BLOOMINGTON, Ind., April 23.—This is the great track squad from which Coach Guy L. Rathbun will choose his performers in the Indiana-Franklin dual meet to be held at Franklin Saturday. It is by all odds the most formidable track and field squad Indiana has ever turned out. Six -I" men are included in the group—Captain Williams, who is entered in the high jump and low and high hurdle event*; Purcell, high and broad jumper; Phillips, who throws the javelin, puts the shot, hurls the discus and takes time out to broad jump; Lindsey, a veteran hurdler, and Bullock, a midget pole vaulter. Others who give promise of winning their events are: Konrad and Johnson, sprints and hurdles; McCaw, distance runs; Pierce, weights, and Habbe, half-mile. * ( ,

NEW YORK. April 23.—Wise heads of baseball differ on the respective value of batting and pitching. Pat Moran, one of the smartest men in baseball, prefers a big stable of pitchers. John McGraw rates the pitching staff at close to 76 per cent, of the club's strength. Kid Gleason leans a little bit to hitting as the most valuable asset. Other managers differ. Results *so far th s season give some interesting evidence. Take the Detroit Tigers, one of the heaviest hitting teams in the American League, a club with the greatest slugging outfield in baseball, with the champion of the league, and a quintet of regular every-day .340 swatters. Murderers* Row. The Tigers are in last place. They haven't won a game this season. Cobb. Flagstaff, Veach. Heilman and Bush can knock the cover off the ball, to no avail. Detroit isn’t getting the pitching, and while those sluggers are pounding out hits bv flocks, the weaker hitting opposition is having a similar carnival off poor pitching or walking around by the gift of wild hurlers. Miserable pitching is keeping Jen-

nings In^tbe oellar.^ Vetrait annua°lVy h haV bLn picked*!* a runnerup when the dopesters ran over the “murderers* row r ’ in the llnenp. but the Tigers have consistently fallen a victim to the pitching malady. John McGraw has one of the brat pitching staffs in baseball, yet the Giants are in the last bole. The tram isn’t hitting. It * in a batting slump and some good pitching has been W Toney and Benton have pitched tw* games that would have turned in a victory with minor league support at the bat, but the New Yorkers couidn t deliver and the Giants have only one victory to their credit^

In the Midst of the World’s Highest Clothing Prices

Few tailors nowadays are advertising their prices and the average layman is accordingly in the dark on this subject. Kahn prices are not prohibitive and are quoted in every announcement we make. Aside from that of quality they - are the strongest argument we have to offer. Don’t compare them with what you have been paying in the past (you must pay more now unless you are willing to forego quality) but with the prices of good clothes now in effect elsewhere. We Will Make You a Splendid Suit to Measure as Low as • ' ***: , Hr "*l*’'**l •7 'HlwV- * 1 fit TA ’ ' * and Up 4 (ReadyforService Frices Are $33, $40, $30, $33 and Up)

You should know boyoitd • doubt that the money you spend for clothes these days is bringing you a full return. It is possible now to buy poor clothes or good clothe*, as it always has been. You had best be assured that you are not investing in the former—you can not use too much care in spending your clothes money appropriation nowadays.
