Early Fall Suits

In advertising Suits, as
well as any other line of mer-
chandise, it is our aim to inn
press on the public the inn
portance of quality. The
bargain" now demands an
explanation for its being.
Mere price is no longer a sell
ing argument in itself. II is
slowly but surely being
forced into the background
by the clear notes of quality
and merit.
When you get a Suit, it is
not the amount that is paid
which counts: il is rather
the service you get from the
purchase. IL is the service
coupled with the style and
quality that gives the real
pleasure and makes for any
business a lasting customer.
Our line Of suits. which is nov
ready for your inspection, is from

MOCULS WILLNOT
CONFIRM RUMORS
Owners of Cincy Reds aud Cards Say
They VIII Not Sell Clubs to Fed
eral Promoter.

New York, Dec. 49, - If National
league franchises are to be sold to Fed
eraI league milIionafres to close this
baseball war. parties attached to the
veteran organization will not admit it.
The National leaguers assemble here
tomorrow morning for their annual
meeting and since the close of the 1918
season it has been limited and rumored
that several magnates in Tener's cir
cult would dispose Of their holdings to
the Coal Oil Johnnies.
The advance guard Of the magnates
counts up to two. They are August
Hermann Of the Cincinnati Reds and
Schuyler Pearson Britton of the ST
Louis Cardinals. And Hermann and
Britton refused to admit that they were
here to dispose of their stock. This
does not mean that the Federals nroh-
ably would not purchase, but it means
that they have not bought into the Ma
tional league.
1t has been said that Cincinnati St
Louis, Chicago and New York would he
sold to the Federals. With the rumors
OF selling have been linked stories Of
closing this baseball war during the
National league meeting. The inside
tip is this:
Two National league magnates. who
have been mentioned as being willing
TO sell, are not going to sell. This was
the definite announcement from Her-
mann and Britton this evening.

CRITICS At ODDS

Bets in West in Selecting All

Chicago, Ill, Dec. 13,-After digest

picked by Walter Camp. football au-
thorities in the west came to the CON
clusion that the Yale oracle had over
looked a few bets, One Of the sur
prises was the omission of Chamber
lain Of Nebraska from all three teams.
This player is regarded as one OF the
greatest if not the peer of any end in
the country. Although Baston of Min
nesota is rated as a strong player
Chamberlain is put several notches
above the Gopher by practically every
western critic.
Another surprise was the fact that
neither Driscoll OF Northwestern nor
Bierman Of Minnesota was given a
place. These two are considered on
par with the best IN the country. Tn
doubtedly Mr. Camp took into consid-
Grafton Macomber's ability as a kick
er when he placed him on the team,
and, on the whole, there should be no
great dissent in the selection of the
Illinois star, although western opin-
ion differs as to the relative strength
of ATacomber and several other west
ern backs,
II the east has any better tackle
than Buck of Wisconsin they must
be whales, in the opinion of those who
have watched the Badgers for three
years OF course, it is recognized
that Mr.. Camp probably did not see
more than one western game and
that early in the season, and had 10
rely on information from coaches and
others, It is to be noticed. however,
that on All-Am0rican teams pick in
by western critics Macomber did not
find a place, while Bierman and Cham
berlain did.

recorded in the Omaha minutes a year
ago. by President Tearney Of the Three
Eyes, that if his league did not occupy
the territory In 1915 it would relin-
quish the territory TO the Central asso-
citation, which was at that time anx-
iOus to place a club there. The state
.meut was accepted as d compromise in
the effort to amend the five mile rule
so far as it applied to Rock Island.
In the major leagues the consent Of
the club affected IS necessary to al
low a club of another league to operate
within its five mile radius. In the Ma
tional association rules the league is
vested with that authority Therefore
the contention of the Central associa-
ton is that the Three-Eye league is
bound by the declaration of President
Tearney. made a year ago. despite the
present objection of President Hayes
of Davenport.
