AS WE FEEL When somebody says a "Hand-me-Down" Suit is as good as one made by expert tailors to TOUR INDIVIDUAL MEASUREMENT. How Is It possible for a suit that has been made to the measurements of a model and then manufactured by tnousands, to fit your figure? And, also HOLD It's shape? A garment must be cut to the figure not pressed and drawn from it original shape to fit the figure. A tailor-made suit will last twice as long, look far superior and hold its shape until the last.

By tumbling the white sox 3 to 1 on the South Stle yesterday Detroit's three-time pennant winners officially tolled the curfew, concluding one of the most spectacular flag pursuits in the annals of organized baseball. Sully's regulars behind Bill Burns couldn't overcome the tiger youngsters, Lellvelt and Works, which accounts for the hard-boiled finish of the immaculate hopes. Jennings sent on just enough talent to round out a team, leaving three able boded substitutes perched on the bench while the sox were doing their club swinging feats. Budding champions had real chances to show their paces and the youngsters, inspired by the presence of Fred Clarke, played as if possessed.

Two high-class little men, Monte Attell of San Francisco and Johnny Coulon of Chicago, are running about the country signing the same title, "bantamweight charapon of the world," after their names. Here In Los Angeles we have the dark horse, Danny Webster. Attell claims the title by reason of the fact that he whipped both Jimmy Walsh and Frankle Neil. Coulon's right to the championship does not appear to be based upon anything more solid than that the Chicago midget has beaten every 105-pound boy In the land and is clamng the bantamweight honors on general prnclplcs. , Promoter T. J. McCarey of the Pac;flc Athletic club offers to clear up the situation by putting Attell, Webster and Coulon on Hn a three-cornered fight for the title, giving a solid gold belt to the survivor, the weights to be 115 pounds at 3 o'clock.

V the Greys lifted a high fly to right, but instead of the man scoring on the catch he was held on third, which might have meant a victory or at any rate would have tied the score. Next Sunday the two teams will come together for the game which counts and are expected to draw a large crowd. The teams are evenly matched, and though the Hammond Greys show poor support at times, their ability as sluggers is hard to beat. The managers of these teams have as yet been unable to agree on the grounds on which the teams will compete for next Sunday's game. Batteries for yesterday's contest: Hammond Greys, Freyman and Grussic; St. Josephs. Wheeler and Jergins. James Hennessy's Hag to Hag, by two lengths In 2:43 2-5. W. K.

This was the query heard on all sides today in the sporting resorts. The fashion In which Johnson has been cruising around the city after the hours when most persons were in bed has led up to the remark being betao led to the remark being frequently brought up. In Tom Corbett's place the odds have remained steady, with Johnson favorite at 1 to 2 on the bout of Oct. 12. But the small bets have commenoed to flow in on Ketchel. This is nothing unusual. In most big bouts the outsider always gets the volume of small bets in every poolroom. But the fashion in which good-sized wagers have also commenced to come In is making the men who accept the bets think of "balancing out the book." "Johnson doesn't put enough life in hi3 work," said one follower of the game today. "The chief reason he worked out this afternoon was to gather in some money from spectators. Ketchel, on the other hand, really does get going. It is hard to get him started and I th!nk he will scale 185 when he enters the ring. But he will be in better shape than Johnson. As for the big black boxer. I don't know what he can do. He has all his speed, and doesn't perspire much at work. But that doesn't indicate what he can do if Ketchel can make a long bout of It." The general Impression among sporting men here is that Johnson intends to try a rushing bout and attempt to put Ketchel out quickly. Otherwise, they figure that Ketchel's condition will give him an advantage with every round the bout progresses. TURFMEN HOPEFUL. San Francisco, Oct. 4. Word that President Thomas II.
