Cobb Is only human and it Is expected he will fall for the contract. The meeting of the American League wae scheduled for the Hotel Belmont. Johnson's league has not yet ratified the new National baseball agreement, and this was one of the Important items on the slate. In addition to routine affairs that always coma up In a league meeting and perhaps some new ideas that may os lntrod >?ed by some of the club owners, the American Leaguers had a little peacemaking to do. The rift between Johnson and his loysl five and Messrs. Ruppert. Huston, Frazes and Comlskey has not been entirely forgotten.

Before the end of the weak It la practically certain that Presidents Johnson and Heydler, who will act with Judge Landis in adopting all new baseball legislation from cow on, will confer regarclng changes in the playing rnlea and may draw up anew set or regulations governing the world's series. The National League hat already gone on record favoring tne continuance or the use of the spitball by pltchera who have learned to depend on ft. The American League, It Is believed, may take like action. This will be good news to fltngers like Stan Coveleekie, hero of the recent world's series. Bill Doak and many others.

Here’s the Home of the $32.50 All-Wool Men’s Suits and Overcoats At $32.50 I offer you the choice of more than eighty all-wool patterns in both fall and winter weights. The question naturally arises, how can I make an all-wool suit or overcoat as low as $32.50 and still make a profit? Easily answered. It 16 the old, old story of merchandising, of selling direct from producer to consumer and cutting out numerous middlemen s profits. I have an established credit with some of the largest woolen mills In tho country and because I pay cash and take advantage of all discounts they are glad to give me some concessions. I also buy up job lots and bankrupt stocks at. 20 to 50 per cent less than cost. Outside of the direct makifig of the suit or overcoat ray expenses are extremely small or nothing at all. You know what old Abe Lincoln said about fooling the people some of the time. The men of Indianapolis have found out that I mean every word I say and are coming to my shop in larger and larger numbers. I guarantee every suit or overcoat I make to come up to your expectations In every dc* tail; otherwise I will return your deposit immediately. LEON ETTENGER

Carlisle, So hoe nr men and Campbell uncovered * nifty offensive game for the visitors last night, running the ball down under the basket time and time again, only to miss short shots that would have been easy for any of them had they got a few "breaks. FTlddls worked at backguard and broke up many Wabash plays. Goldsberry, star of the Wabash five, was smothered under ulrtlght guarding and warfc able to hit the basket from the floor only two times, Adams leading In the scoring for the collegians. * Schoeneman opened the scoring .or Wabash with a toss from the foul line, followed qnlckiy with n foul throw by Goldsberry.
