JOHNSON OUTFOXES
"OLD FOX" GRIFFITH
Star HurIer Takes French Leave
and Goes on Hunting Trip
Without Permission.
SCHAEFER IN THE PARTY
Three Players Leave Early in
the Morning to Chase Rey-
nard Over the Hills.
By SENATOR

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, March 25.
Walter Johnson, Herman Schaefer,
and Allen Scheer went fox hunting this
morning out among the hills Of Abe
marie county In company with William
Hullfish, who kindly provided dogs and
horses for the chase They did so, how
ever, without the sanction of Manager
Grifflth and had to creep out of Griffith
Hall at 5:45 this morning without at
tracing their boss attention. Clyde
Milan and Elliott Dent had thought Of
going on the chase, but when Milan
asked permission he was turned down
quicker than that. So Schaefer and
Scheer took the places of Milan
Dent, Johnson going on with his plans.
Griffith's position in this matter is per-
fectiy correct. Injury to johnson, such
as a broken arm or leg, would practi-
cally render null and void the attempt
OF the Climbers to gain a high rank in
the coming league race. 1t is too great

Cleveland waived on his services, and
Manager Griffith, having already prom
ised to send Welchonce to Atlanta,
purchased him ticket and sent him
on his way
At first Welchonce was unwilling to

that circuit or going to some Interna-
tional League team. Nashville failed to
put In a claim Cor the big outrielder
in time last winter, and SO was turned
down by the national commission when
II made late demand for him: Griffith
had already promised Billy Smith he
could have Welchonce, II the player
failed to make good here, and SO he
went through with the deal

Of sugar and tobacco. He received his

You hear and read
a lot about cheap
clothes; and maybe
you buy some

of them; the clothes are often
cheaper than the price; the
burden of cheap clothes is
always carried by the wearer.
We've tried to standardize
quality in clothes; the only
way to do it is to put the
quality in the goods, not
simply in the talk about
them; and that means that
it has to be in the price also.
You can get more for your
money if you pay SIS for
one of our suits than if you
pay less. If you can afford
SIS for a suit you'll be better
satisfied than If you pay sly
or $50. It's logical that a
maker who wants to put all
the value possible into his
goods can put in more for
SIS than for Si8 or SO.
If SIS is all you can afford,
,don't be ashamed of it;
you'll get suit you needn't
be ashamed of, if you buy
ours.
