club. will be permitted to give q de-

the newspapers alone would be adhered

was learned today that there is some
possibility Of Harry Pollock. manager
of Welsh. granting the club the privi-
lege to render a decision.
This matter was not thoroughly set
tied upon when Lowe and Welsh were
brought to terms. but IL Is the desire OF
the Ardmore Club to please all parties
in the matter. Lowe has put in three
of the most vigorous days of training
since the articles with Welsh were
drawn up. and his sparring partners
and trainer. Jerry Mccarthy, say that
the blond boy Is In excellent shape for
the fight of his life" Lowe is gaining

Unusual Values Offered at
Model Clothes Shop, 1921
Pa. Ave. N. W.

81 didn't believe that II was possible
to buy a suit of such excellent quail

customer who stopped in at the Model
Clothes Shop, at 1921 Pennsylvania
avenue northwest. several days ago
to see the special line of suits being
advertised at SO. The salesman in
formed him that II wasn't possible
ordinarily, but that the firm had been
fortunate in obtaining n large ship
ment of these suits at figure which
permits them to offer values as high
as SIS for a ten-dollar bill
There are go9d 3D. many nan m men wh IN

must pay a top figure for their clothes.

both extreme and conservative mod
els. Such fabrics as Serges, Worsteds,
Cheviots, Cassimeres, etc. in Checks.

in practically every shade and color.
The range of sizes is equally COM
prehensive. No matter what a mans
proportions may be, he'll hnd exactly
the suit he wants-and the price will
be only $40, instead of SIS or SIS, or
even more,
II stands to reason. of course. that
the stock on hand cannot last long.
Everyone knows that there has been
a tremendous rise in the cost of WOOL

becoming acute. Still further compli-
eating matters is the fact that labor
