally the game ended 9 to in Dubuques' favor

GOLF BALL DISC JssloN.
There is No Need Of Standardizina
 1t, Says Walter J. Travis.

There Is no need of standardizing the golf ball in the opinion of Walter J. Travis. Up to date the ruling bodies here and abroad have done nothing decisive. though it win be remembered that at the annual meeting of the United States Golf association, held in Philadelphia a month ago, a reso-
 lItiOn was passed authorizing the ex- ecutve committee to thoroughly in vestigate the subject Not a voice was raised in protest of that time. Since
 then word has been received to the effect that the Royal and Ancient
 Golf club of St. Andrews have decided tu t1ze some action with regard to the ball. This will not occur, however. be-
 fore the spring meeting. Travis's ob- : jecUons to standardization are in part as fellows:
 Virtually the same things were said eight or nine years ago when the rub ! her core first came in, and doubtless the same talk was heard fifty years ago when the gutty was first intro
 Cuced Time has couclusively shown

 gladly welcome any ball that will gil e tAgm increased distance They play

SOME OLYMPIAN STARS
 ARE AFTER MONEY NOW

NEW YORK, Feb. 23-"Dollarlust" will cause the absence from the Olym- pic games of 1912 of some of the greatest athletes that ever drew on spiked shoe. The "call of the coin" has been heard during the last few years by athletic stars in all corners of the world. As a result many of the greatest runners in history are now professionals and therefore ineligible to represent their nations in the big international carnival.
 If one should attempt to generalize and formulate a specific reason for this recent growth of commercialism in athletics, it would be no hard task. The reason is the growth of interest in athletic sports and the corresponding increase in the number of dollar admission fees that can be lured into a turnstile box placed at the entrance to an athletic stadium.
 Marathon Men Flop
 typical example of this in our own country is seen in the case of Johnny Hayes, the little New York CT, who won the 1908 Olympic Mara thon at London No sooner had he returned to this country than he set out on a series of professional Mara thon's against other pros" notable among them being Dorando Pietri, the Italian whom he defeated on a technicality in London Hayes has been cleaning up the coin ever since and is now fairly established for a life of comparative ease during the rest Of his days. But he cannot repre- sent his country at Stockholm dur ing the coming summer. He is full fledged pro
 Of course the same can be said Of Dorando, too. the only difference be- ing that he has garnered just about twice as many simoleons as has Hayes. Dorando is now back in sun ny Italy and will have to stay there while less proficient Marathoners try to carry the colors of his fatherland 10 glory at Stockholm
 Sprinters Ineligible

Nat Cartmell, formerly Of the University of Pennsyl- vania who was right on Rector S heel in the London sprint, is a pro by the same token. He has, like the

 But as to Holmer-He has done run ming ~on the other side" that has been little short of wonderful. He ran consistently and won every race since his invasion of England until he came to the professional classic of the year in that country-the POwdeThall Mar athon. And he was forced to take second in that event only after his conqueror executed what was probab ly the greatest finish ever put up in any Marathon. He lost the race by ten yards.
