America Must Train ! Distance Team for Next Olympic Games Am Angeles Looms as Ideal Place for 1924 World Olympic Battles. By HENRY L, FARKKI.L, United Pres* Sports Editor. NEW YORK, Not. 12—“ America is through. The athletic crown worn so long by the United States Is destined for another head in the Olympic games of 1924.” This boast was made In Antwerp by the Finns and the Swedes following the late Olympic contests In which the Americans were overwhelmingly victorious. *r>.„ f- r *> of th > 'm<*'!cans to “clean up" In the track events above the sprints led the foreign experts to draw the conclusion that the new generation of Yankee athletes lacks endurance and a. It Is a matter of record that the Americana did fall to take any of the ois ten - ev nts with the exception of the 3000-metre team race, won on the last day of the games. Bat the conclusion of the European critics that t* - poor showing was the result of a decline In the physical powers of the rew school of American athletes ts wrong. NOT FAULT OF MEN THEMSELVES. The American distance rnnners did not sweep the tracks as did the sprinters, because they had no opportunity to train. The time was to short before the opening of the game*, the conditions so disagreeable on their trip to Antwerp and the weather so abominable that they were the victims of unavoidable circumstances. The Bwedes and the Fins, whose power was noted in the long distance runs, had the advantage of two weeks In Antwerp previous to the opening of the games, daring which they were able to use the stadium track daily and get acclimated to the peculiar weather conditions. It la a fact that America had a harder time to win the 1920 games than she over had before and It Is a foregone con-

Los Angeles seems to be the favorite. The Swedes, Finns,. Enellsh and French, disgusted with the manner la which ths games were conducted in Antwerp, have demanded that the games be given to America, not only because they believe an American city can handle them best, but because they are anxious to get the “joy ride trip” to the Pacific coast. Held In America, the next games would not present as many problems for the Americans that would be faced by the necessity of another long trip to a foreign country. The weather conditions in California would be Ideal for the Amer-

Bought at Receiver’s Sale More Than One Hundred Patterns of AIT Wool Suitings and Overcoat Materials

A local tailoring company, “went broke'’ and I bought their woolens at approximately 40 per cent, less than their nppraised price. It is by just such deals as this that I am enabled to give you more for your money than the smaller tailor p' ssibly can. I have the third largest shop in the city and instead of Men's Mads-to-Measure SUITS or Overcoats

At this price we will give you choice of more than 100 patterns in winter .and spring weight suitings, consisting of all-wool plain and fancy worsteds or cassiineres or of very fine quality blue or black 6erge. At $1!2.50 we will make an overcoat of all-wool brown, black or gray cheviot or from one of several patterns in all-wool novelty mixtures.

Correction In last week’s announce ment erroneously stated that the Dorsey Tailoring Company, whose entire stock of woolens we bought at receiver's sale, were "line" tailors. They were not fine till lore. Through the courtesy of the Feller Business Hu reau we learn thnt the Dorsey people sold suits on the club plan, and had the clothes made up In n cheap Chicago tailoring establishment. We are advlued that the Dorsey prices ranged from $35 to S9O, instead of from sllO to $l5O. We mnke this correction In the Interest of r]aan ( truthful advertising, and in the future we will not allow haate to prevent the verification of every statement made. The statement made that we bought the woolens at approximately 40% loss than the appraised value has been proved correct.

Every Man to his Trade If you wanted shoes, you wouldn't look for them in a hardware store. If you want a hat or a cap or a derby, why not buy it at an exclusive hat store T Levinson starts the fall and winter seasons with eightysix different styles, shapes aud colors of headgear. Here you can get the exact style, shape or color you prefer—fitted the way you want it and priced the way you want it.

CAPS Do you know tbs comfort of a warm, tight cap, on a cold, blustery day, or how It adds Joy to motorlog and sport*? Levinson has a Urge selection to choose fro m—a n and wh •> ,- s more they’re reasonably priced. $2 to $4.50

laying off my help I am putting on more men. I am not loaded up with a lot of woolens bought at high prices. On each suit and coat I make a very small profit. I doubt if there is another tailor in the state that can make as good clothes as I do at the prices I charge without losing money. $32~

The suit or overcoat I mnke for you must be right in every way. If it is not you can not take it out of the shop—your deposit will be returned or I will make you anew suit. You to decide which.
